... make people have to enter a serial to use the full version of the game.

Yep yep -- there'll be a "Flight School" demo free for the download.

Having a trial version will probably increase your sales as well ....

I want people to have the visceral experience of having a physical professionally packaged piece of software in thier hands.

Sorta like the feeling ya get when ya buy an InfoCom game that you're really really into.

To be honest, people will be put off by a high price for a game ....

PLEASE ....

... be honest ! lol

I was thinking $20 shipped.

I've heard that some interactive fiction writers give away the game itself ....

I don't wanna go that far lol

They then create and sell "feelies", which are little trinkets that add to the game experience or may even be necessary to complete the game itself.

mHM mHM

Not so much for the feelies but like I say above -- using InfoCom as a reference, too ! lol -- I do want the "I'm-Holding-Something-Cool" reaction.

I do have a friend who makes an online TV show ....

Funny you should mention that ... lol

Remember this name ....

"Mr. KarateMan & BreakDance Lad" ....

*wink* *wink*

It'll be the next "Homestarrunner" !

Soooo... What's the status on this project?

A work in progress

Any screenshots or demos planned in the near future?

Absolutely!

Before the year's out at the absolute latest

Have you even started to write it ?

Yes & no lol

We're into our 3rd month -- give or take -- but the coding's being done with a collaborator who'll get half of the proceeds.

And most importantly, will there be a version for the Classic II ?

Yes & no again lol

No -- there isn't specifically a version of it but yes 'cause they're the same machine except -- in my opinion -- the

Apple Macintosh Classic II's quote/unquote "sexier".

I do have an LC with a Daystar 030 accelerator card.

It'll run flawlessly

...prays that it doesn't require an FPU

I'll check on that lol
