AFA FunBob : GA GaryL 033 GaryL 033 : What was the inspiration behind PID? BungieSoft : The main motivation for PID, was the need to create a game that took complete advantage of Mac Hardwar GA AFA FunBob : GA D Jones D Jones : 1. In general, should you finish one level before the next? WHen I took the right sided ladder to ... the level one or two below ascension only to be trapped there. Thus I was unable to go back... AFA FunBob : D Jones is next. oops, Michael D29 is next. D Jones : and search at the left sided ladder which goes to a level with the same name. Am I able to go back? GA MichaelD29 : Will Bungie be providing an editor to allow for a more pleasureable playing experience? Ross Rubin : ? MichaelD29 : ie....my niece is 6 and having problems with the game BungieSoft : I think you can go back if you go back to Ground Level first, and then go back up from there... GAMEBOYBOB : ?

MARKOVICH : ok , thanks, just got here, how does it compare to the Ultima series? BungieSoft : Gee I don't know the Ultima series that well, sorry GA AFA FunBob : HUNTnGATHR GA. HUNTnGATHR : I had to send my 40Mhz accel. back for a few days. Is there any other way to speed it up on an LCII? Besides low resolution? MARKOVICH : ? AFA FunBob : Markovich....Pathways is nothing like Ultima..... BungieSoft : On an LCII, you probably should run in low res mode, and try adjusting the window size GA Ross Rubin : ! AFA FunBob : GA Markovich MARKOVICH : Ok, how about to Might and Magic 3, i was dissapointed with that game, too slow HUNTnGATHR : How do I get the window smaller than the default size? BungieSoft : To HUNT: Resize just like a regular window in the lower right corner Visionary2 : ? BungieSoft : To: Marko: PID is much much much faster than MM3 ... AFA FunBob : Nothing like MM3 or any other traditional RPG...it's a live action RPG with a look ahead perspective. MARKOVICH : ?last one BungieSoft : ... PID is continuous motion like Spectre and Hellcats GA AFA FunBob : GA Visionary2 VeeJayBee : ? Visionary2 : How the heck do you get past the point where you step on the green runes? BungieSoft : Green Runes? where? Visionary2 : The arrows, pointing out in a circle... HEALER G : Hi, What are we talking about Visionary2 : on one of the low levels. BungieSoft : on Happy Happy Carnage Carnage? Visionary2 : YEAH! That's it. My husband and I keep dying and it's getting us crabby. BungieSoft : You need to have an object, don't want to spoil it for the group GA AFA FunBob : GA Markovich MARKOVICH : Well I use an LC with 13 RGB...will I be slow ? BungieSoft : It will run good in low res mode on an LC GA MARKOVICH : Thanks:) Ross Rubin : FWIW, I've found low-res mode still very nice. Great job on a BREAKTHROUGH game. AFA FunBob : VeeJayBee MARKOVICH : Thanks for supporting the Mac BrianM3239 : ? VeeJayBee : Can replacing the saved game with a prior version be the cause of my copy prot. not stopping ? MARKOVICH : Bye AFA FunBob : Bye Markovich. BrianM3239 is next. BrianM3239 : will it run on a LC II W/ a 12" BungieSoft : Could be, try throwing out your pathways prefs file. It will re-ask 3 times but not again GA VeeJayBee : Thanks ! AFA FunBob : ? Panning stereo, does Pathway really make much use of it yet? BungieSoft : YES!, The shipping copy comes with Sound Manager 3.0 which makes the stereo sound possible GA Alex WH : ? AFA FunBob : However, you have our chops licking for a CD-ROM version that would have a more extensive use of sound to take advantage of it. Ross Rubin : @ ! AFA FunBob : Alex WH GA Alex WH : How much does PID cost? BungieSoft : The mail order places have it for 39 I think GA KevinVann : Something is wrong with my sound! AFA FunBob : Ross Rubin GA Alex WH : Bye. Ross Rubin : Oh, I just wanted to say that I think FunBob is asking for MORE SOUND! GA AFA FunBob : <-- always asking for more CDs....won a Toshiba 3401 at the MacWeek Volume Buyers conference LuckSinger : l;kjhfg;lhf AFA FunBob : this past MacWorld Expo....came with eight but I ate them up fast ;-) Sacred Bod : Hello?

AFA FunBob : ScottS7220 GA ScottS7220 : Is there a way to know where secret passages are? SimStar : ? Sacred Bod : ! LuckSinger : Is the game in stores yet? BungieSoft : Talking to the dead guys will point you to some secret passages GA AFA FunBob : SimStar GA SimStar : AWESOME GAME... sorry of you've already discussed this but what is some of the technical background? AFA FunBob : D Jones is next. BungieSoft : To LuckSinger: The mail order houses have it Gee simStar that's a fairly vague question GA ScottS7220 : ? SimStar : hard with 2 lines :^( what language, any "innovative" programming techniques, etc AFA FunBob : D Jones GA D Jones : Is there only one blue crystal? If not, any way to deal with the Banshees once its gone besides run!GA BungieSoft : to simstar: written in C and assembler Sacred Bod : I downloaded the demo on a BBS and was totally blown away!!! How did you DO that?! What's next? BungieSoft : to dJones: There is only one blue crystal, if it shattered on you too soon, that means... ... you used it too much GA D Jones : Just on Banshees SimStar : ? D Jones : and occasionally when the ammo was low ;) Sacred Bod : ? D Jones : GA AFA FunBob : ScottS7220 GA ScottS7220 : Does every level have a secret passage and if so, do all the dead soldiers know of them? BungieSoft : There are only a few secret passages, definitely not one per level GA' AFL Rod : When Sacred Bod asks his question we will stop and give away a few hours. AFA FunBob : SimStar GA SimStar : how high are you off the ground at the highest point (hard to tell how far I'm through) Sacred Bod : What will your next game be? BungieSoft : Gee, I don't recall, but check the player window - it gives your current elevation GA IowaJayne : hi is there a topic? AaronK3571 : Hello I am Aaron Sacred Bod : we know :) AaronK3571 : What?

ScottS7220 : ? AFL Rod : OK time for a break SimStar : let's wrap this up before it gets ugly! AFL Rod : We are going to give away some free hours on AOL. AaronK3571 : You are ugly. AFA FunBob : If you have general game questions, send me e-mail at AFA FunBob and I will answer them for you later tonight. AaronK3571 : My Friend Typed That Sacred Bod : I gotta go! AFL Rod : We're going to have a roll-off to decide who wins tonight's PRIZE.

VeeJayBee : Game is _well_ worth it ! JKROBIN : any suggestions for Iron Helix... PTeevan : Yeah but everytime I come here i want to buy the game... get's expensive GAMEBOYBOB : take care all SteveM007 : something supposed to happen here at 10:00 ??? VeeJayBee : G'night all ! JKROBIN : hello...? AFL Rod : Steve 10 has come and gone (AOL time = Eastern) AFA FunBob : Just wrapping things up Steve, PTeevan : G'nite AFA FunBob : but if you have any questions, we would be happy to stay and perhaps even answer them ;-) JKROBIN : nite nite SteveM007 : Bummer!!!!!! AFL Rod : Steve a log of the chat will be posted in a couple of days. SteveM007 : ok are there any Truly live games on AOL with Graphics????? AFA FunBob : <--- only for PC users...sniffle, sniffle SteveM007 : with out graphics????? AFC Alice : Steve, only role-playing games, no graphics. SteveM007 : why only PC AFA FunBob : I am not sure Steve, but there are probably dozens of local BBSs that have games without graphics.... SteveM007 : is that true only PC?? AFA FunBob : where are you calling from? AFL Rod : will be soon. probably monday JonB9 : ah no problem, I'll live:-) AFC Alice : I don't know why they didn't do a Mac version, but they do know we want one. AFA FunBob : The PC folks have a MONDO RPG game from the SSI folks for multiple players. SteveM007 : can you give me an example of what kind of role plaing games MarkA38 : nite all JonB9 : night Mark AFC Alice : They are just normal games like AD&D, but they meet in chat rooms. SteveM007 : maybe the software does not exist??????? JKROBIN : greetings all AFA FunBob : The special software exists for the PC folks, they have to download it (and it costs a few bucks) SteveM007 : greetings earthling AFA FunBob : if they want to join a game. Live action RPG game. JKROBIN : Gotta' question... AFA FunBob : Are you interested in freeware/shareware RPG games for the Mac? AFL Rod : greetings Ray. AFA FunBob : Ask away JKROBING RayDunakin : hello! SteveM007 : Depends... but yes JKROBIN : having problems with getting around in Iron Helix AFA FunBob : as in getting terminated JKROBIN : that's the one... any suggs. for avoiding the Defender robot? AFA FunBob : To be honest, I have not gotten far in that game...because I sent it off to our CD-ROM reviewer But, I think familiarity with the surroundings is the key, not hesitating, knowing all the levels... JKROBIN : I can't seem to stay alive more thatn 5-10 min AFA FunBob : i.e. expect to get killed a number of times in the early times, so save your game. JKROBIN : will do. thanx AFC Tuncer : Alex leave? AFA FunBob : That's not much help, JKROBIN, I found it a bit tedious overall, but at least the game has a fast response time...perhaps too fast ;-) JKROBIN : for what it is, it's my fav. CD-ROM game... AFA FunBob : Tuncer, when are you ordering those mailers...are they from a local company? And do they have a blank face? JKROBIN : g'nite all...and thanx AFA FunBob : see you.... AFL Rod : nite all. gotta run. thanks Bob AFC Alice : Goodnight. RayDunakin : Looks like I missed most of the action tonight. My computer was tied up with a data transfer. AFA FunBob : Hello Carmex and NOSREG. Any questions? Carmex : Yeah... Is Andrew Welch coming out with a new game any time soon? (like Maelstrom) AFA FunBob : I know he is working on a new game, but I have no idea what the release date is. Carmex : ok AFA FunBob : He claims it's better than Maelstrom! Carmex : cool AFA FunBob : And knowing Andrew, it will probably be a doozy! RayDunakin : yeah, Andrew is incredibly talented! AFA FunBob : Hello Cyjack, any questions? Cyjack : HI, are you still discussing Pathways? AFA FunBob : I am a big fan of his Oracle CDEV...gives a wise-saying upon startup. Most of the real veteran PID fans have vacated the joint. Carmex : also... will there be a sequel to Out of This World? It's an awesome game, but I've finished it. Cyjack : Is Andrew Welch an AOL member? AFA FunBob : Haven't heard of a sequel. Yes, he stops by here frequently. Carmex : I noticed that OOTW is incompatible with Soundmanger 3.0. Maybe there will be an update. (hope) NOSREG : HI AFA FunBob : Well folks, I am going to take off to look after my own BBS. Have a great weekend. If you have any questions about games or would like some dl recommendations, send me some e-mail to: RayDunakin : Bye Bob! AFC Alice : Hi, NOSREG. What's up? Bye, Bob. :) Carmex : bye AFA FunBob : AFA FunBob. I have download or uploaded nearly everything here at one time or another. RayDunakin : Well Alic, looks like it's just you and me now. I wonder about Director, if there's a lot of overhead. AFC Alice : Yep. I've never used Director. The price intimidated me. HyperCard needs at least a reader, but maybe you could include that in the upload. RayDunakin : Neither have I. I think I have it though, a friend gave me a huge pile of software, and I think one of them is Macromind director. AFC Alice : Wow. I'd try it then, if I were you. Of course, ResGenie allows QuickTime to be put into Hypercard. RayDunakin : Yeah, when I get a chance I should take a look at it again. I did once, briefly, but didn't figure it out enough to understand it. Gotta give it another try. AFC Alice : Which? ResGenie or Director? RayDunakin : Director AFC Alice : Hi, Nishka. :) RayDunakin : Never heard of ResGenie Nishka : I am new to this system. What does one do on a conference AFC Alice : It's available here on AOL. Integrates color and QT more easily than if you had to script all that. Conferences are where we hold live chats. Just talk. Nishka : Can I talk about anything I want? RayDunakin : Nishka -- we're just having a little chat! :) Hi Dima DimaT : Hi guys AFC Alice : Sure. This is the games forum, so most people talk about games, but the formal chat's over, so anything goes. RayDunakin : Speaking of which, I gotta go too. Buenos nachos! AFC Alice : Goodnight. See you. Nishka : I just looked at the Mac hardware 2.01 update. Is it worth it to spend 78 minutes downloading RayDunakin : bye! DimaT : Will see You Next Time AFC Alice : What machine are you running and what system software? Nishka : Mac IIVx and 7.01 DimaT : Is that for me AFC Alice : If you are not running 7.1, I don't believe you need it. No, sorry, Was talking to Nishka. Hi, Captain22. Hi, Tony. Nishka : O.K. When I download a graphic, I can't bring it up on my screen. What do I do Captain22 : HI TonyS33 : Hmmm... Is the 7 oclock conference still going on? AFC Alice : OK, have you unstuffed it if it was compressed? Nishka : Yes AFC Alice : No, Tony, this is just an informal thing now. TonyS33 : Has anyone here ever played Movod II? AFC Alice : What type of file is it? GIF? Nishka : How do I tell TonyS33 : Shareware game? AFC Alice : Never played it. TonyS33 : Nishka? AFC Alice : What is the name of the file? TonyS33 : Its called Movod II AFC Alice : Sorry, was asking Nishka. Nishka : I tried one called Grand Canyong and another that was a startup screen DS 9 (a trekkie picture) TonyS33 : Anyway, on September 5, I'm releasing my newest Mac game. Its called Quagmire. Its like a color... Dark Castle. AFC Alice : Really? Great.:) By the 5th? TonyS33 : Yeah. Its pretty cool. It has full color, multi-channel sound, 50 levels, animated movies... and a bunch of other cool things! AFC Alice : Nishka, you need to get a file called GifConverter or another one called Imagery. TonyS33 : $10 shareware, of course! AFC Alice : Either one can open almost any graphic. $10 is not much for that. Nishka : Can i get GifConverter or Imagery from AOL. If so, where TonyS33 : Do you play shareware mac games at all? AFC Alice : They are both here. I'll walk you through it, OK. The first thing to do is go to keyword Quickfind. Sure. Nishka : Keep going AFC Alice : What did you write it in? TonyS33 : Me? Nishka : Alice, I don't understand AFC Alice : OK, have you found quickfind? Nishka : Yes AFC Alice : Yes. What did you use, Tony? TonyS33 : Microsoft Basic... naw, just kidding. Think Pascal. :) What type of computer do you have, Alice? AFC Alice : :) I'm learning Think Pascal.IIsi 17/80 TonyS33 : What type of programming are you interested in? Games? AFC Alice : Nishka, now you want to do a search for Imagery or GifConverter using those as keywords. Games and funky utilities. Nishka : O.K. thanks for your help. Is that all? AFC Alice : When you find it, just download it, unstuff it and you're ready to open most graphics. Nishka : Thanks, bye AFC Alice : Have you messed with C at all? Or C++? TonyS33 : Anyway, when you ready, Cellusoft animation Routines should help you. I wrote them myself. Yeah, I'm just starting to learn C++ (with Dave Mark's book) I need to have a C Bask for college. I'll be a freshman in a month. Bask = base AFC Alice : Great. :) Where? TonyS33 : Stanford Univ. AFC Alice : I've been thinking of taking programming at UCLA. TonyS33 : Yeah! I live in the LA area. I started by taking a summer course in pascal at UCLA! It didn't get Mac-specific though but they have a great book store! Nishka : Alice, what was the other program. Imagery was one , what was the other one. AFC Alice : Hi, Rekoil. TonyS33 : Would you like to see the beta version of my color Dark Castle game, Alice? (Its a long download) AFC Alice : GifConverter. I'd love to see it! Nishka : Do you people know each other Rekoil : Anyone here play MUDs? TonyS33 : (Its an hour download) Would you promise not to distribute it and give me lots of feedback? AFC Alice : No, we all just met. No Internet access, so no MUDs for me. Nishka : Bye AFC Alice : I promise. Full NDA and I'll give you lots of comments. Mr Big 69 : hello Rekoil : I'm looking for some...I've only found one so far. Mr Big 69 : any cool games worth downloading TonyS33 : There you go AFC Alice : What kind of games do you like? Mr Big 69 : any realy TonyS33 : My color Dark Castle/like game will be available Sept. 5. Look for it! Mr Big 69 : adventure game AFC Alice : Do you prefer shareware or demos of commercial games? TonyS33 : bye. AFC Alice : Bye. :) Mr Big 69 : is there any games you can play while online AFC Alice : Not for the Mac on AOL. There are some games you can play over a modem to others, though. Bolo is one. Hi, BSWAIL BSWAIL : hello Mr Big 69 : can you do any thing on aol without downloading it AFC Alice : You can look in the message boards for a folder on it. You can play regular role-playing games. Mr Big 69 : how AFC Alice : In chat rooms. Mr Big 69 : but do they show picts AFC Alice : Go to keyword RPG. They have a list. It's a whole forum for that. No, no picts, that's what I meant by regular. Mr Big 69 : can i see graphics online AFC Alice : Unfortunately, not while playing a game. That may happen in the future if enough people ask for it. Mr Big 69 : do you recomend any games to download AFC Alice : Yes. Any of these. Maelstrom, Pathways into Darkness, Another Fine Mess, CheckerMania or JewelBox. Mr Big 69 : how long do they take AFC Alice : Pretty long because of size and/or color. Color Rescue! is also good. It's Star Trek and it doesn't take as long. Mr Big 69 : what is star trek AFC Alice : You can check how long the download will take by looking in the file descriptions. Rescue! is a Star Trek based game. You rescue stranded colonists from enemy attacks. Is that the kind of game you were looking for? It's an arcade.
