Title: Looking for any interview or articles Regarding Paul Shirley ,Mission Genocide.
Post by: Puresox on 22:25, 25 December 16
Just watching Shadows Nose compare vid for 'Warhawk' Which compared favourably  surprisingly for a vertical shooter. Got me interested in looking at 'Mission Genocide' a superb vert Shum, Is the technique the same as MGenocide?  Had to go and watch Mission Genocide again and just blows me away what a great piece of work this was . Really would love to read up on any info related if poss . Just think of the Shumps we could have had of quality ,if the technigues had been exploited or understood and utilised by others.

scolling code is IDENTICAL in both I checked.

The technique is rupture. It seems Paul Shirley was the first as far as games are concerned. Not sure about demos.

Think N.W.C's Final Creation was the first (1988), iirc. or maybe Longshot made one before.
