No, it reprograms the text mode, but sets video mode in a way that isn't VGA compatible, same a Digger.

Also CGA "composite" would be perfectly fine on a VGA card, since it's not a video mode, but an drawing method. Would just display the same way it would on any RGB monitor.

Because I've only played CD-ROM version of Flashback on DOS before I didn't know that a few other versions featured a pretty good CD Audio soundtrack, and not just terrible pre-rendered FMVs.
Here's the menu theme from the Sega CD version, a version with the *most* new music.

 Sun Jul 10 20:54:50 +0000 2022

Sega CD, 3DO, and CD-i versions of Flashback all use the same remixes of the few tunes the game had originally, but Sega CD adds in-game music.

CD-ROM Mac and DOS versions don't have CD audio.

But Flashback for Japanese computer FM Towns has its own unique CD remixes, & no FMV:

More Flashback trivia:
In the DOS version if you select AdLib/Sound Blaster as your music device, you get a short & sweet menu music loop, the same tune as in the Genesis or SNES version.
But if you pick MT-32 you get the longer variation, similar to Amiga and CD versions.

I've been using orthodox file managers for 30 years, so I never really have to relearn anything, and my skills just keep improving. They are great, and modern ones have plugins, and OS integration. Basically anything I can possibly want.

Meaning by swapping a few files around you could be playing as a dragon who rides humans, and the game will treat it as absolutely normal, and not break in any way. A nifty side effect of a rather unique non-hardcoded approach for those days in game programming.

As a Russian I can tell you a very important element you're missing:
Russian government assignments aren't about actually accomplishing a goal, they are about redistribution of that unlimited budget you've mentioned into pockets of people in charge.

Russia can't even make a decent drone, man. Sure, they COULD, but they don't. Nobody is interested in producing anything. They'll take the shortest possible path to something that can be called an engine, and make sure it costs billions on paper. This happens 10/10 times.

How's spending your days looking for tweets about Monkey Island to bitch about working out for ya, winner?

 Sun Jul 31 11:59:00 +0000 2022

Amazing! 😄

 Sun Jul 31 12:04:25 +0000 2022

Bruh, you deliberately dug up a four month old tweet. You can't high road me on anything. 😂

 Sun Jul 31 12:21:10 +0000 2022

Again, bruh, you don't get to high road me no matter how hard you try. And just repeating yourself definitely isn't gonna do it.

 Sun Jul 31 12:26:31 +0000 2022

"dO yOu KnoW yOu TWeeT a lOT?" Yeah, trust me, if anyone knows that, it's me. Well, me and people who choose to read it. But yeah, keep going. More stats on my tweets, please. Maybe the fourth time will be the one.

 Sun Jul 31 12:34:36 +0000 2022

Ah, I get it. You think if you repeat the same thing over and over something might eventually just change, like Monkey Island graphics or something. That's amazing. Keep going.

 Sun Jul 31 12:43:12 +0000 2022

How it How it's
started going

 Sun Jul 31 12:48:53 +0000 2022

I laughed so fucking hard at "your conduct," I think I woke my neighbours up. 🤣

 Sun Jul 31 12:50:05 +0000 2022

The guy specifically dug up a four month old tweet of mine, and when called out proceeded to give me stats about me tweeting more than an average person over and over in a futile attempt to high road me somehow. I've been laughing all morning. 😂

 Sun Jul 31 12:55:03 +0000 2022

Did you also say something about upcoming Monkey Island sequel FOUR MONTHS ago and just now received unsolicited feedback? 😂

 Sun Jul 31 12:56:25 +0000 2022

It's been a back and forth with this guy for an hour for me.

Softporn is indie though, right?

So.... is it not now?

 Sun Jul 31 19:32:56 +0000 2022

Sounds good. I guess that means that we're very clearly defining "indie" as the post mid-2000s thing when the term came to be and gained acceptance, although for some reason that feels a little weird.

I hope we all learned that SNES port of DOOM is good, actually. 🤷‍♂️

Have you tried SNES Wolfenstein 3D where the first episode is THREE levels long?

You can call it that, yes.
