Things learned in the course of development here (eg table driven decision tree) are being integrated into TML, for example. https://www.intvprime.com/super-pro-baccarat-is-under-development/ Cool.

I actually know who Phil Ivey is but had never heard of this and it's definitely different than the pictures of edging that Rev sent me via Jason.

Just like I learned how to play Blackjack and Poker on my Intellivision. Well, I actually hone my skills with C=64 Strip Poker. It turned out that Poker is actually very easy, all you have to do is rename the image files to to view them, and win every time! ? I'm ready for Vegas now!

DZ-Jay Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 By the way, seriously, I'm really looking forward to The Minstrel's Legend. Even the occasional end-of-year trailer/celebratory video is cool and exciting! dZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First Spear Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 On 6/9/2021 at 1:37 PM, Steve Jones said: That's cool, I would suggest calling it Las Vegas Baccarat, the Super Pro games were mostly improved upgrades to existing sports games. I know there were exceptions like SP Decathlon and SP Volleyball but I think that was for uniformity with all the other Super Pro sports titles. Pretty sure "Las Vegas" isn't a copyright issue either. And since there was no previous Baccarat title it's not really improving on one. Just a thought, feel free to ignore it. If there is no "Super Pro" prefix, is the programmer really trying? Same for snow levels and Bea Arthur references. #required 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hehehehe … That reminds me that the original Christmas Carol release included as an Easter egg, a teaser for my next game “coming in 2015!” — that was in 2012, when three years seemed like plenty. Now, I wouldn’t dare even suggest a release within the decade! ? Anyway, I can’t wait to see the Minstrel’s Legend come out. ?? dZ.

Well, I sure hope you have more luck (and are more disciplined) than me when it comes to the long list of "to-dos" that would follow that current never-ending project. -dZ.
