Great bit of gaming history, thanks CVG Smile

Isn't this sort of Article a lot better than just about anything that has ever begun with "Industry anaylsts predict..."?

Those were the days, when all you needed was a bit of graph paper to create a classic franchise.

Hmmm. Needs more waggle commands.

@SilentBob: Indeed. Level 3 was in the shape of a swastika. Of course, the symbol has gotten a bad rap, thanks to certain individuals, but previously, it was a very innocent image.

On the actual art, this isn't "art" as much as it is memory management planning. People theorized about why the dungeons "fit" together, but the real reason is to optimize the game and the available space. That's right. Many of the dungeons occupy the same data constructs.
