I had started something along the lines of double dragon, and I still have it sitting here. I'm debating whether or not to pick it up again. When I was in Utah last year teaching a class, I had let someone play it and they were extremely impressed. Shrugs. I just don't know. I can never hold my interest on one project long enough.

Well, that would be a wonder. However, speaking of classics I am currently thinking of writing some of my own side scroller classics now that James has opened that can of worms. For instance how many of us loved NES games like Double Dragon or Legend of Kage. They would be easy enough to write, and were fun and simple to use. You had four movements like jump up, crouch, left and right, and the A and B buttons fired your weapons. Like swing bat, sword, roll barel, etc... I don't know if you remember Double Dragon but thugs would attack you with say a bat and you used your kick and punching skills to get the bat away and then proceeded to beat the crap out of the thugs. was great fun I asure you. Especially, when they dropped to the ground knocked out. In Legend of Kage you faught an relentless army of ninjas in the forest outside a castle. Then you went under this mote, jumped up these stone stairs while thugs attacked from above and behind. If you kicked the black ninjas butt you made it in to the castle proper and got to take on even more ninjas. Eventually you rescued the princess, but wait you have to finish off with the leader of this band. One thing about those games they were less about story and characters then all out kicking butt. allan thompson wrote: > Hi Thomas, > Thanks for the info.
