A Bug and Question

Just so everyone who might read this thread knows: The full retail Version submitted to Shrapnel of Trader DOES FIX the screen resolution not changing back bug. ONLY the demo is affected by this.

Thanks!

Ahhh...I love when developers say that! I wonder if that is the reason why most of the games I enjoy playing don't require a 3D video card?

Agreed, sachmo...I really think many developers and game designers need to start going back to the basics. Fancy graphics can make for a good initial "oooh!" factor, but truly fun and interesting gameplay is what really keeps a game on a hard drive for a long time. I think many larger developers these days have forgotten that.

Heck, I still have an original Commodore 64 that I fire up once in awhile when I crave cool gameplay (though those load times are murder compared to my Pentium 1.6 Ghz).

I love my C-64. I play most of the old games using an emulator. Those disk load times are way to long. Of course, not as long as the tape drive. My first C-64 game was Telengard from Avalon Hill. It used to talk forever to load, I really loved that game...
