What's this "black rain"?

I was just in the Library......my first time looking around....when I came upon this:

Is it a volley of arrows....or something else?

Should I be afraid?.......I'm playing Shoggy at present.

:eeeek:

looks like an abnormal amount of those funny geometric birds ('ambient fauna') to me...?

Was a glitch with some video cards I think.

They look like birds to me. But there are too many... a bug perhaps?

That is a Bingo.

At the time, I played Shogun with an on-board 8MB vidcard. The rain displayed as "black" streaks falling. Very eerie.

Oh man! My old screen shot! For me the black rain was a driver glitch with my Voodoo3 graphics card. As I recall, a later, unofficial driver corrected the rain to make it look right.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane Matrixman!

You're welcome!!

I found it all fascinating.:captain:

Ah...finally the truth....just as I suspected.

I was too polite to open the door to this terrible reality:scared:
