I'm reprogramming Below the Root from the ground up to run on modern computers. It's an as-is clone: same graphics, same sound, using the Commodore 64 version as my baseline. I've extracted all the sound and music, most of the graphic blocks, and I've re-created the sprite sheets. It's taken me longer than I'd have liked, but I'll get there (my sig strikes home).
The author of the books gave me license to clone the game. Years ago someone bought the rights to make a movie and possible new game, so the author couldn't give me permission to redo the game with new graphics and sound. Alas, whoever bought the rights has apparently done nothing, or at least not that the author knows of.
I grew up in Prince George's county Maryland and now live in Kent county Maryland on the Chesapeake Bay. The entire county has less that 20,000 people (the smallest population in the state) and it's almost all farmland and waterways. Yet Kent County had its roads cleared very quickly after the big snow this year and our power went out for maybe 2 hours. Kent county has the most efficient emergency crews I've ever seen and I'm willing to bet they only have a fraction of Montgomery County's budget.
It's derived from the same place we get the word nigger.
The two words are not derived from the same place.

Quirkz, I think a thoughtful, moving story could be created off of the roadmap you've provided. A skilled writer could make the "worry about the peace" absolutely gripping.
And perhaps the "ugly damsel" is the most beautiful woman in the world to the main character...Niafer from "Figures of Earth" by James Branch Cabell springs to mind.
There are many folks on here saying a variation of "Don't Do It".
- If you really want to be a game developer, you'll ignore their advice.
- If you listen to their advice, then you didn't really want to be a game developer.
Walking away from a creative passion because someone tells you that you should is a fairly good sign that it wasn't really a passion.

Aye, it could be an accident. But, nonetheless, what an opportunity for Eve and Mallory.
Most of the B to B traffic between Europe and Asia is rerouted through the USA.
How convenient for U.S. packet sniffers.
I too was in the UFCW and came away from the experience with the opinion that bad employees need unions more than good employees.
stoolpigeon:
But it was a time and place when the employers really didn't care if they kept you or not and didn't want to give us decent insurance and the union helped that to happen
So one could argue that bad employers need unions more than good employers.
Can't we just find an old subthread on the subject and link to that instead?
Huh. I picked up coffee and an egg sandwich from that very establishment yesterday morning. The place was spotless. Then again, it was the first time I've ever been there.
