A retrospective on as shining of a career in game programming as one could hope for. URL <A HREF="http://gamespot.com/features/sidlegacy/">http://gamespot.com/features/sidlegacy/</A> IT's fairly long, but very interesting. Make sure to read Sid's comments as well. He talks about what he feels makes a game good, and what is important in game design. I dunno how long it will be up, but Gamespot seems to be on about a 1-2 week rotation. -Greg </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00312.html">[MUD-Dev] Objects (was Re: DBMS in MU*'s)</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00314.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: WIRED: Kilers have more fun</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00318.html">[MUD-Dev] Informix releases free version for Linux</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00290.html">[MUD-Dev] Overworld Maps on diku style Muds- Design notes</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00313"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00313"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><STRONG>[MUD-Dev] Re: Fun vs Realism [ Was: OT: Sid Meier ]</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="00399" HREF="msg00399.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Fun vs Realism [ Was: OT: Sid Meier ]</A></strong>, Adam Wiggins <a href="mailto:adam#angel,com">adam#angel,com</a>, Tue 28 Jul 1998, 18:28 GMT </LI> </ul> <LI><strong><A NAME="00378" HREF="msg00378.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Fun vs Realism [ Was: OT: Sid Meier ]</A></strong>, Adam Wiggins <a href="mailto:adam#angel,com">adam#angel,com</a>, Mon 27 Jul 1998, 20:46 GMT </LI> </ul> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00321" HREF="msg00321.html">[MUD-Dev] More on Informix Linux release</A></strong>, J C Lawrence <a href="mailto:claw#under,engr.sgi.com">claw#under,engr.sgi.com</a>, Thu 23 Jul 1998, 20:23 GMT <LI><strong><A NAME="00318" HREF="msg00318.html">[MUD-Dev] Informix releases free version for Linux</A></strong>, J C Lawrence <a href="mailto:claw#under,engr.sgi.com">claw#under,engr.sgi.com</a>, Wed 22 Jul 1998, 20:49 GMT <LI><strong><A NAME="00313" HREF="msg00313.html">[MUD-Dev] OT: Sid Meier</A></strong>, s001gmu <a href="mailto:s001gmu#nova,wright.edu">s001gmu#nova,wright.edu</a>, Wed 22 Jul 1998, 19:40 GMT <LI><strong><A NAME="00290" HREF="msg00290.html">[MUD-Dev] Overworld Maps on diku style Muds- Design notes</A></strong>, Katrina McClelan <a href="mailto:kitkat#the486,bradley.edu">kitkat#the486,bradley.edu</a>, Tue 21 Jul 1998, 22:41 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00292" HREF="msg00292.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Overworld Maps on diku style Muds- Design notes</A></strong>, Richard Woolcock <a href="mailto:KaVir#dial,pipex.com">KaVir#dial,pipex.com</a>, Wed 22 Jul 1998, 00:19 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00298" HREF="msg00298.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Overworld Maps on diku style Muds- Design notes</A></strong>, Katrina McClelan <a href="mailto:kitkat#the486,bradley.edu">kitkat#the486,bradley.edu</a>, Wed 22 Jul 1998, 01:05 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00262" HREF="msg00262.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Login and Accounts</A></strong>, quzah <a href="mailto:quzah#geocities,com">quzah#geocities,com</a>, Sun 19 Jul 1998, 20:42 GMT </UL></BLOCKQUOTE> </ul> <hr> <center> [ <a href="../">Other Periods</a> | <a href="../../">Other mailing lists</a> | <a href="/search.php3">Search</a> ] </center> <hr> </body> </html>
