No temper tantroms I think, i'm already pleased with what niels bauer has done accessibility wise, remember he doesn't have to. as someone has already said, the compatibility mode is a work in progress, and already a lot more of the game is playable than when it first came out.
i think when the trade window is fixed, and he's made the fleet combat screen accessible (though havn't quite got to the point where I need that as yet), the game will be one of the all time greats. beware the Grue! dark. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tj" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2008 1:58 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Smugglers 4 Is this really playable? > Now that you mean peeps brought it up, I'm having that problem too1 > Jerks. > We should band together and have a temper tantrum and make the dev fix it! > > Ok, so, request nicely is what I'm really shooting for.
