38, A -> "telephone conversion" should be conversation I guess.
Hmmm, while I am at it, no way to copy text? By design? Edit: "doomed cause" -> because would be better for a transcript Edit2: Since he worked on Scavenger (PC game), if you happen to discuss with him again, could you ask him if he draw some influence from the Scavenger Amiga games by Ben Wright: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?p=602298#post602298 Last edited by lilalurl; 27 April 2012 at 23:27. |

Thanks, I've fixed the typos.
The JavaScript library's grid doesn't allow text selection by default but I think that there's a fix. I'll look into it. |

Good read.
Probably too late now but it would be interesting to know if he has the unique Zool demo that featured on Gamesmaster and what involvement he had making it. [ Show youtube player ] |
