I'd buy it in a minute.  I've always dreamed of having something like this.
Do you have any idea when it could be done?  I'd like it yesterday :), but
I know that isn't quite possible.  I could really use something like this,
more than you could possibly know.  I think metal figures are nice, but that's
all they are- nice.  I would much rather have a computer.  And a joystick
extender is a nice idea.  How will it handle combat?  I understand that you
could not exactly work combat into it, because then it would be game-specific,
and that could be a pain if you're not working in a certain game.  This could
be nice...  How about staircases?  How would those be handled?  Would you just
load up a different background?

Next question.  Is this going to be a super-bitmap kind of thing?  Or will it
be a top-down view-the-whole-map kind of thing...  Super-bitmap scrolling would
be most awesome...  but I imagine it could be slightly limiting.  Also, how
big will each cell on screen be?  I am thinking maybe 1/2" to 1".  But I
could be wrong, you know...  And thank you for using EHB.  I only wish more
programmers would.
