the big end? - Page 3

This is fantastic news, I have wondered about this game on and off for nearly 15 years now!

I love isometric games and this was going to be absolutely awesome. I really hope something good comes of this, this could have been the lemmings/sensi of the racing game genre.

(PS they also did a preview of this game in CD32 gamer issue 5 again the month before it was actually meant to be released IIRC)

Hey.. I`ve reminded him once.. I don`t want to get on at the guy

guess he`s just busy with stuff... I`ll remind him again in a week or two ..

ImmortalA1000 · 30 April 2009, 22:31

Ahh I wasn't implying to nudge the guy, I was just excited to find this thread after seeing the preview of this game whilst browsing some magazine scans. I had forgotten what it was called but always remembered the game as I love ISO arcade games and racing games so could have been great.

stainy · 01 May 2009, 09:30

AH I know... reading my post it does look retaliatory !! not intended!!

Should of read.

Hey ( How you doing )
I`ve reminded him once... blah blah heheh sorry for the confusion...

Infact.. I`ll remind him now.. just noticed it`s been a while since I nudged him

Update:

Lol! I haven’t forgot, honestly. I’ve just been very busy here, after the next week or so it will have calmed down an I will get around to it.

The only reason is that I want to hook up my old HD’s into my 4000 (which also needs to be rescued from the loft) to see if there are any new assets / exes that would be interesting.

I just love things like this! I can't wait for the final outcome

wilshy · 12 May 2009, 15:57

This is going nicely. I mean, we've waited since 93/94 another few months won't hurt

Good work Stainy!

stainy · 18 August 2009, 09:39

Just an update: Got my monthly *nudge* in... he`s very busy still...
Was asked to give him a poke in Sept... I`ll go for early Sept

Not bad news..

For me this is a cool strategy.

Always saying "Sorry no I'm not very busy I will do it soon" keeps whetting the appetite, but it's more gentle than a clear "Nope!".
Because he (like most others) knows well that if he says "Nope" he might get bugged the way like "Come on, couldn't you rethink your decision again? Pleeease!"

I don't care what you guys think, but for me this is a 99% "no", just expressed a little niftier, that's all.

stainy · 20 August 2009, 09:38

We`ll see!

TCD · 20 August 2009, 10:32

It's only 8 months now. I'm sure it'll show up... in 2012 or so

wilshy · 24 August 2009, 16:44

We've waited since, what, 1993. Another year or so won't hurt!

ImmortalA1000 · 29 August 2009, 07:53

Colour me pessimistic here too.

fryguy · 08 September 2009, 12:43

time for another *nudge* perhaps?

Johan Walfridso · 14 September 2009, 19:26

Would be fun to at least see more screens.

ImmortalA1000 · 01 December 2009, 02:34

As I suspected this is on a road to nowhere

I smell male cowpat here.

stainy · 01 December 2009, 15:12

Update: Craig has found files.. just needs to put his hands on some .exe`s.. also.. possibly unreleased AGA Empire Soccer as well

Great,

please remind him that Christmas is near, and everybody loves to give presents this time, right?

Here's hoping you'll be completely wrong. It sounds that way.

Good work Stainy. I for one will hold the torch of hope, give Craig a good drink if this comes through and then see if it lives up to my own hype
