- Yeah...this is true, but I am producing a game library that even a child
- can use. It is going to support mode-x, mode 13h, SB, and a host of other
- goodies. But one thing that kinda urks me is the influx in the game
- programming industry. There is so much material readily available. I had
- to learn the hard way. The didn't even have internet yet! :) haha....well
- catch ya'll l8r. I will keep you posted about the game library. It will
- be affordable; at least less than a hundred dollars, which is more than I
- can say for most game librarys.
