Heh. I hear Mr. Ellison is a dangerous fellow when he's upset.

(Suddenly it's in the wikipedia article too.)

I'd rather like to play the game and see its slightly more optimistic approach.

I understand many editions of the short story have some sort of braille/punch tape pictorial motif running through them?

I can't say I'm not waiting for the oft-promised PC version of Mercenaries 2 (as I am, and so should you), it's just that the last in-house-developed game published by LucasArts was -- when exactly? They live off those royalties and exclusive publishing rights, I'm afraid. RTX Red Rock, no? (I rath...

Apparently the remake of the trilogy is finally emerging from development hell.

You do not know how long I've wondered if you could download games legally, pay for and download instead of waiting all that time for the disks to arrive.

I get the impression that Lucasarts does not stop publishers of foreign versions of its older games from rereleasing them. Ubi Soft published the French versions, and I've seen them do several different rereleases of some of the old Lucasarts games. (The last one came out a while ago, though, so the...

(By the way, has anyone successfully ordered this game from the Harlan Ellsion Store lately?)

The Order links on the game's home page don't even seem to work anymore. Is it legally available at all?

I've heard that this tends to happen on nVidia cards if DoubleScan is enabled.

DoubleScan can be disabled by right clicking the desktop > Properties > Advanced > Display Mode Timing > Uncheck 'Enable Doublescan for lower resolutions'.

I thought the Smacker-compressed video in Toonstruck was still a major obstacle. Or was that a different game?

(And, um, what's an IDA license?)

And if you're wondering what happened to "Tierra"; they're not dead; they just changed their name.

Yowza. I, too, thought this kind of progress was years away.
