+Steve Jones Posted August 28, 2018 Author Share Posted August 28, 2018 Question, who wants these now or who wants to wait until PRGE in October? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Hmmmm. Good question. Either is fine with me. I'm in for a set for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnPCAE Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I'm definitely in for a set, if nothing else than to see how you manage the screenshots on the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Steve Jones Posted August 28, 2018 Author Share Posted August 28, 2018 Mostly imagination and stealing elements from other games and combining them, some are more creative than others. I contacted Shal Farley at Cheshire who were designing 3 of these and he told me this Towerquest never made it beyond concept art and some initial background screen generation. Cloud Nine had some gameplay implemented, but I don't recall whether its author considered it ready or not. Rocketball made it to the point of being a playable game, finished enough that we were very disappointed that it was cancelled without publication. I didnt want to ask him for artwork so I made it all up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the panel talks he's done, he never mentioned much about his time at activision and this game. Edit:. I'm not sure but I think Shal Farley programmed biplanes.

+intellivotion Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Question, who wants these now or who wants to wait until PRGE in October? to PRGE or not to PRGE, that is still my question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+fdr4prez Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 to PRGE or not to PRGE, that is still my question You may recall some of our suggestions for you from last year... You can call is sick and for the travel arrangements there is still time for you to volunteer to be the cabin boy for an ocean bound cargo ship going to the Portland port Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Steve Jones Posted August 28, 2018 Author Share Posted August 28, 2018 I'm definitely in for a set, if nothing else than to see how you manage the screenshots on the back Here's the latest one for Towerquest, pieces taken from Thunder Castle, Dragonfire, He-Man and some other game I don't remember. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
