PC game ephemera

[brilokuloj]

I don't really know where else to put this but I want to share. I've always been enamored by all the crud that comes with PC games, especially kids games. Documents, icons, the images on the side of the installation wizard (I think there's a term for those?)

I'll start this out with an example:

Dinosaur Adventure 3-D Help

I realized I had a copy of this help page and that it was nowhere else on the internet, so I've archived it here.

I also recently ripped the midi music from 3D Dinosaur Adventure; I still need to go through it (duplicate files, gonna have to convert them to be listenable, etc)

I also have the help document for 3D Dinosaur Adventure (and its attached program, Art-A-Saurus, which I haven't gotten around to trying out) but it's a .HLP file and I couldn't find a Linux converter, only Windows ones. I might give it another go if there's interest

And if you can think of any PC games you'd like me to dig through, I'd have fun with that

Oooooh this is cool. I love this

3D Dinosaur Adventure OST

Been sitting on this one for long enough, my bad.

Now where this gets confusing is that these were all of the music files I was able to find any evidence of in the game's files, and there's really quite a lot of them, but they're mostly about 30-second jingles while there's an existing YouTube playlist made up of full-length songs that I mostly couldn't find. It's probably up to me to get to the bottom of this, but I only have so much time in the day, so I'm posting this weird little collection.

It's more of a program than a game, but I have the startup MIDI from the ancient and now free Garden with Insight program. bagner (not really that much) (plantstudio from the same site is decidedly more interesting as a very 90s 3d plant generator vs fairly dry gardening simulator)
