I need to keep up to speed with this group. I guess part of it is the
daunting self-imposed task of archiving everything putting me off. Oh well

I'm not sure about Edward Martland's

that this version of Time Hole is a slightly fixed version of the
original game. The original was slightly uglier, and probably had
other faults. I'm loathe to see it on Andrew's site, in fact I'm not
really happy that any version of Time Hole is available anywhere,
since it's just not a good game. If I only had the motivation I'd cook
up a less bloated remix, with some better graphics
If you really must play Time Hole v.1, it's on the WoS archive. I
think they also have a broken copy of Time Hole v.2 which begins in
"An Office In Manhattan, but it's possible that they finally got round
to changing that a year after I emailed them about it

to finish another game one of these days. I guess this summer I'll
finally be (temporarily) free of commitments, so *maybe* game-making
will take place. It's getting into the spirit of it that's the problem
- I'm one of those fools who gets wound up when he can't get
everything going immediately. Anyway, I have designs on a
non-narrative game to be made, which should be fun if I can get going
on it
By the way, I just had a look at the Unlucky Seven. Some interesting
stuff there. Plus you used a pyramid in JetsetTest! Once again, the
JSW/Pyramid connection in action, folks

hard work go down in flames. Man, I should do some backing-up myself...
Is anyone else finding it irritating that this new-look Yahoo! has
"previous" and "next" links at the top of the page, but they go to
*newer* and *older* posts respectively?
