When is Origin or Sierra (both >appear to be hurting for good A// programmers) going to hire Brian Greenstone? WRITE WRITE WRITE WRITE!!! And ask for a GS specific version! Hey! even mention Brian Greenstone.. Maybe they're interested! (and maybe he is too!) When I write, which will probably be next weekend, after finals (i.e. after 15th), I am going to say that I am still waiting for Ultima V GS... which is true.. they promised it... I will say that a NON GS Apple II version is better than nothing, but many of their complaints seem to be an "archaic 64K machine" etc etc etc... Which admittedly has a few valid points.. But the GS with the more than a meg of memory average (I'd guess) and superior sound, etc, is easily capable of doing something like this. Maybe even mentioning Prince of Persia is a good idea! This game is from Broderbund.. it's a //e game but it AMAZES the hell out of me.. The animation is better than I've seen in most games, INCLUDING GS specific games.. I've seen a 3.5" disk hack of it too. (it originally comes on 5.25" disks) I can't find the address to write to right now, someone else will probably post it.. -- _ __ __ __ _ /-------------------------------\ /_\ |__| | __|(GS) |_| |_ \ / |_| | unknown@ucscb.ucsc.edu | / \ | |__ |__ | |__ \/ | \ | unknown%darkside.com@ames.arpa | Computer engineering student seeking a job. \-------------------------------/
