Hello!
This port was done by Dave Bacher, best known for the OS/2 port of
vMac. This game seems as stable as the Windows or DOS version. The
original author of the game is looking for someone to take over the
development -- I am seriously considering this, or I may just do my
own game instead (I'll do my own eventually either way).
Issues:
1. Compiled with EMX, not with IBM C++. This will be fixed soon,
I was concentrating on getting it working first.
2. There are a lot of repeated graphics. This is not my fault,
it is merely a statement of fact.
3. The game runs a little faster than the DOS and Windows version.
For whatever reason, when I tried what the Windows version did
for the timer, the game paused totally. The time value is close,
and you can adjust it anyway.
4. No sound. The original doesn't have it anyway. The only sound
you can expect is a beep. That's all that was provided for in
this release of the software.
5. As stated above, it's basicly a dead project. This port was done
mostly because I needed to play with the GPI some more.
6. The game sets the palette more often than it should. Since it only
sets the palette at the begining of the game, it should be OK, but
it really probably ought to be optimized a bit.
Anyway, my e-Mail is dbacher@ibm.net. If you find a new issue, let me
know. Since the project is pretty much dead (and seems to have been
for a while), I'm not likely to do alot with it unless I take over the
main version.
