I have a modified audio only version of mario brothers here, but can't
remember where got hold of it off hand, and honestly, I think it just has
extra audio sond effects added on, and doesn't work too well for me, but
anyway...
I suppose worms does sort of count as a form of platform game, but with a
bit more strategy added in, and, yes, was more or less thinking along the
lines of just a somewhat different version of an overview strategy game like
you sort of suggested, so let's see...
Stay well

Hi Jacob.
Fair enough on the smaller game basis, though I would expect once Toc is
multiplayer, that'll serve a similar need sinse you'll be able to just
play on a smaller map.
No disagreement about worms or lemmings being 2D, ---- they deffinately
were, as is Toc in fact, but where as Toc has what I'd think of as a top
down, ---- or (to use a less sight dependent expression, an overview),
sort of grid based interface, ---- rather the way games like civ or sim
city would, Worms and lemmings were more like 2D platformers, which, ----
as has been discussed recently with Tom, is another kettle of fish all
together as far as audio goes.
Maybe a point will come when having multiple objects on a 2D interface
like that becomes possible, ---- but sinse even a basic marrio brothers
style 2D interface hasn't been tried in audio yet, that's probably looking
a bit far ahead.
However, there would be no reason not to have a random game with a top
down interface like Toc, using any sort of weerdness you could imagine!
i did once here of a game called sim ant, in which players used a similar
interface and system to sim city (it was appparently the same company), to
controll an ant colony, complete with creating larvi, spawning, finding
food and beating off invasions of hostile ants or other insects, ---- so
such a thing is eminantly possible with that style of view.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
