Well now that the RAID data has been recovered, and a new one is up and running, we can get back to some of the regular programming around these parts. Seems with my ADD and jumping around between …| Ouch my eye!
Posts related to my efforts in reverse engineering the MicroProse .PIC file format used to store the visual assets for many of their PC/DOS based games in the late 1980's and early 1990's| 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!

After practically melting my brain figuring out the LZSS compressor over the past several days, it’s time to take a break from the PIC file format for a post or two, and focus in on another f…| 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!
