I've got plenty of money and I even hung around long enough to complete a season to get a gold medal. It still won't let me move!?!?!
About the game, it is buggy as hell, probably the buggiest game I've ever played, but if you can get past that, the gameplay is very enjoyable. I'm surprised it hasn't been remade in some form or another. |

well i've scanned the manual now, but the pages are so thin (you can see the other side very easily) i think i will have to do a bit of photoshop magic before compiling it as a PDF for HOL.

Horace, any luck on the manual? If you scan on a lighter setting it may make the printing from the other side fainter and easier to process.

Stingray is working on a patch? So your pain finally comes to an end.

It was denied release because I (even though i'm not the coder) should have said someone else was working on an install, although I never actually asked that person to start on it. (I just asked if they would be interested) - I will apologise to all, (StingRay included) for causing any unrest, this has never been the intent. I feel bad for the person who managed to do a very good install in a very short amount of time, because his work will not be acknowledged. Anyone is free to PM me if they want a copy, and perhaps ask StingRay if he will reconsider it's "official" release. I seem to remember other installs (e.g. Speedball 2) which sat on the "working on" list for a long time, which then got picked up by other people, because the original person appeared to have lost interest.

As i say, not looking to annoy anyone involved - it would just be nice to have the working slave that now exists released, and put the whole thing in the past. |

Ok Horace, you want it that way, no problem!

Besides, if you "assume" that I lost interest in that install, you could have sent me a PM here on EAB but that's just one more thing you "forgot". Then again, I can check your WIP list from now on and will assume you have lost interest in your patches whenever I feel like it and do them myself. That's just fair, don't you think? Right, I think so too! Quote:
I hope you enjoy the attention. And keep forgetting "minor" details. Way to go, really! |

as stated, I never said that about you, although you've been quite happy to call me names by PM. You have your reasons for denying the release, I just dont understand them considering your lack of interest in the game.

"He (Horace) did mention in his original email that he had asked you quite some time ago. So, you do not need to be upset with him and I should have looked at the WHDLoad home page before starting it. I did actually find it interesting to do the islave as I never to use the blitter to decode the mfm data before, so it wasnt a total loss for me." So, you are just saying he wasted his time to make me look like some kind of villain here? OK, that's fine by me. Quote:

OK, this seems to have gotten way out of hand.
I will be sending my source code to StingRay and next time before I start anything I will make sure I check the WIP on the WHDLoad page first. |

I don't fully understand the argument here or why there is a need to go about this in public.
Take it to pm or discuss on irc etc. Thanks |
