Thank you, Tom. When I posted this idea, I was expecting the worst. I expected to be flamed and criticized, but I'm pleased that you proved me wrong. Anyway, though, as a developer,I'm sure you're knowledgeable about the time it would take to take on such a project. I'm not a developer, so I'm clueless about such things. All I know is, more ideas have to be put in place. Take the dragon caves for example. You'd have to hear the dragon and the fire sound to know where he is, so that if you've got flower power, you can go and shoot him. Wouldn't it be nice Anyway, it would be nice if the game lacked those annoying things that shrink you once you've taken a mushroom. Anyway, though, I like what you were suggesting as far as the sounds for the mushroom. The same principle can be applied to flowers, free men, stars, vines, and whatnot. I wonder who'd develop this game. As far as I know, Nintendo hasn't released any updates to Mario, so it shouldn't be as complicated to manage as a Price is Right game. Jim could probably take this on, if he had the sound files or other tools.----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas Ward" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, June 07, 2006 4:34 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] new game idea
