Ohh yeah, I'd forgotten about those. Man, I used to love the puzzles in
games magazine (probably still would if I still read it).

Ah, the wonderful ambiguities of the English language...
I actually meant "yes I have". ;-)

I suppose "never seen it" also means something else, then?

Like I say, I definitely recall seeing a similar landscape by the sea. I
just don't remember this particular image. Maybe it's one I didn't click
on to view full size. Maybe it was added after the last time I visited
the HoF. Who knows...

Duh - I've never even /seen/ this one before... and the IRTC archive (as
available through the current web page) only goes back to 1996 :-(

Well, was it really ultimately /proven/ that he didn't do it with
POV-Ray? :-P

Not one of his best works. The remake is much better /technically/, but
as for artistic and concept... Meh.

Ah! Seen that one. Not so easy to identify though.

Nice one! The idea dates back at least to 1986 though: After the
Chernobyl disaster, the famous German children/science TV show "Sendung
mit der Maus" ("The programme with the mouse") aired a full episode
dedicated to nucelar power, with the mouse-trap-and-ping-pong-balls
chain reaction demonstration being the highlight of the show.
I always believed the experiment was invented by the show's team, and I
/think/ I recall that they happened to have recorded & aired it even
earlier, though I may be mistaken on either or both. In any event, for
me it was the most impressive "Maus" episode ever, and ranks very high
among my childhood memories (although if they first aired it after
Chernobyl it must actually have been early teenage memories already).
Another POV-Ray shot I've never seen before. I'm sure I'd have
remembered & recognized /that/ one.

Hm...
...
"4 tines of a fork"
"4 (empty) gallon beer jugs"
"Cap holder end of a dry erase marker"
...
"Plastic forks in a box"
...
"Two eggs in carton"
...
"Green olive on a toothpick"
...
"Coin slot in nut dispenser"
...
"Plastic cups stacked up"
"A box of #2 pencils"
"Dental floss dispenser"
...
Doesn't seem too games-related to me ;-)

OK, well, about half are games. The ones that weren't I had a harder time
identifying, and I didn't peek.

I thought I'd mix it up a bit and throw in a few from the old IRTC page:
http://www.povray.org/competition/ . I figured this might be a nice bit
of nostalgia for some of the old time users.

I suppose he could have made in it POV then another website could have
stolen it from him shortly after he posted it :)

I sort of agree, but I included it because I thought it would be
interesting to have a very early work by Gilles Tran on there, and the
existence of a remake is what led me to this one.

I did not know that bit of history. That's rather interesting.

As I said, I can't say for sure whether they actually thought up that
demonstration, or got the idea from someone else. All I can say is that
they aired it shortly after the Chernobyl disaster (essentially to
explain to children what their parents were presently so worried about,
and why they wouldn't let them play outside), so that obviously must
have been in 1986.
