Re: A89: a89: Drugwars


1. He didn't post it on this list.  He asked questions regarding it so that
he can do the best job possible in making it.  If that's too much for you,
put some filters on or unsubscribe.

2. I've heard the opinions of the people on this list that DON'T like it.
I'm sure there are some out there that do like it.  Regardless, I'll form
my own opinions, thank you very much.

3. If the game is that bad, why has it been ported (or rewritten, as
corrected in another thread) to so many calcs.  I think it's been made for
the 82, 85, + others.  No one bothers to make games that NO one likes for
so many calculators.

4. I hardly think this game is offensive simply because it has some drugs
in it.  It doesn't necessarily promote drugs any more than Quake promotes
killing.

5. As for the last line of your message, like stated in my first reply, I
DO want to play this game so I can critique it on my own, if you don't mind.

I'm sorry I keep sending messages to this list, particularly the somewhat
off-topic messages, but I hardly think I've come anywhere near, in number,
to that of Mr. Miller.  Thanx for your time.
