Doom History Uncovered: DWANGO95 Dialog Boxes Extracted!

[OpenRift]

For the past 20 years and despite its crucial role in the evolution of online gaming, there as been very little visual documentation of any of DWANGO's clients aside from what appears on its wiki page, and what @fraggle uncovered in a long-lost reverse-engineering attempt of the DOS version.

 

A friend of mine on Discord recently extracted some of the dialogue boxes found in the Windows 95 client, and for archival purposes, you can find the rest of the dialog boxes through this link.

I believe that it's using the standard win95 font so if it isn't than the meme is inaccurate and I will be crucified later.

Heh, nice find. Was this even a thing outside the US? can't remember off the top of my head, I used to be a single player-only back in the day.

I actually remember looking inside the dialogs myself and talking about it on DOSBox Deathmatch Club back in 2020.
