Mythic Project: Technosaurs are Go! (July 17, 2008)

It's time to go! Starting tomorrow morning members of the CIC staff and other volunteers will begin making their way to Virginia to help archive what remains of Origin Systems' data library. We will be updating throughout the next week to let everyone know how the mission is going - expect big things!

Thanks to the invaluable assistance of the Wing Commander community, "Team Technosaur" is primed and ready with working equipment and methods for reading everything from 3.5" diskettes to SyQuest removable hard drives. Good work, everyone - we'll be working for you!

That's great news! Can't wait to see all the hidden treasures :-)

One question - is it possible to get sharper and possibly highres pictures of the Kilrathi mask? I would need it as a texture for a 3D model. It would be also great to have a front and side view.

I hope that is not too much to ask for especially now that you are busy with revealing all that great stuff.

It wears the skull of its dead mother on its head. When it becomes lonesome, it is said to cry loudly.

Wanting to get those specific pictures is what got us into the project in the first place - count on them!

Interesting, let's see what you people find out.

Actually I have hopes for a copy of the Lost Vale expansions for Ultima 8 ~~~ (I can dream...)

Anyway, getting high resolution videos for wing commander 3 would be great too

good luck with it
