Hi Michael,
One problem though. E.T is a copyrighted work so the developer who does
this could technically be in violation of U.S. copyright law. I have no
idea if Universal Pictures would be willing to take it that far, but I
propose some flexibility in terms of storyline and/or game play.
Hi Keith,
SPQ? There is no such program. You mean Microsoft SQL?
If you removed Microsoft SQL that would be a big reason for Entombed to
crash. You need the Microsoft SQL database engine in order to handle the
Entombed database. If you removed it you need to reinstall it to play
Entombed.
Hi all,
I just thought since so much discussion has been about mud clients for
Windows, Mac OS, etc I thought I'd pipe up here and give blind users an
idea of how I play muds on Linux. For this example I'll use Alter Aeon

I'm currently running Ubuntu

Hey, Thomas.
I like your idea on the game!
Sure that would be fine as long as it had the same plot as the movie
and have sounds and music.
That is why I said in my post that the game could have a mixture of
levels to make the game more funner and entertaining.
