thank you, i will check that soon, yes battery acid is a murder.one is leading to the next memorythe shepherd, ha, still got that installed for the winuae, not so long ago i played it again.since i liked "god games" most besides of frontier a real favoritand imo i havn't seen many so nice put together shareware games like this, gfx, story, allover a good jobof course measured with todays standarts low in gfx, but still nice to look at (read me, don't eat me
). populous, of course, i still have the box (misused for pencils or oil colours now), i owned this as second game ever, was back in beginning of the 90's the computer (if it's worth to call that one), a 386 belonged then to my fatherfirst i ever owned was guess...SimCitythen Populousafter i bought SimEarthWill Wright stated at the end of the "booklet" (>300 pages) who will ever read all thisi did Will, i did, more then once.games with wich i made people addicted to gaming who stated before that they won't play computergames (my father
*)but not everything is stupid crash, boom, bang...* not quite true we played together many hours of golf on the intellivision few years before.first cut is the deepest?yesi still love the inty, hard to understand maybe, but first cut is the deepest!still i play sometimes a round of golf, i like the unpredictable things like wind you can't measure or slope you can't see, lawn that really exists but you can't tell.only 9 holes, but you can't play them each game in the same wayif i look at my other golfing sims... predictable. once you now where the optimal line is you can play allways the same.except turn to a harder option for TWPGA08 that means joystick control for swing that's ok, at least needs confidencefor TWPGA2k turn to mouse swing and and use a emulated mouse on the stick.but the unpredictability is gone still, you will know exact wind m/s, you can check the exact slope in feet, lawn that you not only see, no it's measured too.btw, i like sid's simgolf, i know you can't really play active, strokes been made by the program, but exactly that's the charm, you can be as good as you like, sometimes you mishit.one i really disliked was the golf i bought once for gamecube, predictable and typical nintendo, play in the way they suggested it and you win, allways.complete different to my own courses i made for TWPGA2K, take some risky shot, be creative, no one said you have to play allways on the fairway, maybe you got a chance to gain a stroke or two, or lose one or two (ok, AI is completely overwhelmed in that case, that's the direction of fairway, he plays this direction, hitting the same tree 20 times
).course design is leaned mostly on inty's course, you can't do much better, i guess, allready the layout makes it hard to decide, should i play fade or draw? long or short? stay on the fairway or risk a shot over that immense bunker or lake, maybe in front of the lake is a good position for the next stroke? but there is this steep slope, risky.i know in reality i guess you will never see such a course, but it's computer golfing and real courses are boring to play on the computer, mostly straight, slight dogleg left or right but not much to decide how to play the hole.one of the more interesting ones for computer golfing is st.andrews, even if the holes are mostly straight but appearances are deceptive and the heavy wind kills many good planned stroke, also i find distance is very clever on the layout and often you land on the very front of the crumbled extra large green, a bad position to play from.gernot, stop it now this is SSC not GSC.
, but now two or three months later i received a mail from them that my account was reactivated.well i guess my hard words i wrote them showed some effect, whatever, good to hear someway.i wrote them that i knew it's not a real review, but also that it is a community project and no commercial interest behind,i suggested then they would only respect reviews of games they can sell retails of...i think that has borne fruits.really, rapping could help sometimesanother not gaming related similar occurance, i downloaded a prog called free music editor,installed it and found out that you could only use it fully against a fee...i wrote a mail, i told them, "hey thats not fair you call your program "free", but it isn't".not so long time after i received a mail with the serial no. to unlock it and a short apology :mrgreen:the only ones never answered is MS i guess i wrote allready three of such mails, i mean they force people to do, they say it helps to improve their quality, but i never received a answer...in fact i would have been relly surprised
