by the way... revolution software have actually released the PC version of BASS for freeware recently- http://www.revolution.com/
|
|
20:19:20
|
Davius

you need the ScummVM to play it, but it is worth the effort for the voice acting (which sadly isnt on the amiga version)
|
|
20:20:11
|

What is ScrummVM?

Freeware? Excellent, I shall have to investigate when I go home. If ever.
|
|
20:21:08

im not quite sure myself... but i believe it is a virtual machine for games produced by the SCUMM engine (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion)
|

BASS wasnt done with the SCUMM engine, but revolution let some ppl mess with it until it worked

Good god, there's a rumor that Disney are going to make 'Mary Poppins 2' with Queen Latifah as Mary Poppins

Soon as I get a recording studio sorted I can do my 2 pipe-line cd's, hopefully.

A home studio?

21:03:02

No :-P

Just 'a' studio.

I know someone who could get me a recording studio in Canterbury - thing is, 1. I don't have anything worth recording and 2. Canterbury is a buggery place to get to.
|
|
21:04:26
|
Kieran
|
I know someone, just a matter of when the hell I will have any time
|
|
21:04:37
|
Kieran
|
Have 2 people willing to partner up w/ me already.

My trouble is that I have all the equipment I need but my vocals are at best adequate, and that's after lots of retakes.
|
|
21:05:15
|
Kieran
|
Would not mind any guitar person :-)
|
|
21:05:37
|
Kieran
|
I tend to sing better without a guitar in my hand, gen because I like to move around a bit etc.
|
|
21:06:41
|
Malefact
|
I never do any performances. I much prefer presenting a completed recorded work.
|
|
21:06:43

There are quite a few songs I want to do other than my own.....Keiths selection being a good % of them (well not HIS, but his fav band, Alphaville)
|

21:06:52

Pooka_and_Becke

You can move about with a guitar you know, not forbidden...
|
|
21:07:23
|

Malefact: I would jump at the chance to do either, performances being my pref.

You can move far better without having a guitar to hold and play with.

all of above are text adventures

21:38:37

The range of text adventures I've played is rather limited.
|
|
21:38:46
|
Forester

They were much harder than point & click imo.
|
|
21:38:56
|
Forester

Because you'd have to guess words or phrases a lot
|

21:39:09

True, but if they'd decided on RISC to begin with, they wouldn't be in the mess they are now.

I didn't think RISC even existed back then.

I'm sure RISC was theorised about as much as thirty years ago.

Umm cloaks don't tend to cover the front area.
