Legendary Finnish Computer Supremacy Thread
HELLO!

I am here to represent some of the Finnish computer culture cult classics and plain oddities that could not have been created anywhere else except in the dark woods of ours.

Here's a picture of a bear.



On your right you'll see probably one of the most famous demos ever, the Holy Grail of Assembly, Future Crew's 'Second Reality' from 1993.

But the real kicker is the making of video that quite nicely illustrates what kind of sacrifices (drinking orange juice from a carton, the clothing, oh the clothing and window drapes) brave Finnish programmers and musicians had to make to create such art in the dawn of personal computers and energy drinks. RESPECT!

And on your left you can see the a classic yet controversial cult video game classic 'Invataksi' ('Handicap Taxi') by Åkesoft.

Please note the detailed audio experience and configurable options and MS Paint bitmap art. Due to limited computing power, DX11 support was not available and the customers spoke (even through PC speaker if you choose so) the place they want to visit and it is your job as a handicap taxi driver to interpret their wishes and get the monies.

Stay tuned for the next episode!

Finns are proud of our northern lights, beating Swedes in ice-hockey, bears and naturally all cave-related action.

See the ultimate worm-on-worm-cave-deatchmatch-game-shooter that is Liero. For added tension in split-screen gaming attach a large piece of cardboard in the middle of the screen between the players.

Little did people know that in 1996 while Falcon 4.0 was still a wet spot on a sheet after a curiously heavy drinking the night before, the Finns already had a massive multiplayer super realistic military flight simulator running.

Co-developed with the state of the art Finnish Air Force to accurately simulate future airplane warfare ah the hell just watch the video
I was a fan of the Atari scene group Flame of Finland.
