@robots Apple II DOS

Linux to left of me, Windows to the right, here I am stuck in the middle with DOS. ♫

The infamous 3D armadillo logo of Infogrames #DOSGaming

@polychrome It is strange. Just checked my releases (4 versions,) and all of them had the gradient.

The actual state of the in-game head can be seen on this slide from the game's postmortem

Screenshots from in-development version of Alone in the Dark made in April of 1992 for the French gaming press. The protagonist's head was mocked up using Deluxe Paint because the planned (and eventually abandoned) voxel face technology wasn't ready yet.

@onf Yes, that's exactly what I meant :)

Many other things clearly point to developers' first language not being English. Examples: LET instead of LEAVE, and ABANDON instead of QUIT.

WIP version of Alone in the Dark vs final release.
No background art yet, and image frame tag says "Cthulhu" instead of "In the Dark". Note the difference in text - "repo men" vs "receivers"
