The Super Nintendo Star Wars trilogy was great fun to make. We had a great team at #LucasArts and at #SculpturedSoftware.
This review also includes an excerpt from an episode of the TV program "La nuit cyber" broadcast on the French Canal + in 1993 where Jon Knoles ( @jonk1969 ) appears explaining how they adapted the movements of Vader - youtube.com/watch?v=siLdr5n3…
I've generally been avoiding this site but wanted to express my sadness about the death of #CarlWeathers. Legend.

Updated #StarWars Outrider replica in Starfield, this one more proportionally correct to my original blueprints and 3D model based on Doug Chiang's awesome design. Great fun to fly through asteroids in combat!
Made a ship in #Starfield that's sorta like the Outrider that I built for the #StarWars Shadows of the Empire game a long, long time ago. It's also pretty badass in ship combat and carries a ton of cargo and can have 4+ crew members.
Soon as I decide if I want to sign up for a replacement site, I'll delete this stupid "X" account. Till then, consider this my last Tweet (or Xeet or whatever the hell).
My #Porsche356 rolled off the assembly line exactly 62 years ago today. June 22, 1961.
Ah, the salad days. What a n00b I was. 30 years ago, holy shit time flies.

24 years ago today I believe was "pencils down" for us on the "Racer" dev team. Off to manufacturing to be on shelves when the movie hit theaters in May.
Best line from any show or movie in 2022 was delivered by Jeff Bridges in The Old Man, "Do you recognize me now?"
