![]() ![]() I can’t promise that posts will be any more frequent in coming months on here but I should have a new “tour” of the collection coming up over the holidays for those curious about how many games, gaming systems and related ephemera it’s possible to pack into one small loft conversion. This unadulterated version doesn’t have all the text/logos obscuring it and was slightly cropped on all sides for the final box art. To go along with the letter there was a print of the illustration which is identical to the one ultimately used on the cover as far as I can see. The team behind the NES port in Japan clearly felt differently keeping the single figure of the Avatar which was used on just about all of the other ports. He cites his reason for the change being that Japanese tend to be group oriented so they introduced a party on the cover while trying to maintain the same atmosphere. This is a letter from Fumitaka Sase of the Fujitsu FM Towns department to Robert Garriott asking for permission to use an alternative cover for the FM Towns port of the game. I’m back just in time for Xmas with another Origin relic dating from January 1992. Ultima 3 works in the same way, except all the notes are on the one channel meaning you can only pick the one instrument (at least without more advanced equipment to process the MIDI). It’s certainly a nice extra to have included in the game for those ST owners who had the extra hardware. No doubt there is a suitable combination that will work in all cases but I tried restarting with my new settings and it sounded a little off to my ears:-Ī little more experimentation is definitely required but I ran out of time. The snag is that those same instruments will then be used on every other piece of music. The music is split into 6 channels giving me 6 instruments to choose for the various parts. The notes are simply being switched on and off. There doesn’t appear to be any subtlety in the instructions, in terms of volume and the like. A whole lot better than the original beeps anyway. There is certainly room for improvement but that sounded reasonable to my ears at least. I let the title screen cycle through tracks while changing instruments. This means I have to fiddle around on the SC-155 picking instruments myself. Several years layer, general MIDI was introduced with a standard set of instruments but at this time every device would simply do its own thing. This is because, while the game is outputting MIDI instructions, it doesn’t send any more than just the notes so it all defaults to the grand piano. You’ll no doubt have noticed that the music is being played entirely on piano. On starting the game, this is what I got:. While fairly ancient, this synth is still more modern than what was available at the time. To the best of my knowledge, Ultima 3 and 4 were the only Origin games to support MIDI on the ST.įor the purposes of trying them out, I’ve connected up my SC-155 to the ST’s MIDI out. If you had that sort of money, you probably had an Amiga or PC by then. I can’t imagine many gamers took advantage of this given that the MT-32 would have cost far more than the ST itself. Sierra included MT-32 support for some of their games and were the main proponents. MIDI didn’t see a whole lot of use in ST games in truth. Watch enough 80’s Top Of The Pops and you will see the occasional ST driving synths. The built-in MIDI support of the ST was a unique feature, leading to the machine being used for years in music production. It’s not horrible but it lags way behind the Amiga which would come out mere months later. The built-in Yamaha sound chip on the Atari ST is in effect the same as on the ZX Spectrum 128 or Amstrad CPC, i.e. Apologies as ever for the usual quality of the video on here as I’m still just pointing my phone at the screen. What is somewhat less well known is that the earliest two Ultima games to support music had built-in MIDI support from the beginning on the Atari ST. This is something I’ve been wanting to try out for ages.įirst off, a quick look at Ultima 4 running without MIDI. I’m sure all Ultima fans are aware of the fan patches that add MIDI support to some of the early DOS Ultimas. ![]() I’ve started a new job which currently means many hours of commuting every day and when I’ve not been doing that, I’ve had my hands full getting my house ready to sell.

You can make it yourself or buy it premade, but it’s not expensive, and it keeps for an extensive amount of time. The tamarind tree is a common hardwood fruit tree that is native to Africa but now grows all over both Mexico and Asia. Then, the raw fruit is steeped in hot water for thirty minutes before being drained through a sieve to remove and extra fibrous threads or seeds. After being removed from the pod, the pulp is pulled away from the seeds. ![]() The paste generally comes either from a slab of the tamarind fruit or from the pods (which you can see above). Due to its naturally thick, fibrous consistency, the tamarind fruit is the perfect ingredient to make a paste. Tamarind paste is made from the sour, dark, sticky fruit-or pods-of the tamarind tree. (Yes just like peppers, tamarinds are fruits) What is Tamarind Paste? The tree bears large brown pods that contain the tamarind fruit. The genus Tamarindus is monotypic, meaning that it contains only this species. What is Tamarind?īefore the paste, comes the Tamarind, which is a leguminous tree that bears edible fruits.

In part, it’s because it already had interesting characters and dense plotting to draw on. Starring Christian Slater, Tara Reid and Stephen Dorff, it bombed at the box office, grossing $12.7 million against a $20 million budget. Minus Henry Cavill and the recognizable characters of the games, Blood Origin limped along as just another slab of forgettable, violent fantasy dross.īoll desecrated many games, including House of the Dead, BloodRayne and Far Cry, but the 'jewel' in his crown was Alone in the Dark - often described as one of the worst films of all time.Īlone in the Dark has a one percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics saying it prompts 'incredulous laughter' rather than scares. The key problem (and one that the producers should have anticipated) is not having enough action related to the characters from the games and books. Henry Cavill’s Witcher TV series won fans among gamers and non-gamers alike - but then Cavill departed, and follow-up Blood Origin went off the rails. On top of this, far too much of the show’s run-time was spent exploring plotlines unrelated to the Master Chief bashing the sinister alien Covenant - and left many fans cold. This was the first time the main character removed the helmet in the 20 years the game has been out - sparking fury among fans who have spent countless hours as Master Chief in the Halo video games. One reason is the show's creators tossed out source materials Halo (2022)Īdapting the blockbuster sci-fi series should have been a shoo-in for major success - after all, Halo itself feels distinctly film-like, with its universe-spanning plot and epic battles.īut the TV series made the cardinal error of messing with the source material - including making the unthinkable mistake of having Master Chief (played by Pablo Schrieber) who spends most of the show with his helmet off.
