不知道现在的电脑会跑成咋样。。

今天的知识慢慢积累下来后，和回忆一对比，让我想起了这款游戏。。
现在才知道当时是99年。。
在念书，唯一的电脑知识游戏资讯来源就是每期必买的大众软件和电软，当然稍微深奥些的估计也是读不懂的，没基础。。

我记得那时3d加速卡已经蛮成熟了，但是这款游戏居然不支持，觉得极为奇葩~
记得当时编辑也说什么这款游戏的设计实在太落伍，太卡顿，其他游戏都支持加速就这不行。。。
（今天来看显卡危机对比它简直就是小case。。）

3d卡无用武之地全吃cpu，那个时候没有一台电脑跑得顺，反正那时买了d盘跑到配置最高的同学家里还是卡。。
由于对方家长不喜偶上门打游戏，所以草草看了画面就走了。。
再后只是d盘放到光驱里边听荡气回肠的音轨边写作业了。。

其实今天看来，不是落伍恐怕是过于超前了，从理念上来讲可能是超前了约20年。。

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outcast_(video_game)

Outcast's graphics engine is mainly a combination of a ray casting (heightmap) engine, used to render the landscape, and a texture mapping polygon engine used to render objects. The "Engine Programming" section of the credits in the manual has several subsections related to graphics, among them: "Landscape Engine", "Polygon Engine", "Water & Shadows Engine" and "Special effects Engine". Although Outcast is often cited as a forerunner of voxel technology,[3] this is somewhat misleading. The game does not actually model three-dimensional volumes of voxels. Instead, it models the ground as a surface, which may be seen as being made up of voxels. The ground is decorated with objects that are modeled using texturemapped polygons. When Outcast was developed, the term "voxel engine", when applied to computer games, commonly referred to a ray casting engine (for example the VoxelSpace engine). On the "Engine Technology" page of the game's website, the landscape engine is also referred to as the "Voxels engine". The engine is purely software-based; it does not rely on hardware-acceleration via a 3D graphics card.[4] Outcast features effects such as character shadows, depth of field, bump mapping and reflections. Anti-aliasing is used to smooth certain texture boundaries.

注意，那是99年。。
我记得就景深特效来讲，是到gf2年代才有游戏应用。。。。
虽说多年前的g400已经可以支持凹凸贴图，但实际游戏在gf2上也好像不敢大规模应用到。。。
