BV> I forget what the original was called, but I've played it on the

PE> I think the original name IS "Wizard of Wor".

No it wasn't. I'm almost sure it was called Robotron or sumfin like that.

BV> earlier. In fact that archive also had some other good games in  it
BV> that I'd forgotten about. Stuff like Dig-Dug etc. BTW, do you have a
BV> _good_ version of Frogger for the C=64 ? If so, could you file
PE> Well I like the version I have.

A bit basic, although the essentials are there.

BV> attach it for me ? My kids like that one and I have never seen a
BV> good PC version of it.
PE> Can you let me know if the file I send you actually works?  It is
PE> possible that the first few bytes are wrong.

Nah, it worked fine. Thanks for that. Cripes, talk about stupid. Do
you realise that I now have a 3.5" diskette which turns my $15,000
computer into a machine which I could buy for $50 ? Am I dumb or what.

BV> I'll get back to you on Wizard of War in a few months when I have a
BV> good maze game engine written.
PE> That's pretty rapid development isn't it?  Maybe you've done it
PE> before or something, but it would take me ages to do something
PE> like that.

I don't think so. I forgot to add the 6 months for me to find the
time to do it though :( Work really sucks.

PE> BTW, I won't be paying $200 for an MSDOS version!
PE> I can play on the C64 if I want to - it's the Amiga that I really
PE> want it for.  Like I say, I've even got an OS/2 version, but I'm
PE> not interested.  BFN.

ROFL...You are missing something Paul ( I think it could be your brain ).
I have NO intention of writing a Wizard of War clone simply so that
I can get $200 from you...ROFL...There are better ways to make a buck.

Regards, Brenton
