I decided to take a brief interlude from the MicroProse PIC file format we have been reverse engineering over the last while. In this post we will look at another MicroProse file format, the SPC fi…| Ouch my eye!
We have some unfinished business to do in light of the discoveries we made last time. I now no longer trust my prior results with the RLE encoder, so we need to go back and revisit that result. Las…| Ouch my eye!

I’ve interrupting my planned post to make this one, as this potentially has an effect on that post. Yesterday after my post about additional titles went live, one of my readers, who wishes to…| Ouch my eye!
We last left off having uncovered a dew more mysteries of the MicroProse PIC file format. We wrote a tool to examine PIC files to try and determine which version of the file they were, after some r…| Ouch my eye!
This post is not what I thought it would end up being about. I had plans, but it seems fate, and the dark corners of my brain, had a different path set out for me. You see after I wrapped up my las…| Ouch my eye!
Maybe not rewriting it, but correcting our recording of it. In my last post we analyzed the assets for a large number of titles from MicroProse that expanded our understanding of the sub variants a…| Ouch my eye!
Several posts back we looked at some other MicroProse titles and discovered that the PIC file format has evolved over the years with various titles. In this post we’re going to look at a few …| Ouch my eye!
I may or may not have rage quit at the end of the last post. I had spent so much time debugging and getting it working only to have this one file break everything… again! It was late, I was tired, …| Ouch my eye!
Now that we have our decoding of the PIC images up to a well-defined point for F15-SE2, it’s time to look and see where else MicroProse has used this format. As we know from the DarkLands doc…| Ouch my eye!
