ZX-Spectrum “imaginary” loading screens // These are new screens, but take into account the graphic lithography of the ZX-Spectrum. In the 1980s, such charger screens would probably have been a big hit.

The 256x192 pixel resolution was not arbitrarily colourable. To conserve memory, colour is stored separate from the pixel bitmap in a low resolution, 32×24 grid overlay, corresponding to the character cells. In practice, this means that all pixels of an 8x8 character block share one foreground colour and one background colour.

Tanks in games are wierd.

And I am basing this on memories and images of games I ised to play/observed. Now if you grew up with RTS games, particularly ones that have a military bent to them ala the Command & Conquer games.

For instance you have the Scorpion tank utilized by the Brotherhood of Nod in Tiberium Wars, its a cool little tank, but well... it doesn't really look like a conventional tank. The tank while evidently sloped feels like a giant target (not to mention the very visible cockpict), the entire rear is also rather exposed and strangely the base gun is on the upper corner side of the tank. Fluff wise apparently the design, along with a third tread I might add, is rather maneuverable and speed is its best defense, the entire purpose being hit-and-run but I dunno... I'd still have a well armored rear.

The GDI Predator tank, at a glance looks more practical and compartively it is... then you realize other than the gun is also on the side and the drivers view port is also in the turret. I'm sure there are many other flaws in both tanks (and the rest in the game) but I'm not that attentive and I'm just focusing on the base tanks. I'm not even gonna touch the base tanks of Red Alert 3.

The base tanks in the Generals games are alright, two of the three take inluence from RL tanks and the GLA tank is literally an antique with probably modernized engines to explain its speediness (The GLA love their jurry-rigging).

The Siege tank from the Starcraft series is hard for me to judge because well... its not just a tank, but also an artillary cannon. Overall in its tank form it feels alright, it goes boom boom.

Then we come to the Leman Russ tanks, now the Leman Russ tanks are subtle as bricks, are as blocky as bricks and hurt like a sack of bricks. Appearance wise they look reallly juicy targets but the amount of guns just the base variant of tank can have is rediculous. Not only does it have the main cannon on top, it also has a buolt in laser destroyer also for destroying other tanks but on its rediculously huge track thingies it can also mount more guns.... oh, and it has the one thing on its hull that for some reason (probably for RTS balance) most other tanks listed don't have; a pintle mounted machine gun (or a heavy bolter depending) which makes sense as tanks normally have support from other soldiers and vehicles in the Anti-infantry department..... slabs of moving steel they may be, but invulnerable they are not. I'd mention the Predator or Land Raider but I feel I'd be redundant?

Anywho this is just a random thing I feel like I had to point out and get off my chest.

Any of you find any tank or vehicle designs in games that you found are impractical or down and out wierd?
