The 80s and 90s had the perfect convergence of everything: technology so cutting edge that it was scarcely believable, but in a world which still had the anachronisms of the 1960s and 70s. Not just the trains themselves, but even the music in this "Computer Chronicles" segment gave me the chills. Another cool music snippet starts at the 18:54 mark.

Speaking of the old and the new, I've been working on my game in "Dreams" and made huge progress today, culminating in this. I'm working just as hard on the aesthetic as I am the mechanics: notice the limited resolution and scanlines, plus my choice in song for the area-- moody and hopefully shiver-inducing. I aimed for a surreal, cognitive-dissonance sensation with the giant sword-bearing mice too.
