Hi Al, Yes, the wrestling game started out as a remake of the old Piledriver game for Dos, and obviously is still in active production. However, that is a good case in point.
The reason I began rewriting Piledriver is my new laptop is a 64-bit machine and Piledriver will not run on it because it is an old 16-bit Dos application. If there were several accessible wrestling games around I wouldn't have bothered, but there are just Piledriver and Wrestling League Manager which won't run on 64-bit Windows. So writing the wrestling game makes sense. With a game like Troopanum I have to ask, "where is the justification?" There is Alien Outback, Troopanum, Judgment Day, Dark Destroyer, and so on. Even if we lose Troopanum people can still buy Alien Outback or download Dark Destroyer from the USA Games site for free. So it is hard to justify rewriting Troopanum for free let alone charging for it. Cheers!
