What gets me is that Starflight and Starflight 2 ruined my view of game design and by extension made games like KotOR far less enjoyable. In Starflight you have litterally hundreds of systems/planets to explore (perhaps thousands of worlds) In Kotor we have.... what... five? Starflight fit on a single disc that you couldn't even put a full length novel on... KotOR took 4 discs... It seems as the technology advances... the less "game" we get... :ph34r: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> (Nicklaus) Wirth's law: software makes computers slower faster than hardware makes then faster. (Wirth invented the Pascal and Modula-2 computer languages.) Besides that, however, I agree. That silly French game I played in 1987 on the Amiga had more worlds to visit than KoTOR, AND a more advanced navigation system!

That looks pretty spot on for Ultima ][ (circa 1983-ish). Ahhh, memories. I played that on the Apple //e! "E" would expand to "EAST", etc. Wow, I'd forgotten the fun there ...

Time will tell ...

Indeed we did: you can't register a patent without a product (or method), and it makes it muc easier to have the patent granted if you have a product.

Swallowing isn't important. It's waiting until they've finished that's important: the rest is just showmanship ...

I can see the marketing suits tripping over themselves now ...

Genetic trait.

Do you know what you've DONE!?one!11 You've started me playing the game again!

Your rights end at the end of my nose.

Although variations in length and girth are innumerable whilst the organ is flaccid, these tend to regress to the normal length and circumference when tumescent.

If it is alive, the Japanese will eat it.

No. That is an enhanced TRS-80 Hi-Res image.

Darkee, just use Firefox, then you can increase the size of text with your mouse scroller whilst holding the Ctrl key.

How do you know?

Seek and ye shall find.

Algebra is useful if you want to describe a behaviour, like a line. Using a letter to stand for the variable part allows us to simplify the explanation (you could say encrypt, in your case). For example, rather than writing out an infinite set of co-ordinates to draw a big "U", I could just say it follows the formula x=y

Even though my familiary with the game of baseball is not as strong as I would like, I think I understand your gist ...

Depends. The attacker might have a counter-counter-attack ...

I don't upgrade because of the demands of a games publisher, though. The Playstation was streets ahead of the contemporary PCs, that's true, but since then the consoles haven't been better. Sure they are cheaper, but I would argue that you could play most of the games (minimum specs are ususally Pentium III 500MHz and 128MB RAM). Also, you are failing to include the variable costs: games are more expensive on the consoles (presumeably so that the hardware manufacturers can claw back some of their huge sunk costs in licencing fees). Sure the PS2 gave the masses the DVD drive, but we've all got one now. I can buy a writeable DVD for

Yep, that's the fella. Xeon, Xenon, what's next, Xena?

I just wanted to hurl any annoying characters at the enemy, even if it's just damage from momentum ...

That's what I mean. I don't think I've ever done that. So I must.
