Hi Folks,
I found my copy of
DESTINATION MARS
Version 2.1
Copyright 1990, 91, 93 by Richard L. De Steno
20 Meadowbrook Road
Short Hills, New Jersey  07078
Phone:  201-379-7471
Copying of this program is prohibited except

   * INSTRUCTIONS FOR DESTINATION MARS *
by Richard L. De Steno
Destination Mars is a game that presents you with the challenge
of
successfully travelling from Earth to Mars.  You must avoid such
dangers as
excessive damage to your ship, running out of fuel, being vaporized
by space
aliens, crashing your ship, and others.
You begin the game by placing the game diskette in your default
drive and
entering the word MARS.  After the opening announcement, you will be
asked if
you want sound effects.  Simply press the letter Y if you do want
sound effects
or the letter N if you would rather play the game without sound
effects.  Do
not press the ENTER key at any time in the game after making a
choice that asks
for a letter.  However, number entries do require a press of the
ENTER key.
Next, you are instructed to press the letter B to blast off.  If you
blast off
successfully, you will begin the thirty five million mile trip to
Mars.
You travel by spinning the cosmic wheel, which is done by pressing
the
ENTER key.  This produces a number from 1 to 10.  Your ship then
travels two
hundred thousand miles times this number.  For example, if you spin
a 6,
you
travel one million, two hundred thousand miles toward Mars on that
spin of the
wheel.  Press S at the cosmic wheel prompt to toggle sound on and off.
Each spin of the cosmic wheel presents you with a situation.
Most of the
situations require you to make a choice.  You will be prompted in
such cases
to press A - B - E - F - R - N or H.  These options mean the
following:
 A is for accelerating -
 B is to use your force field barrier -
 E is for taking evasive action -
 F is for firing your phasers -
 R is for making repairs -
 N is for taking no action.
 H is to get help if you forget these definitions.
You may exit the game whenever you are directed to spin the
cosmic wheel,
simply press the ESCAPE key or CTRL-C.  You may also exit at any of
the
preliminary prompts at the beginning of the program.
Most of the prompts in the game are self-explanatory and need no
elaboration.  There are numerous ways that you may be prevented from
reaching Mars.  You undoubtedly will experience them as you attempt
to reach
your destination.  There are some surprises in store for you in this
regard.
Note that you use ten units of fuel with each spin of the cosmic
wheel.
Also, keep in mind that each instance of damage to your ship must be
repaired.
If you go too fast, you may enter a time warp.  Here is a hint:
the
astute player will escape the time warp on the first attempt.
You may freeze the game at the prompt to spin the cosmic wheel by
pressing F and entering a file name.  To resume the frozen game, enter
the file name with MARS, like this:  MARS FILENAME.

There are other programs available from Richard De Steno.  Check the

[Audyssey] Luminal, the latest version impressions.

2011-05-13 Thread Christopher Bartlett

Ok, I beat the second quest.  (Hint, there is a nicety of timing when to
introduce your turtles)  Now I'm on to the third, which is proving equally
provoking and addictive, but there are still some niggles.

 

Why can't I destroy rocks?  Rocks do not have a destroy option.

 

Why can't I destroy piranha?  Yes, I tried out the piranha and at one point
was low on power but wanted to rid myself of a few of the pesky things, but,
while destroy is presented as an option for the p command, hitting
shift-delete doesn't destroy one.

 

On the subject of piranha, I think these boys may be a little unbalanced.
In my current game, I have 1,295 of  the bloody things.  Their die-off rate
seems a bit low and they're not reacting to available food supply (or lack
thereof) as expected.  I have no fish and no aquatic bugs left, only a
couple of turtles and some assorted land critters.  They aren't killing off
the land critters, so I don't know how they're surviving the sterilized
waters they currently inhabit.  Neat idea, but you may want to rebalance
them.  With both kaymans and turtles in the water, I'd have expected the
population to stay a bit more in control.

 

And sadly, Jaws 12 doesn't work with the game, or at least it doesn't on my
machine.

 

By the way, when you have 1300 piranha, the game slows down to a crawl, then
freezes completely.  I had to exit via the task manager.  As I've saved
along the way, I may now be screwed.  I don't know if this is a speech delay
thing, or I've just managed to choke my machine.  If it's the latter, then
about three more ticks would have killed anybody, as I'd have 3,000 or more
piranha.

 

Ok, the amount of feedback I'm giving you now rivals David Greenwood.  Be
honored sir.

 

Chris

Re: [Audyssey] Destenation mars

Indeed tom, that was rather ridiculous, especially considdering neither the 
original game nor the remake were accessible (in fact the old retroremake I 
found of it a couple of years ago appeared to go missing too, I wonder if 
the same thing happened).


While their are a few cases of companies and people who want their work out 
there and played, eg, the creator of turrican who actually not only gave 
permission for the games' name, graphics, music and other aspects to be used 
in remakes, but also allowed the originals to be redistributed, and the 
author of fallthru, these are rare cases and usually as you said the company 
will scream and shout while doing nothing to get the game out to people who 
may stil want to play it.


What is almost worse though, is often the company simply want the name, so 
that they can produce a game later on with the old game name as a draw.


Take golden axe. The original is a classic and no mistake, however there 
have been several really quite awful games bought out under the golden axe 
name supposedly as part of the series.


For instance Golden axe the duel, a very bad quality one on one beat em up 
on the Sega Saturn console, and more recently, a game on the xbox which is 
of all things a 3D beast riding affair that plays almost like a racing or 
vehicle game and is by report really not good either.
Though this really doesn't happen in terms of accessible games sinse there 
are so few around, and maybe it'd be worth trying to contact this chap to 
ask about the games' status.

Beware the grue!

Dark.

Re: [Audyssey] Luminal, the latest version impressions.

Chris, I was quite suprised when you started talking about the piranha!  
Apparently you found a bug, because piranha aren't supposed to be available for 
purchase until the next update that I haven't released yet.  They are supposed 
to first show up in mission 7.  I've checked the code and I believe I've fixed 
the bug, but there really isn't much of a reason for me to post the patch yet, 
because I'm close to releasing mission 7 anyways.

The reason you're having all of those problems with the piranha, is because 
they weren't done being coded yet, in the version you're using.  Since I 
believed they couldn't be purchased, that wouldn't normally have been a 
problem.  On the next update, the code for them is finished, and they behave as 
I intend for them to.  So I guess that explains why it slowed down, and even 
froze your machine.

For everyone else, if you're using version 1.5b, and you experience this same 
bug which allows you to buy piranha, I'd recommend that you don't simply 
because you aren't supposed to be able to buy them until mission 7.

I'm still working on JAWS 12 support.  JAWS has proved to be especially tricky 
compared to NVDA and Window eyes.

Hey, Dark.
I agree with you.  In some cases people just want to play these old dos 
games because like myself I use to play them in school.
I myself just want to play these old games and not remake or change 
anything.  What will happen if nobody can get a hold of these different 
people to ask about their games?  It would be greatly sad if people can 
still play some of these games and yet the people who have the games 
won't pass them out to people like me who just want to play them.

[Audyssey] I killed luminals

2011-05-13 Thread Christopher Bartlett

Ok, by playing one tick at a time, I was able to play until I blew up the
game.  At that point, I had amassed 8,932 piranha.  I attempted to purchase
a kayman with my ill-gotten advertising loot and the game crashed.  I have
sent the game save file to Jeremy directly (let me know if you don't get it,
I was going by memory for your email address).  At that point, each tick was
taking upwards of 30 seconds to process, and movement from tile to tile was
similarly choked.

 

I think I can fairly say that piranha are broken.

 

Actually, I wonder if it's an artifact of the fact that animals don't appear
to have a life span?  That is, they only appear to die when eaten or when
they starve.  In an earlier mission, I had one turtle for multiple thousands
of ticks while I raised money to buy another one and messed with controlling
the fish population.  There probably ought to be a chance of the creature
dying of natural causes that varies with the creature.  The small ones
should have shorter life spans.  I know this forces you to deal with
absolute time, but it's the only way I can see around the population
bottle-neck, unless there's just something you didn't do with piranhas that
you did with other creatures.  Maybe have a percent chance of death that is
influenced by available food supply.  As the supply vs. the demand goes
down, increase the chance of a given individual dying.

Re: [Audyssey] Harry Potter Trivia 2

2011-05-13 Thread Jim Kitchen

Hi,

Here is a message that I received from Alan.

- Original Message -
Hi Jim,

I wanted to verify my facts about Harry Potter trivia 2. In chapter32 Flesh,
Blood, and Bone, It is not specifically named who kills Sedaric. The
implication is that it had to be Worm-Tail. What I went by was J K Rowling's
own words in Chapter37, The Beginning. Dumbledore is addressing the student
body and states that a toast is to be drunk to Sederick Digory. The student
body stands and echoes Sederick Digory. Dumbledore goes on to explain,
Sederick was a person
who exemplified many of the qualities that distinguish Hufflepuf house. Dumbledore continued. He was a good and loyal friend, a hard worker. He valued fair play. His death has effected you whether you knew him well or not. I think that you have the right therefore, to know exactly how it came about. Harry raised his head and stared at Dumbledore. Sederick Digory was murdered by Lord Voldimort. A panic whisper swept the great hall. People were staring at Dumbledore in disbelief. In horror. He looked perfectly calm is he watched them mutter themselves into silence. The ministry of magic, Dumbledore continued, does not wish me to tell you this. It is possible that some of your parents will be horrified that I have done so Either because they will not believe Voldimort has returned or, because they think I should not tell you so young as you are. It is my belief however, that the truth is generally preferable to lies and that any attempt to pretend that Sederick died as the result of an accident or some sort of blunder of his own, is an insult to his memory. For that reason, I went with voldimort killed Sederick as it does not clearly say that it was Worm-Tail but only implied.

Hi,

Here is a message that I received from Alan.

Hi Jim,

I wanted to verify my facts about Harry Potter trivia 2.  In chapter32 
Flesh, Blood, and Bone, It is not specifically named who kills Sedaric. 
The implication is that it had to be Worm-Tail.  What I went by was J K 
Rowling's own words in Chapter37, The Beginning.  Dumbledore is addressing 
the student body and states   that a toast is to be drunk to Sederick 
Digory.  The student body stands and echoes Sederick Digory.  Dumbledore 
goes on to explain, Sederick  was a person
who exemplified many of the qualities that distinguish Hufflepuf house. 
Dumbledore continued. He was a good and loyal friend, a hard worker.  He 
valued fair play.  His death has effected you  whether you knew him well 
or not.  I think that you have the right therefore, to know exactly how it 
came about. Harry raised his head and stared at Dumbledore. Sederick 
Digory was murdered by Lord Voldimort. A panic whisper swept the great 
hall.  People were staring at Dumbledore in disbelief.  In horror. He 
looked perfectly calm is he watched them mutter themselves into silence. 
The ministry of magic, Dumbledore continued, does not wish me to tell you 
this.  It is possible that some of your parents will be horrified that I 
have done so  Either because they will not believe Voldimort has returned 
or, because  they think I should not tell you so young as you are.  It is 
my belief however, that the truth is generally  preferable to lies and 
that any attempt to  pretend that Sederick died as the result of an 
accident or some sort of blunder of his own, is an insult to his memory. 
For that reason, I went with voldimort killed Sederick as it does not 
clearly say that it was Worm-Tail but only implied.

Re: [Audyssey] Harry Potter Trivia 2


Well I think this one is a litle contentious really.

Myself, I'd assumed killed meant did the deed, rather than gave the order.

While I see the point, to me Dumbledor was really just trying to make the 
point about voldemort's return, and yes in truth if voldemort hadn't been 
there sedric would've died,  but in terms of the facts, I'd class it as 
petigrew, certainly if petigrew were on trial for the murder him having 
actually done the killing would be the telling fact, not who's orders he 
worked on or who's wand he used.


I'd actually suggest Alan take petigrew out of the list of possible choices 
for that question if he wants voldemort to be the right answer, sinse it 
seems extremely unfair to mark people down for giving an answer which many 
would considder correct.


Alternately, he could ask who according to professor dumbledor killed 
Sedric which would specifically indicate to those who read the books what 
he was refering to, though myself I'd just prefer petigrew removed from that 
question choice.


Beware the grue!

 Hi Folks,
 I found my copy of
 DESTINATION MARS
 Version 2.1
 Copyright 1990, 91, 93 by Richard L. De Steno
 20 Meadowbrook Road
 Short Hills, New Jersey  07078
 Phone:  201-379-7471
 Copying of this program is prohibited except
 for the personal use of the purchaser!
* INSTRUCTIONS FOR DESTINATION MARS *
 by Richard L. De Steno
 Destination Mars is a game that presents you with the challenge
 of
 successfully travelling from Earth to Mars.  You must avoid such
 dangers as
 excessive damage to your ship, running out of fuel, being vaporized
 by space
 aliens, crashing your ship, and others.
 You begin the game by placing the game diskette in your default
 drive and
 entering the word MARS.  After the opening announcement, you will be
 asked if
 you want sound effects.  Simply press the letter Y if you do want
 sound effects
 or the letter N if you would rather play the game without sound
 effects.  Do
 not press the ENTER key at any time in the game after making a
 choice that asks
 for a letter.  However, number entries do require a press of the
 ENTER key.
 Next, you are instructed to press the letter B to blast off.  If you
 blast off
 successfully, you will begin the thirty five million mile trip to
 Mars.
 You travel by spinning the cosmic wheel, which is done by pressing
 the
 ENTER key.  This produces a number from 1 to 10.  Your ship then
 travels two
 hundred thousand miles times this number.  For example, if you spin
 a 6,
 you
 travel one million, two hundred thousand miles toward Mars on that
 spin of the
 wheel.  Press S at the cosmic wheel prompt to toggle sound on and off.
 Each spin of the cosmic wheel presents you with a situation.
 Most of the
 situations require you to make a choice.  You will be prompted in
 such cases
 to press A - B - E - F - R - N or H.  These options mean the
 following:
  A is for accelerating -
  B is to use your force field barrier -
  E is for taking evasive action -
  F is for firing your phasers -
  R is for making repairs -
  N is for taking no action.
  H is to get help if you forget these definitions.
 You may exit the game whenever you are directed to spin the
 cosmic wheel,
 simply press the ESCAPE key or CTRL-C.  You may also exit at any of
 the
 preliminary prompts at the beginning of the program.
 Most of the prompts in the game are self-explanatory and need no
 elaboration.  There are numerous ways that you may be prevented from
 reaching Mars.  You undoubtedly will experience them as you attempt
 to reach
 your destination.  There are some surprises in store for you in this
 regard.
 Note that you use ten units of fuel with each spin of the cosmic
 wheel.
 Also, keep in mind that each instance of damage to your ship must be
 repaired.
 If you go too fast, you may enter a time warp.  Here is a hint:
 the
 astute player will escape the time warp on the first attempt.
 You may freeze the game at the prompt to spin the cosmic wheel by
 pressing F and entering a file name.  To resume the frozen game, enter
 the file name with MARS, like this:  MARS FILENAME.

 There are other programs available from Richard De Steno.  Check the
 README.DOC file provided with this program, or contact him for info

No, I think Richard allowed version one of Destination Mars to be put up 
as a free demo so people would buy version two.
Unless I get a confirmation directly from Richard that his games can be

Re: [Audyssey] Harry Potter Trivia 2


This text from Chapter 9 of the book shows the answer, in my opinion:

someone's coming, he said suddenly.

Squinting tensely through the darkness, they watched the figure drawing 
nearer, walking steadily toward them between the graves.  Harry couldn't 
make out a face, but from the way it was walking and holding its arms, he 
could tell that it was carrying something.  Whoever it was, he was short, 
and wearing a hooded cloak pulled up over his head to obscure his face. 
And--several paces nearer, the gap between them closing all the time--Harry 
saw that the thing in the person's arms looked like a baby . . . or was it 
merely a bundle of robes?


Harry lowered his wand slightly and glanced sideways at Cedric.  Cedric shot 
him a quizzical look.  They both turned back to watch the approaching 
figure.


It stopped beside a towering marble headstone, only six feet from them.  For 
a second, Harry and Cedric and the short figure simply looked at one 
another.


And then without warning, Harry's scar exploded with pain.  It was pain such 
as he had never felt in all his life; his wand slipped from his fingers as 
he put his hands over his face; his knees buckled; he was on the ground and 
he could see nothing at all; his head was about to split open.


From far away, above his head, he heard a high, cold voice say, Kill the 

spare.

A swishing noise and a second voice, which screeched the words to the night; 
Avada Kedavra!


Now, this shows clearly who gave the command.  Voldemort had a high cold 
voice.  Wormtail, his servant, was carrying him because Voldemort was still 
in a very weak condition.  Wormtail was the short figure that Harry and 
Cedric were seeing, carrying Voldemort.  Voldemort told Petigrew to Kill 
the spare.  Wormtail then screeched the command and performed the curse 
that killed Cedric.  Based on the text from the book, it is not implied as 
to who actually killed Cedric.  It is clearly stated.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Harry Potter Trivia 2



This text from Chapter 9 of the book shows the answer, in my opinion:

someone's coming, he said suddenly.

Squinting tensely through the darkness, they watched the figure drawing 
nearer, walking steadily toward them between the graves.  Harry couldn't 
make out a face, but from the way it was walking and holding its arms, he 
could tell that it was carrying something.  Whoever it was, he was short, 
and wearing a hooded cloak pulled up over his head to obscure his face. 
And--several paces nearer, the gap between them closing all the 
time--Harry saw that the thing in the person's arms looked like a baby . . 
. or was it merely a bundle of robes?


Harry lowered his wand slightly and glanced sideways at Cedric.  Cedric 
shot him a quizzical look.  They both turned back to watch the approaching 
figure.


It stopped beside a towering marble headstone, only six feet from them. 
For a second, Harry and Cedric and the short figure simply looked at one 
another.


And then without warning, Harry's scar exploded with pain.  It was pain 
such as he had never felt in all his life; his wand slipped from his 
fingers as he put his hands over his face; his knees buckled; he was on 
the ground and he could see nothing at all; his head was about to split 
open.


From far away, above his head, he heard a high, cold voice say, Kill the 
spare.


A swishing noise and a second voice, which screeched the words to the 
night; Avada Kedavra!


Now, this shows clearly who gave the command.  Voldemort had a high cold 
voice.  Wormtail, his servant, was carrying him because Voldemort was 
still in a very weak condition.  Wormtail was the short figure that Harry 
and Cedric were seeing, carrying Voldemort.  Voldemort told Petigrew to 
Kill the spare.  Wormtail then screeched the command and performed the 
curse that killed Cedric.  Based on the text from the book, it is not 
implied as to who actually killed Cedric.  It is clearly stated.

Well I think this one is a litle contentious really.

Myself, I'd assumed killed meant did the deed, rather than gave the 
order.


While I see the point, to me Dumbledor was really just trying to make the 
point about voldemort's return, and yes in truth if voldemort hadn't been 
there sedric would've died,  but in terms of the facts, I'd class it 
as petigrew, certainly if petigrew were on trial for the murder him 
having actually done the killing would be the telling fact, not who's 
orders he worked on or who's wand he used.


I'd actually suggest Alan take petigrew out of the list of possible 
choices for that question if he wants voldemort to be the right answer, 
sinse it seems extremely unfair to mark people down for giving an answer 
which many would considder correct.


Alternately, he could ask who according to professor dumbledor killed 
Sedric which would specifically indicate to those who read the books

Re: [Audyssey] I killed luminals

For anyone who missed the other post about piranha, I'll mention it here also.  
The reason Chris ran into such crazy results with the piranha is that they 
aren't supposed to be unlocked in version 1.5b.  A glitch allows them to be 
purchased, but in that version I hadn't finished programming them.  Piranha 
aren't supposed to be buyable until the next update I release, which has 
mission 7.

 Ok, by playing one tick at a time, I
 was able to play until I blew up the
 game.  At that point, I had amassed 8,932
 piranha.  I attempted to purchase
 a kayman with my ill-gotten advertising loot and the game
 crashed.  I have
 sent the game save file to Jeremy directly (let me know if
 you don't get it,
 I was going by memory for your email address).  At
 that point, each tick was
 taking upwards of 30 seconds to process, and movement from
 tile to tile was
 similarly choked.
 
  
 
 I think I can fairly say that piranha are broken.
 
  
 
 Actually, I wonder if it's an artifact of the fact that
 animals don't appear
 to have a life span?  That is, they only appear to die
 when eaten or when
 they starve.  In an earlier mission, I had one turtle
 for multiple thousands
 of ticks while I raised money to buy another one and messed
 with controlling
 the fish population.  There probably ought to be a
 chance of the creature
 dying of natural causes that varies with the
 creature.  The small ones
 should have shorter life spans.  I know this forces
 you to deal with
 absolute time, but it's the only way I can see around the
 population
 bottle-neck, unless there's just something you didn't do
 with piranhas that
 you did with other creatures.  Maybe have a percent
 chance of death that is
 influenced by available food supply.  As the supply
 vs. the demand goes
 down, increase the chance of a given individual dying.

 Chris, I was quite suprised when you started talking about
 the piranha!
 Apparently you found a bug, because piranha aren't supposed
 to be available
 for purchase until the next update that I haven't released
 yet.  They are
 supposed to first show up in mission 7.  I've checked
 the code and I believe
 I've fixed the bug, but there really isn't much of a reason
 for me to post
 the patch yet, because I'm close to releasing mission 7
 anyways.

 The reason you're having all of those problems with the
 piranha, is because
 they weren't done being coded yet, in the version you're
 using.  Since I
 believed they couldn't be purchased, that wouldn't normally
 have been a
 problem.  On the next update, the code for them is
 finished, and they behave
 as I intend for them to.  So I guess that explains why
 it slowed down, and
 even froze your machine.

 For everyone else, if you're using version 1.5b, and you
 experience this
 same bug which allows you to buy piranha, I'd recommend
 that you don't
 simply because you aren't supposed to be able to buy them
 until mission 7.

 I'm still working on JAWS 12 support.  JAWS has proved
 to be especially
 tricky compared to NVDA and Window eyes.

Re: [Audyssey] Star Wars Game Thoughts/Ideas

2011-05-13 Thread Thomas Ward

Hi Dark,

Lol! That's a great idea except you forgot the part about selecting a
Packman character. You should be able to select Mr. Packman, Ms.
Packman, or Packman Jr. :D

Anyway, I know there are still some games you can pick up and play
like the new Final Fight, but my point was that the MMO/RPG style of
games are increasingly becoming more popular. Take DC Universe as an
example. It is a massively huge game with several cities like
Metropolis, Gotham, and so on with several adventures, and of course
online pvp play. It just seems to me that games are becoming more
player vs player interactive, and heading to a total virtual reality
state where you can pick a character weather it is Star Wars, DC
Comics, or whatever and roll play him/her on the internet with other
like-minded players. The MMO/RPG genre/style of game is changing the
way we think of video games in general and are light years beyond the
games like Packman which started the video game craze 30 years ago. As
a game developer myself I often want to push myself to try and compete
or at least see if I can create something similar. I see it as a
challenge of my skills and talents as a programmer.

Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Star Wars Game Thoughts/Ideas


Actually tom personally I don't particularly have any interest in pvp.

The modern rpg games that I'd most like to play are things like Dragon age, 
the dragonlance series, and yes final fantasy, those which are not based on 
some sort of online pvp interaction with other people, but are based on 
having a large virtual world with a huge amount of stuff to explore and 
interact with as a single player.


Personally this has always been my main interest in games, single player 
exploration, rather than competing or rping with others.


while in the world of brouser based games and muds it's pretty hard to find 
something which is a decent single player game, there are stil many games on 
consoles which would be perfect for this if I were able to play them,   
in fact some of the knights of the old republic games are very good 
examples.


So, I'd personally prefer it if developers made good single player games, 
rather than concentrating on pvp and interaction with others, especially in 
the rpg genre where sinse most accessible games of this type are muds or 
brouser based affairs, there really isn't much single player stuff 
available.


Beware the gRue!

game play recordings and walkthroughs etc. You have moderated the list with 
a firm but fair approach and the list has been relatively calm despite a few

All I can say is, on behalf of myself and the list, we wish you every 
happiness in all that you do in the future. We wish you well with your job, 
warmest regards to your family and the best of luck with any new challenges 
you decide to face.
In my new position as list moderator I sincerely hope that Thomas and I can 
cooperate alongside each other harmoniously as you have and thereby keep the 
list running as smoothly as possible.

I know my speech wasn't very long or dramatic, but it came from my heart.
Do try to find time to play at least a few games. I'm sure you remember how

Stay well and all the best,

wonderful list when I'm not doing much in the way of gaming.


However if anyone wants to communicate with me off list about anything, 
feel free to do so.


happy gaming.

Re: [Audyssey] Star Wars Game Thoughts/Ideas

2011-05-13 Thread Thomas Ward

Hi Phil,

Right. I certainly understand your point of view. Sadly this is yet
again another clear example of how far we have to go to catch up with
the mainstream in terms of gaming. You certainly have a valid point,
but as I said since I've been there and done that already, so to
speak, its less apealing to me than starting out fresh with new
characters, a new back story, etc. I guess what I mean by that is when
I see a new series like Star Wars the Old Republic I want to jump
right in with the current stuff rather than going back and revisiting
the classic Star Wars series.

For instance, last year Dark Horse comics began publishing a new Star
Wars series called Star Wars the Old Republic set between 3,600 and
3,700 years before the Star Wars classic series, and they introduced a
new heroine named Setele Shan. Setele Shan is to the Old Republic
series what Luke Skywalker is to the classic series. She is a Jedi
Knight, supposably a descendeant of two great Jedis of the Knights of
the Old Republic series, and is the main protagonist of the new
series. It starts out in Blood of the Empire with the Sith Empire and
the Mandalorians joining forces to invade the Galactic Republic. Newly
promoted Jedi Knight, Setele Shan, is sent to the frontlines to help
battle and stop the enemy forces. Eventually, her nemesis, Darth
Malgus, launches a strike at the heart of the Republic by invading
Alderan. Setele Shan shows up just in time to defeat Malgus, and and
the Republic manages to force the Sith back to the Outer Rim systems.
Where upon Setele Shan is promoted to the rank of master, and earns a
seat on the Jedi High Council. In 36,53 the Sith Empire decides to
make piece with the Republic and Setele Shan is sent by the Jedi High
Council as one of their chief diplomats. In the years following the
Galactic War Setele Shan eventually becomes a Jedi Grand Master and
the head of the Jedi High Council. Basically, the same position Yoda
would hold in the Clone Wars series and Luke Skywalker would hold in
the New Jedi Order series.

What I'm saying is that the new series is really fresh. Setele Shan is
now in comic books, starting to appear in novels like Deceived and
Fatal Alliance, is suppose to be one of the main npc characters in the
new Old Republic game from Bioware, and I've heard that Hazbro is
going to be launching an all new 2011 line up of action figures like
Darth Malgus, Setele Shan, Aryn Leneer, etc from the new comics and
games. Its not that using someone like Setele Shan in a game is
totally unknown, but very very new. However, you are absolutely right
that using someone like Setele Shan instead of someone like Luke
Skywalker could lead to a lot of questions about the main character,
the Sith Empire, and other elements of the game's story since not
everyone is a life long Star Wars fan like I am and don't keep up with
the latest news and information.

Anyway, when I said I was leaning against using Luke Skywalker and
other big name main characters like that I did not mean to imply that
I could never or would never use those characters in a Star Wars game.
After all, now that I have a game engine I could probably produce
several different Star Wars games set in different time periods using
different characters. Its just that right now my personal interests
are with the new stuff, and I'd like to experience the same things
that my fellow mainstream gamers have accesss to like the Star Wars
Old Republic series of games that are just now coming onto the market.
Since I was sighted when the Super Star Wars games came out back in
the early 90's etc that's pretty much old news to me. That doesn't
mean I don't like them and have no interest in creating something like
that it just feels like spending my time on something I've already
played before when I want to experience something new. Which is really
where the diference between the other gamers on this list and myself
come in.

I was sighted, experienced playing a various Star Wars games
first-hand before losing my sight, and while I wouldn't mind having
some accesible Star Wars games like that available I'd like to move on
and catch up with the mainstream Star Wars games. On the other hand
since the blind have had no access to games from the 80's and 90's its
all new to them. So for me it all comes down to a choice of spending
time working on creating a game similar to what I've played before
losing my sight, or starting out fresh with something new. I can do
both, but it also is a question of time and energy. Since I only have
a limited amount of both I'd prefer to start out, at least for the
time being, with something new and slightly original.

Cheers!
