Game astrogeddon

Also, brand-name conversions suffer because the developers aren't allowed to vary the gameplay or offer non-standard features like different board layouts.

CrossCraze was your first Windows game. Did you make the switch to take advantage of DirectX? Yes, in particular I needed a higher resolution graphics mode so all the letter tiles could be displayed clearly. That was only really practical using DirectX. In the olden days, when I was using Windows 3. Some games, like Lemmings, wouldn't even run in Windows.

How does making a game for bit Windows compare with making a game for DOS? It's a lot easier to develop games with Windows because it handles most of the tricky hardware stuff for you. Under DOS, you had to write different code for every video and sound card on the market. There were dozens of different brands so you could never cover them all - that's why so many programs failed to run on a lot of machines. By the way, I notice that your game names are two words with the space removed.

Is that sort of your signature? Does it make it easier to trademark the names? It's actually very hard to come up with names that haven't been used before. I've always used made-up words, but even then, it can easily take a hundred attempts before you find a combination that doesn't already show up on Google. This year you released a game called Astrogeddon, which is a remake of AstroFire. When I first saw that it had won "Best Action Game" at the Shareware Industry Awards, I thought "these guys must not have been gamers in the '90s or they would know that this is AstroFire".

Then I played the game, and wow! You have totally revitalized that game and are very deserving of the award. I guess this is another example of the staying power of a simple, addictive concept?

The first demo mission has you squaring off with a few buddies against a few baddies, and that whets your appetite. That's fine. But then once you get to the third demo level, you begin to see amazing things.

And the game looks so GOOD while it's doing this, that it truly winds up being a near-awe-inspiring experience. Then you play ten missions or so, and are in love with the game. You're flyin' around, chasing bad guys, and taking down HUGE capital ships by shooting at them ten thousand times.

After the twentieth mission, it's still cool, but you're starting to wonder, is this it? Going up to gigantic capital ships and holding down the fire button for ten minutes? After the fortieth mission, you have your answer.
