(it could have been Dark Star) It was a shameless rip off of
Forbidden Planets (which was crap anyway but that's not the point).
That game had a redeeming quality if you typed swears into the high
score table the game was programmed with some moderately amusing
retorts to your foul language hahaha!
> All of my games stink worse than dead fish if that's any help.I disagree I enjoyed playing Soul Miner, I'll admit the teleporters
made me want to nut my moniter through for a while but perserverence
was rewarding, and it had quite a good story too. I haven't played
that for ages to be honest I might dig it out later on (by which I
mean open the folder with it in hahaha!).

seems to rub off on people hahaha! Maybe I should become a luddite,
Sir Clives technology sounds like it would be safer without me hahaha!
(just out of interest it wasn't a friday was it?).
Also to herve I was going to do a similar game to your "Rescue Maria"
idea a year ago or so, but it was Maria in Willys bloodstream.
I never started it because of issues with the map. At first I was
going to make the map fit Willys pixels but to make it even remotely
more than a mini-game the hat had to be included which would have been
silly cos' although it's Willys trademark it isn't actually fused to
his head. Then I was going to make the map 4 rooms per pixel but this
made the game too big. Finally I had a ton of other Willy related
goodies on my plate and I lost the enthusiasm to actually even try it.
But I'll look forward to your future release (even if it is the
distant future hahaha!).
Also to Igor I've found "THE MINE VEHICLE DEPARTMENT" very sneaky,
but I won't say how I found it for the benefit of those that are
still looking. Thanks for putting me in there, I think you almost got
me right too. Sitting on a keg drinkin' I like the backwards cap too.
However I rarely wear my backwards cap these days I prefer a
camoflague sun-hat hahahahaha!
Cheers
