Jill wasn't all that impressive, so what if it was VGA the game had no background and the sprites were tiny. Only a few actually looked good.(the Rainbow bird being one) I played Cosmo longer than any shareware game I've tried (which is basically all. I've been researching) so it's probably my favorite (A favorite shareware game, yea right...) Although, I hated Cosmo himself. The dual backgrounds and semi diagonal movement (via Staircase method) were cool, but the real fun was collecting all the objects which were arranged in semi circle patterns, so you picked up all the objects in one jump (which is nothing new really.) Kilo had nothing on Galatix either. Epic has outstanding Adlib, I mean SB only FM music though! They should toss the CMF drivers though, or maybe the Adlib market is small... Tim used to brag so much about Jill before it came out in RIME's game design conference, I'm sure Apogee and Id, which also used to participate in that conference, (All three are long gone or silent upon success.) had a good laugh once they saw it. Epic's games are better than MoraffWare's crap though.... Anyways, just my opinions. It's trivial whether I can do better or not. .----------------------------------------------------. | Colin Buckley | | Toronto, Ontario, Canada | | InterNet: colin.buckley@rose.com | | | | So Eager to Play, So Relunctant to Admit it... | `----------------------------------------------------' --- RM 2.00 : RoseNet<=>Usenet Gateway : Rose Media 416-733-2285
