    Bumpmapping has been available for a very long time. The spinning donut demo that came with my Voodoo 2 card had it.

      That card launched the same year as Trespasser.

      That said, apparently the technique was one of those comically early 1970s innovations, introduced by James Blinn himself. Shows what I know.

        Dang, in my mind Trespasser was this ultra new game with revolutionary but flawed controls.

          Its reach exceeded its grasp. It’s waggly single-armed grasp.
