Update #31 - Like Mac games?
September 10th 2021
|
Good news fellow Cornic'ers! Former Inside Mac Games editor-in-chief Tuncer Deniz granted permission to Cornica to host all Quicktime videos from the good ol' days of Macintosh games. So we'll be preserving that part of Mac gaming history!
Among the crowd there's some real gems. A preview of the never released Blood & Magic for Mac ("should be out in September"). Yeah, unless your mother company files for bankruptcy. Wonder what happened to the beta version....
There's some also some rare footage of original Macintosh games (read: not AAA PC-ports) like Battle Girl or Gridz. Also added video material about the long forgotten "Macintosh Tekken" The Untouchable and a 1997 interview with the Cyberflix crew working on Redjack. Plus you get the chance to listen to Bill ("Turbo Tongue") Dugan's 1997 predictions about Apple's future and the state of Mac gaming.
There's still a lot of content to be added, so keep checking our games category every once in a while.

Update #30 - Tutorials and Dreams
August 27th 2021
|
Small update before the weekend! Two new videos for our tutorial section: Both cover new functionality that came with Mac OS 8. One is about Spring Loaded Folders and the other one about the lesser known Popup Windows. (Thanks David, for pointing to the source!)
Also, user Ethan made a first great upload with the Apple Dreams video he took from the CD that came bundled with his Apple PowerCD. Way to go, Ethan!
Stay tuned for more updates in September and don't forget to upload your Quicktime treasures.

Update #29 - More new stuff & a personal request
August 15th 2021
|
A little bit for everyone's taste: Our new Nature & Travels category now has a Quicktime VR of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C., the Apple category has a new video with impressions from the MacWorld Expo '97 in Tokyo and there are new-old gameplay movies for Skullcracker, Myth - The Fallen Lords, Eat my Photons and the Choicestick adapter in our games section.
Dronecatcher uploaded an extensive archive of Cold War era public information films to Cornica, which were created by the British government to inform its citizens on the right behavior in case of a Soviet nuclear strike ...
On a personal note, hot summer is here in central Europe with temps rising inside & outside. The Power Mac G4 used to create Cornica and its videos starts to wheeze and since I like my beef roasted, not my G4, I'll probably take a two week of vacation before the next update or until it's getting cooler again
That said, I have a personal request to close this changelog with: does anyone have a copper heatsink for a Power Mac G4 MDD that he'd be willing to part with? I'm hopeful it would help keeing the temps in my G4 in check. Please drop me a line if you do.

Update #28- We're expanding!
August 11th 2021
|
Say "Hi!" to our new Nature & Travel category. It had been some time in the making and my excuses to the loyal folks who uploaded videos and had to patiently wait until I finally got it going. (sorry Dronecatcher & adrianrmarsh!)
Well, now it's here! What to expect? Quicktime videos that will take you from your desk to places on our planet. Remember how jaw-dropping the experience was the first time you saw a Quicktime 360° VR video of a location? Yeah, right - life in Cyberspace was just around the corner ...
Enjoy the new category, don't forget to upload your stuff should you have something to share and let us know what you think of the category (or yet missing ones!) in our guestbook.

Update #27 - Grab the Mic!
August 8th 2021
|
You know Quicktime movies. You know Quicktime VR? Sure! Know that Quicktime was good for (small) games as well? Yeah. So what have we been missing? Yeah - Quicktime Karaoke!
We're starting with four Quicktime Karaoke songs in our music category. No idea how much interest is there but if there is any, we may likely add some more. For now, enjoy singing YMCA in front of your obsolete* Macintosh.
* says Tim.
