Igor,

Hello mate, I've tried to e-mail you several times now,
but your ISP keeps on reporting failure :o(

It could be interesting, certainly, but I'd prefer more 2D Spectrum
rewrites, especially if they're up to the standard of Frosya.

If it uses the Doom engine, then presumably you have to shoot the
enemies,
rather than just avoid them? Plus in Doom you cannot jump, if I
remember
correctly?

How about Dynamite Dan 1 & 2, the Dan Dare games, Brian Bloodaxe, the
Wally Week games, the Monty Mole games, the Dizzy games, the
Technician
Ted games (Technician Ted, the 128K remix and Costa Capers), City
Slicker,
Starquake, Happiest Days of Your Life, Skooldaze and Back to Skool,
Chuckie
Egg 1 and 2, Jetpac, Lunar Jetman, Underwurlde, Atic Atac, Sabre Wulf,
Jack the Nipper 2 and so on?

I look forward to seeing JSW: 3D, but I really hope you find time to
do more Spectrum rewrites, especially of the Frosya games. Anyway,
cheers mate.
