The Snowy Mountain
"The big thing about our art department was that they were all recruited on the basis of their fine art portfolios (...) We took artists and taught them how to use a computer. And that's why it's the quality it is, they are proper illustrators"

About Me
It was 1994 when I played Simon The Sorcerer for the first time. Being my first year in college, I was not that much older than Simon himself. After crossing the main gates of the citadel I was immediately hooked by the gorgeous forest and the perfect match with the game music. This game would become my favorite of all times. Seventeen years later in 2011, I came up with the idea of stitching some of these images into single, panoramic ones, revealing the artists' full vision for each location. You can finally appreciate the entire composition, the sense of scale, and the clever details hidden at the edges of the screen during normal gameplay. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. - RodCastler
