[00:21] <grogbot_> [discord] <robertmegone> While I was looking at the DOS charset rendering for Personal Nightmare, I noticed something interesting about it.
[00:21] <grogbot_> [discord] <robertmegone> It dates back to at least 1983, appearing in the ZX Spectrum port of Escape from Pulsar 7, and it was reused across several of the Adventure Soft Spectrum titles. In Seas of Blood (1985), it appears in its original, unsqueezed form. However, by the time Blizzard Pass was released on Spectrum in 1986, the charset had been squeezed in exactly the same way it appears in Personal Nightmare.
[00:21] <grogbot_> [discord] <robertmegone> So the change clearly happened between those two releases. I still do not know what prompted the squeeze, maybe so the screen could accommodate more text.
