I'm surprised at how often I see adults rewatching Flight of the Navigator , even though it's very much a kid's movie. Harry and the Hendersons is particularly fun to watch now if you are a Poirot fan. Nostalgia tripping on the 1980s seems to rarely if ever include Max Headroom. To me, he was the essence of my high school zeitgeist. Maybe younger people today think he was too weird to have actually been a big deal. ( [VIDEO] )

Very well done! I like how it can exaggerate the height arbitrarily enough to make it really stand out. It would be cool to make the lines rotate and translate and scan around over the map like Max Headroom's background! [VIDEO] I wonder how you could go about implementing it as a high performance shader?
