I don't know whether this has been mentioned before, but anyway... The very first time i found out about Exile was off a old Mac demo disc many years back, which had the unregistered versions of Exile 1 and 2 on it. However, when i downloaded Exile for my Windows computer, i noticed that all the graphics were much different from the ones on my Mac. The Mac ones seemed more 'cartoony', yet they seemed clearer and more appropriate, in a word 'better' than the ones currently avaliable for Windows download. Is this because of a difference in the operating system, or was it an older version of Exile? -------------------- Diplomacy is telling someone to "Go to Hell" in such a way, they look forward to taking the trip.

'Twas an older version. The older graphics are still available, here and there, if you know who to ask. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

There was an older version of exile with very different-looking graphics. They're available... uh... somewhere online. Or here. The list links are the links you want.

I think the older graphics were way better. The new ones just seem to look a little bit... strange -------------------- Diplomacy is telling someone to "Go to Hell" in such a way, they look forward to taking the trip. Posts: 16 | Registered: Tuesday, September 28 2004 07:00 |

I think the dark grey cave floor can be a bit displeasing to the eyes if you have to stare at it for long enough. -------------------- Lt. Sullust Cogito Ergo Sum Polaris Posts: 2462 | Registered: Wednesday, October 3 2001 07:00 |

Yippee! More graphics. :) I disagree that they're better though. The cartoony feel is good at times but the level of detail is greatly decreased and the sliths just look plain bad. (of course, it's hard to make a good slith in the first place) I prefer a minimal shading and depth in graphics. The ogre imo is really good.

I liked the new graphics a lot better. Even though even that blue-green cave floor can get old after a while. The white of BoE is even better. -------------------- -ben4808 Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |
