It's a bird! It's a plane! ...no wait, it's actually a bird dropping egg bombs... Today on Ancient DOS Games, Gemini's taking a look at Stunt Island, a very unique hybrid of a flight simulator with a linear video editing suite, developed by the British team known as "The Assembly Line" and published through Disney in 1992. This is a well made program for the most part but it's a little tricky trying to figure out who the target market for it was, seeing that the two main aspects of the program, flying and video editing, are extremely different experiences which were not necessarily going to overlap with the interests of PC game players back then... though in a time well before video editing was something available at the consumer level there was a definite novelty factor in being able to work with such a thing! ------------------------------------------ Additional Information and Corrections: * For those of you wishing to grab a copy, here's a link to it over on GOG: https://www.gog.com/en/game/stunt_island/?pp=91dfde1d6e005e422f64a59776234f1f4c80b5e4 * Yeah, I messed up the transition for the "Episode 318" at the start of the video. Time wasn't on my side to get this video out on time so... whatever, it gets to crossfade instead of wipe for ONE video! :P ------------------------------------------ Pixelmusement Website: http://www.pixelships.com ADG on Pixelmusement: http://www.pixelships.com/adg Alphabetical Index of ADG Episodes: http://www.pixelships.com/adg/index2.html Kris' Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/kasick @Pixelmusement on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Pixelmusement ------------------------------------------ Chapters: 00:00 Title and Intro 02:31 Game Stats 04:15 Gameplay 08:03 Flight Model 15:35 Set Design 16:49 Video Editing 20:18 Comparison - Auto Edit 22:55 Comparison - My Edit 24:13 Overall 25:56 DOSBox Configuration 27:15 Credits
