wow, the PC port of Toy Story was done by one programmer who was not given the source code and only the SNES graphics. He had to play the game over and over to replicate it by observation. https://bsky.app/profile/mayoraponte.bsky.social/post/3ltnt2ksl7s2f #gamedev

@djlink@mastodon.gamedev.place he's not correct about the requirements for Earthworm Jim on PC unless he's talking about a different version from the one I played (and own.) This was the Windows 95 port released by Activision It also only needs a 486/33MHz system
