On Atari, I believe there was only one save. As for the "no time", are you sure you were not running in Emotion mode, where there is indeed no timer?<br /><br />As for crediting Frederick Raynal, he contributed at least one big thing that I "backported" to the Atari ST version: the demo with the camera that explains 3D and the keys (at the time, explaining that was quite necessary). As far as I recall, the demo itself is a recording of him playing the game (althought it might be me for the Atari ST version, I'm not sure I could have reused PC data due to timing differences).<br /><br />The game engine was pretty advanced when I presented it to Infogrames, but there was very little in terms of puzzle design. While I did design all the rooms (the design program was written in GFA Basic and only ran on Atari ST), I also incorporated feedback from Infogrames in general and Frederick in particular regarding playability, colour schemes, etc. So it was not like I came up with a completely finished game and then Infogrames ported it. Rather, I came up with a finished game engine, and Infogrames was busily porting it to other platforms at the same time where I was finishing up the rooms, adding new kinds of platforms or enemies, etc.Christophe de Dinechinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15212549796119667462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705644882909734829.post-67451090182662197682021-08-24T12:07:53.445+01:002021-08-24T12:07:53.445+01:00Oh !

I may have little questions for you if you don't mind.<br /><br />Talking about the Atari ST version, it seems the "restore memory" function is the only one which reload the original save instead of reloading a "quick save" like the Amiga and DOS one... <br /><br />Also i was curious, in the Atari ST version there is a lot of credit and thanks. You seem to credit Frederick Reynal from the "graphic" part ( in addition to yourself ), which is strange because from what i see in your blog, he was only involved later for the DOS version.<br /><br /><br />Don't worry about those platform, i tested them in the DOS version and they work fine, i still have to test it on the original one ( Atari ST ) but i'm sure it's because i used a cracked dump of the game. I should have been wary since in this version of the game, the time counter doesn't tick so it's most likely something the cracker changed that had repercussions he didn't saw.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705644882909734829.post-66268242275873193602021-08-23T06:50:12.120+01:002021-08-23T06:50:12.120+01:00Dear Anonymous,

Does 'math' include something somewhere which can be described by something somewhere other than the zero and the all the positive and negative numbers ( including, of course, positive and negative infinity). It would seem obvious that nature is just a mathematical illusion. Half of everything is positive numbers and half is negative numbers. The sum of these numbers is always zero, which is nothing. Hence there never 'really' has ever been anything, and there never will be. Existence is really just a mathematical illusion which can never 'really' exist. The positives always instantly cancel the against the negative amounts.<br />A black and white movie gets all of it's meaning from the 'contrast' between the lighter and darker areas, which get all of their meaning from the person who can understand the code. All meaning is based on contrast between opposites, ie. hot vs cold, good vs bad, big vs small, none of these things or anything else can exist without it's opposite, which is really just more or less of the same thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705644882909734829.post-57968091395228562392019-11-20T15:08:19.457+01:002019-11-20T15:08:19.457+01:00Je souhaite partager un témoignage sur la façon do...Je souhaite partager un témoignage sur la façon dont le service de financement Le_Meridian m'a aidé avec un prêt de 2 000 000,00 USD pour financer mon projet de culture de marijuana.

C'est la raison pour laquelle j'ai mis autant de liens, de sources, dont un très grand nombre vers des journaux ou blogs de gauche. Je fais un grand effort pour lire à la fois des sources qui vont dans mon sens et les arguments contraires. La vraie objectivité n'est pas d'être neutre, mais d'avoir pris en compte les faits.<br /><br />Je ne suis pas dans l'étape de la victimisation, par exemple. Je constate simplement que l'utilisation faite de la justice dans cette affaire est partiale. On entend peu parler de la récente mise en examen de M. Hamon, pour des faits à mon avis plus sérieux (insultes publiques). La justice n'enquête pas sur la fraude fiscale pratiquement avérée de M. Macron, et pourtant il s'agit là encore d'une affaire évoquée par le Canard Enchaîné. Ce sont là des faits objectifs, pas de la victimisation. Si vous en déduisez que nous sommes victimes, vous avez sans doute raison.<br /><br />Quant à attribuer à M. Fillon utilisant les mêmes méthodes, j'y répond déjà dans l'article. M.

In it you said you doubted anyone actually daisychained 16 computers together - well we did! Or about 12-14 of them anyways. I was a part of an Atari Users Group in Minnesota called FMAIG/UFFDA (fargo moorhead atari interest group/and I dont even remember what the other was short for - norwegian humor though) for both 8 bit and ST users and we had some of the first LANparties likely ever. We'd get together at someone's house with everyone dragging their ST and monitor along, set up some tables, and have at it a couple times a year. I knew then that LAN gaming would eventually be huge based on how much of a blast we were all having - despite the simplicity of the game it was very intense because you rapidly get into the hunt or be hunted mentality.<br /><br />I notice that the Con of the North was mentioned as apparently still having MIDImaze matches - that's news to me, I wonder if any of the people I knew from decades ago might still be there. ;) I don't know how many other Atari Users Group did MIDImaze but maybe it was actually uncommon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705644882909734829.post-91788629259488650242016-11-02T12:05:14.923+01:002016-11-02T12:05:14.923+01:00@Stijn Sanders: Wrong post?
