"PERSPECTIVE" from 3D Graphics Company/RIX SoftWorks, Inc. It's a program that I'm sure existed at some point; the sole evidence of it I've seen has been this screenshot (from a 1994 "GIFs Galore" compilation CD) and a single early-90s magazine blurb explaining that it would be soon available for purchase. Have not seen it preserved online anywhere.
Why am I so fixated on it? Knowing me, I'd probably goof around with it in DOSBox for 5 minutes and then be like "well that was ok." But thinking about the bigger picture part, this specific program is but a smaller thing in a wider issue of software preservation. Not just games, but workday applications, too. Seems like every other month I hear about some business or government who's still using some 30+ year old computer to handle their data, because it either continues to work just fine, or there hasn't been an adequate replacement for the software in those 30+ years. And what happens if the software they're using becomes corrupt and needs to be reinstalled? Or suppose they upgraded years ago, but suddenly need to access the old data and don't have the program anymore?
All this from a screenshot of a 3D bar chart, in a program that - if I could find it - I would immediately use to create a shitpost in and then forget exists again.
Archive.org and vetusware don't appear to have it, so it's possible this thing was never dumped, or never existed. I know there are other websites that focus solely on business software, but search engines suck right now, so the usual methods render zero results!
