Hi, Dave. I noticed in your previous email you liked Pitfall. Well, the original Montezuma's Revenge was very similar to Pitfall. My version of Monty attempts to follow the original closely as well as add a few new challenges such as if you get bitten by a spider you need a potion to heal yourself from the poison bites. I think it will make the game challenging. The other project Jedi Strike largely is mottled after the Jedi Knight series of games. Who knows when it will come to market, but as a developer I am attempting to recapture the games of yester year, but you have a good point agout new games on the par with sighted games. If I had to do it over again I would have made Final Conflict a real time multiplayer game where everybody can pick a ship of the 20 ships, and go to war. Perhaps you have 10 people, 5 would be Feds, and 5 would be say Romulans, Klingons, or Cardassians. Another possability you would be Klingons against Romulans, etc. Even without a Star Trek theme I can invision a massive multiplayer Lonewolf battle ship style game where people can pick to be a destroyer, submarine, battleship, and that would be truly awesome. The only catch is such games are huge, and probably would take forever to bring to market.
