Subject: Re: More news about Miner Willy
While reading that page, this quote struck
me:
"But they face a real challenge in selling Willy to
the current generation of game players, who now
expect complex 3D environments with textured graphics
and surround-sound in their games"
My first
pessimistic thought was "we're doomed" but actually it could
be fascinating to see how (and if they can) they
make Willy appealing to the Lara Croft generation
without sacrificing its original infectious appeal
(appeal to us anyway. Most of my generation and the one
after us has an extremely short attention span, as
proved by my past attempt to introduce my young cousin
to the pleasures of eight colours and 2D platform
action)
