Hi Dark, or anyone who can help, I am playing the cave adventure game with a cheat sheet. I died and got lost so many times when I used to play the game on Compuserv, that I want to play and win now, even though I am using a walk through. Well, my walk through says that when I find the gold

Thanks Phil for your explanation of game designing. I thought that I could just purchase the kit and after a bit of learning and fiddling, program a game. I don't think that I will be doing that any time soon. But the idea is something to think about. I might try it in the future. So, to sum up, I

Hi all, Does anyone know if the game producer, Bavisoft, is still around? I have both of the games they did several years ago, Grizzly Gulch and Chillingham. I never have been able to really get around Chillingham. I haven't heard of the company in a long time. Have they done anything else?

Hi Paulette, It's difficult to say. A friend of mine who had next to no prior programming knowledge managed to pick up the kit and make a small game after about 4 or 5 days, but for some other people it has taken over a year; sometimes even longer. So it is a very individual thing whether
