Hello mate,

Hi, Carl!

It really is superb, and in the eighties would have sold tens of
thousands of copies, and made you rich. I wish there was still
money to be made in 2D platform games, as they can be (as so
many of the JSW/MM rewrites prove) really fun and worthwhile.
Nowadays, though, most companies will only release 3D games.

Carl, you`re wrong and do you know why? Because there are some games
in my game included that couldn`t be exist in 80`s. They are FROSYA
THE CAT, I BALL, and some others, I suppose. Plus remakes of games.
I`ve made a remake on Jet Set Willy, never were famous. :-)
Carl I ask you again: BUY NEW "DOOM III". It is no match for our JET
SET WILLY ofcourse :-), but looks pretty good... it is a remake of
DOOM I, it means that again Phobos and Deimos and again Hell,
including all old demons plus a few new and everything in sperb
graphics and design. Such a horror game that world didn`t met. I
think now. Why I shouldn`t make DOOM III, based on JSW engine....:-)

With any luck, most people wouldn't have read my post anyway, as
they'll still have been too drunk from Christmas ;o) Glug//glug//glug... oh, sorry... continue... :-) OK

Carl, do you really think that secret rooms are very possible to
enter? I thought that only those who don`t want to live will try to
jump in to the air, to the left of the balcony...

I am, no-one else is this fat ;o)

It seems that you don`t like your figure? Don`t worry, you can have
fat body and strong and beautiful soul. And the second thing is more
important to me.

I will do, if you promise to make some more games this good!

Try to finish LITE FROSYA.

I see, sorry I mentioned it then :o(

No prob.

It's possibly not that difficult to find these rooms; I e-mailed
the game .zip to Andrew Owen, the bloke who is writing SE BASIC and
several hours later (the same night) he e-mailed me back saying how
good JSW: ZX Heroes is, and mentioning the passage; [I quote] "The
best bit though is undoubtedly the FMV bit if you go off the start
screen to the top left and just follow the path.", so maybe other
people will find it, too.

I still don`t understand why.
I thought that they are rather errrr. secret.

Incidentally, Andrew also pointed me in the direction of a game
he'd written, called Nazomi Quest, which contains graphics from
other games. Try it, it's a nice little game, and is available from

http://www.duketastrophy.demon.co.uk/csscgc2k/entries.htm

It is downloading right now.

The zip file is:

http://www.duketastrophy.demon.co.uk/csscgc2k/csscgc2k.zip

Yes, sorry about that, but I know how you've had problems in the past with e-mail, so I thought it might be quicker by Yahoo! message
board...

I don`t know why you couldn`t e-mail me. Use my second adress: if you
don`t remember: "igorekmak@..."

Oh, sorry. It's a newsgroup that you can upload and download
files onto, and I access it with Outlook Express. The address is

alt.binaries.comp.sinclair

If you have any trouble accessing it, let me know, and I'll post
JSW: ZX Hero on there.

One thing: Carl, let me wait for a while, before I do it. Know why?
Because I want to delete all bugz in ZXHERO before it will get
somewhere out of this club. I didn`t find any bugz right now, but I
want it be 100 healthy. I find one bug: do not try to fall down from
the ELVEN WARRIOR, from the tunnel where the water is, I mean into
the shaft of REX, to the OLLI AND LISSA. You won`t get to the OLLI,
but you will die, when touching the end of the room. Don`t know why.

Carl, what rooms do you especially like?
Do you noticed that Brian Blood Axe situates next to the starting
position? That`s because of your person, btw...

Cheers,

Carl.

Regards,
Igor.
