Unfortunately, I’ve been preoccupied with other projects and responsibilities and haven’t had a chance to play it again, but I look forward to my next attempt.

Thank you for the book recommendation. There is so much wisdom out there.. where you might expect it, and so often in unexpected places. And yes, playing one’s own game can be rewarding. It is much more satisfying than letting the game play us.

I’m currently taking a programming program, and while I am a novice (my next planned grand project is a playable version of ‘Guitar Hero: The Original 1980′s Text Adventure’) once I achieve more mastery, I’d like to port your game to Android. Could be quite a while, but by that time the phones might be able to do it justice.

Also, I recommended your screen saver to my mother and she loves it.

May you be well,

Thanks for the wonderful comment! I’m really glad to hear that you’re still getting something from the game. I have a feeling you are one of the ones I was thinking of when I originally mentioned “3 other people on the planet” liking the game.

After reading your comment I decided to have a play myself. I hadn’t looked at it in about 2 years. You are right, it plays nicely on my system too. Sorry about the joystick thing – but I guess the fact that the game plays at all is a bonus! I’ve been looking for a game to play of late, so perhaps I’ll give my own a go. I just re-hacked together the hiscore table with a bit of sticky tape and guess work. Hopefully it will work, and I can post something substantial.

Thanks for the quote. Yes we see so little of what’s really there and what we do see, we rarely appreciate properly. I’ve actually been in a Tibetan mood of late as well. I’m currently reading “The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep” by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche. This book is for me at least, a real treasure.

May your dreams be dreams of clarity!

I just remembered it and sought it out again while reading ‘ruling your world’ and its discussion of samsara. Possibly not what rinpoche meant, but then again maybe it is. It brings me joy.. and I’m useless at most games.

On my new machine it looks and plays beautifully in HD with all the video options maxed out. only small caveat is i can’t get my logitech dual action to work. it detects it but nothing happens when i twiddle the buttons.

Thank you for this gift to the world!
