I am still obsessively watching Computerphile videos. Recently, I saw a video on Sega game development in machine language. It was great. The conversation shifted to the hardware and software involved. The game was being coded in Windows 95 on a box from the 90's due to the need for the old style slots on the mother board.
I don't recall the specifics of the Sega box. It was a custom box, a Sega disk writer and some custom development box oslt. Which led to the question of how many people are playing the old Sega games, or developing them.
At this point in the video I started feeling a little better about my IntFiction game engine. I know I'm developing it for a niche adience, so it was nice to see someone else slaving away for a super niche audience as well.
It would be nice if I had more mainstream... profitable hobbies. But I don't. Eh. What can ya do.
