HI Tom,
You are quite right. Personally, I don't believe a game created in a
side-scroller format necessarily needs to imitate games for the Atari
2600 platform. After all those games lacked modern day features such as
3D graphics, realistic sounds, large player inventories, save game
Mmm, donuts.

Hi,
Well, the current intro scene at the start of the game has her just
walking through the jungle, and her opening the temple door. I do admit
a combat intro scene does sound a little cooler
will there be a series of titles of the tomb hunter series?
sounds like one to me, in fact there was going to be such a series, well you
said there was obviously thats probably all up in the air.

At one time I was thinking of calling it Mysteries of the Aztecs however

I dunno, I just like that at least with win I can press enter and it
goes after a few questions. With a .deb file in linux this can be done
also and after the password is entered it will just extract it. That's
what I like.

Hi Bryan,
Thanks for the encouragement. Yeah, I have done a lot of thinking about
this new and improved side-scroller, and after reading all of James
North's development documents I felt the game was just too plane for my
tastes. I have seen a lot of new and more modern ideas applied to
SOunds great. One request, please make the game easy to install on
linux. Too often the new linux user has to compile sources and I think
the installer should be as automatic as it is on windows. Just my thought.
