The company. Lady Ada rocks.

Apparently orange backglass art is the key to compensating for that LED temperature. 🤣

Technically, there was an advantage to space heater bulbs when you had a slow processor back in the old days. You could strobe them with a long duty cycle and they would still appear to be solid on.

I miss warm incandescents. I'll never change my games to LEDs if I can help it. There was a magic to that glow.

Is the purple GI also a thing or an artifact of the photo?

I recall we did have a "dotbox" apparatus which was a hacked up WPC system that could accept Dpaint frames and display them. I don't think it could do animations but I could be wrong.

They are VERY involved in the music community. Eugene's wife Sasha is responsible for that.

Sadly, we lost Lia Mortensen in 2023. She was the voice of the female genie.

Oh man you're in for a treat. Enjoy the rabbit hole.

Hank and Iggy! I love old wall games.

And this was written by one of the legends. See if you can guess who this is.
