Hi Tom.
with the eamon games remember you are talking about a system that existed on
the apple Ii in 1982, it's practically speaking as old as zcode but unlike
zcode never had a set interpreter (indeed even back in the 80's as I
understand it attempts to port eamon to dos were a little half

A computer is to me just a tool to do what I want with, and if windows 7
won't do what I want, it is a bad tool end of story.
This is exactly why I'm still on xp, since I've still! not had a good

yep, I remember that old road system, particularly since there were some
quite unique encounters, like the weerd green fellow with four arms who
you could spar with. Again, this is something I love in good if, having a

I plan to use xp till I can't.
the fact is even if xp stops being updated security updates of the

Unfortunately, what you say is true. When Sryth started out as a free
gamebook RPg adventure system I really enjoyed it because everything
seemed well balanced and you could progress without constantly

In many games donating is just that. In alteraeon for instance, while you
can! earn various bennifits like extra practices and storage space with
donations, none are bennifits you can't get elsehwhere in the game with

Hi Charls.
that is true, and was really my point about sryth. where as puppet
nightmares, core exiles, Alteraeon and lots of other donation games are
quite possible to progress far in without making a single donation, the same
is not true of sryth, which was precisely why I quit, indeed if
I disagree there tom, I found many adventures in Sryth, from runeskin to the
proving grounds that did! require far more donation gear than I had, which
is precisely why i quit myself.
BBeware the Grue!

From a developer standpoint, it can sometimes be really hard to know
when you've crossed the line into money grubbing, or if you've added
something bad. One of the reasons I've been so slow to add new things
to AA is that I'm constantly concerned that it'll cross the line, or
permanently damage

I agree, in the early days, indeed up until about 2006-07 Sryth was amazing,
and a similar game to that would be awsome! if I learnt programming that
would be what I would want to do myself.

Hi tom.
Agreed, though even an illogical or complex puzzle isn't quite so bad if
there is a limited parza.
In the game Thror's ring, you find an area where you cannot progreess, yet a
couple of rooms have suspicious looking flaws. If you examine the floors you
find a small hole. Earlier on
that is true tom.
In the famous pirate game Secret of Monkey island (there is a great script
on gamefaqs, I recommend reading it since it's hilarious!).
There was a rather amusing puzzle where you needed to break a prisoner out
of jail. The way you did this was to collect a mug of grog (a

Ah, well it depends on what stimulates you. For my part, if I've had a
really shitty day or have an anxiety attack as sometimes happens after a
