CyberVGA
A downloadable game for Windows
CyberVGA
CyberVGA is a modular, retro-style 3D graphics engine built for MS-DOS and classic VGA Mode 13h (320×200, 256 colors). Inspired by the demoscene and the earliest PC game engines, CyberVGA recreates the look and feel of 90s 3D graphics — wireframes, neon palettes, and pixel-perfect rasterization.
Features
-
🖥️ Runs on MS-DOS (Borland C/C++ era authenticity)
-
🎨 Palette manipulation: color cycling, fades, pseudo-lighting
-
🔺 3D rendering: wireframes, filled triangles, backface culling
-
📂 Mesh loading: simple OBJ support (Cube and Sphere for now)
-
📐 Math core: trig tables, rotations, and perspective projection
-
⌨️ Keyboard input: arrow-keys to rotate objects
Why CyberVGA?
CyberVGA is more than an engine — it’s a tribute to the golden age of DOS graphics, when every pixel had to be pushed by hand and clever tricks made up for hardware limits. It blends authenticity with hackability, making it a perfect playground for retro coders, demoscene fans, and anyone curious about how 3D worked before GPUs.
Development
CyberVGA is in active development. Current builds focus on core rendering and palette effects, with future plans for texture mapping, shading, and more demoscene-style visuals.
