That's it.

~~Most of you are WRONG. The right answer, Quake, is only 3rd by popularity. Congrats to those 28 people!~~

Proof: https://code.idtech.space/id/quake/src/branch/master/WinQuake/r_main.c#L155

And I, too, was wrong because the code above doesn't generate pink color. Quake with it's default palette can't provide pink. Half-Life 1 however, really made it pink by setting 255-th color in the palette pink before uploading it.

So the checkboard was made in Quake but Half-Lfie 1 made it pink.

On this occasion have #UnlockedMemories. Back in the olden days, in some games (not even sure if it was a few, but Return to Castle Wolfenstein for sure - it's on Q3, right?) - when you were hit by an enemy missile, textures would appear in the explosion cloud for a moment with... Console output. White text on a black background, rotated at a random angle.

I think it was some video card glitch, but it looked very interesting.

По этому поводу #РазблокированоВоспоминание. В стародавние времена в некоторых играх (даже не уверен, что в нескольких, но в Return to Castle Wolfenstein точно — она на Q3 же?) — когда в тебя попадала вражеская ракета, в облаке взрыва на мгновение появлялись текстуры с... Выводом консоли. Белый текст на черном фоне, повернутый под рандомным углом.

Думаю, это был какой-то глюк видеокарты, но смотрелось очень оригинально.
