I bet "I like ya, Tweety!" reminded the elders of the classic Mars by Tim Clarke back from 1993. Move your mouse to get around. Beam me up, scotty!

i remember this thingie running smooth on my 386 back in 1993(?), which was a real knockout that time.

i doubt this was the most ripped routine around that days ;)

Wow. Running this on a 1GHz is... too fast. It's out of vsync and goes all choppy.

For once I'm glad my own computer is crappy, heh.

So famous !

I was incredibly impressed by this when I first saw it running on my 486SX 25MHz back in the day.

yeah, yeah - it was BOMB ;)

Oh yeah! That old cool 4kb intro with nice shaded voxels, sky, controllable with mouse, running at full in my 486!

This thing was years ahead of its time. Multiple thumbs up to that effort!

first 4k i'd seen ever... i still remember how smooth it runs on my 486... rulez!

Link doesnt work :(

Zplex: try http://www.elixir-studios.co.uk/nonflash/downloads/files/mars10.zip. Sweet 4K.

yeah that was amazing

I always wondered who this Tim Clarke was and if he was a demoscener after all?
Anyway the first sizecode with style I ever saw.
And still one of my all time faves.

yep, that was a bomb in its time.

I only get a freezeframe as in the screenshot under XP, even in DOSbox.. :-(

This simply rules. No more to say.

very scary back then!

anyone has this to upload to scene.org?

bestestest was back then. one of those alltime WTF effects.

Indeed. Would be cool to see it again.

this brings back some childhood memories. i think i was 10 or so when my bro showed this to me.

mars !!!

com !!!

yeah!

brilliant

\o/ MARSPAL.EXE doesnt seem to be in this archive tho...

Rulez

A classic!

Smooth... so smooth...

it's really 5k.. but that's unpacked. apack makes it 2605 bytes.. insane. don't forget, your mouse makes it move.

Stryx : Uhuh, and now move your mouse :)

What everyone else already said. Amazing!

\O/

The first real kick ass 4k on the PC.

Oh, and here is my 21 years late thumb up! lol You got to admit, impressive stuff for 1993.

Yep, this was quite impressive.

93 ruled!

I remember no mouse flyby version of Mars, it was released before this one, isn't it?

I think there was a later 4k with no mouse that seemed to have ripped or being inspired by this?

Very nice! I used this to download.

i remember being amazed by this. description is here: http://www.martinreddy.net/gfx/MarsInfo

For the music

oltschool

(y)

what a good old times

"Elevated? Pfft, we did it back in 1993."

I still remember how out of this world it was back then. Truly inspirational.

nothing else to say

classic.

Decades later and this still blows my mind.
