Wing Commander programmer waits until yesterday to unveil great story.
[quote name="Fussbett"]...in the comments section of a mediocre Gamasutra article: [quote]Ken Demarest 20 Aug 2009 at 8:50 am PST Back on Wing Commander 1 we were getting an exception from our EMM386 memory manager when we exited the game. We'd clear the screen and a single line would print out, something like "EMM386 Memory manager error. Blah blah blah." We had to ship ASAP. So I hex edited the error in the memory manager itself to read "Thank you for playing Wing Commander."[/quote] <a href="http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/4111/dirty_coding_tricks.php?page=1" target="sdgf">http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/4111/dirty_coding_tricks.php?page=1</a>[/quote]
