Hi Thomas and all. Had a couple of interesting things happen in Monty B8 last evening when I had time to sit around and play a few games. Keep in mind these things have only happened once so they could have just been fluke things but I figured I oughta mention them anyhow. The first thing happened on the first vanishing platform on level 1. I went to jump Angela across, and rather than the metalic landing on the platform sound that I should have gotten it simply made the crumbling ledge sound as though I had managed to jump all the way across and that is in fact how it acted. The next thing happened when I went to kill the spider in the dark room on level 1, I will try to start remembering to check what room I am in when reporting these things, it is not a habit I am currently in. Anyhow when I went to swing the sword to kill the spider it made the first sound, guess it is the sword being drawn, then Angela got killed. I don't consider that a problem, I figure I just let the spider get too close before using the sword. But here's the interesting thing, after she got killed it went on and made the sound of the spider being killed. I thought it was really more funny than anything and you actually might want to leave it in, this was actually a behavior you could get in a lot of the classic old arcade games, if you killed the monster or ship or whatever, if it had already fired or done whatever bad thing it did to you and you didn't get out of the way you could still be killed, and of course the reverse could happen, if you had already taken your shot when you got hit you could still get the other guy after you were dead lol. Used to happen to me in Space Invaders and Asteroids all the time on the ol' Atari 2600.
Well that's enough from me for now. Tom -- . War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." -- John Stuart Mill --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.
