Something like Zelda would probably be murder to program, even a game as relatively simple as the original. You'd have to program the overworld, the underworld, the shops and the different enemies. And that's probably not even scratching the surface. Tom did say he'd once considered writing something like that but the amount of coding involved was enough to make him cringe. Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shadow Dragon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Saturday, November 24, 2007 7:28 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Montezuma's Revenge News
