The Mystery of Black Panther Creek

The biggest mystery is how someone could look at this and think that it’s ready for prime time.

Why does the background image remind me so much of mid-90s DOS games?

The weird horizontal stripes through it, possibly? Makes it kinda look like someone took a picture of an old, poor-quality video game? (Or, grossly over-enlarged an under-rezzed image, which is the more-likely scenario.)

This, definitely this. A lot of side-scroller and adventure DOS games used low-res images (which of course resulted in aliasing and artifacting) as backdrops/backgrounds in order to allocate and save system resources properly.

I also think that the weird inner glow from the cover’s image reminds me of the shitty Dell CRT monitor I used to own. I’m quite happy with my current curved 144hz LED display!

So, where’s Huey Newton and Bobby Seale, then?
