Hi Phil, Hahahaha! That was a good one. I definitely wasn't expecting that one. Seriously though, I am considering purchasing the rights to some hard rock instrumental tracks to use for the menus and perhaps racing so that much really will rock. Grin.

Can you have a variable rocking so if the rocking is too much I can turn it down? If the rocking is not user adjustable, should I purchase foam pads to place under the computer to prevent this rocking motion from upsetting my coffee mug?

Re: [Audyssey] in support of Thomas Ward - Re: To the developers of Montezuma's Revenge
Hi Charles, Well, I know in one case, USA Raceway, is actually going to be a bit better than the original design. James North's version of Raceway was going to be more or less like the classic Poll Position where you raced against three other cars on the track. you could select a track like an oval, figure 8, etc. What I want to do with Raceway is make it along the lines of Nascar Thunder. Complete with a 26 game season, 10 championship races, season scores, realistic physics, force feedback support, etc. My version will probably rock when it is completed. So try and not get too bumbed out over them not being exactly the original. Smile.

I agreed to take it over, and sell it under my own name once I completed it. I never saw one dime of the money James North got for creating the early development of the game. So in addition to the $1500 I made off the game during the Christmas season I would have had to come up with an extra $1000 to insure everyone got their money back. The $1500 I made over the Christmas season would have been no problem to refund at the time. However, coming up with the money to refund everyone who paid James North instead of me was not financially possible, nor do I think I have to owe $1000 in refunds I did not personally take orders for. Cheers. Jason Allen wrote: It isn't unfair. If someone bought a license for the game and you were then contacted to remove the title (actually, all you'd really need to do is re-name it) you should have refunded everyone's purchase. Not give them something else that they may or may not want. That's just how business goes. It would have been the professional way to handle a bad situation - in my opinion. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.
