Concerning Adi Dax's Quest II:

In response to both postings:
Aren't the holidays supposed to be a time of peace and goodwill?  You'd
never know it reading this list.  I agree that six times is a bit excessive
for posting a message, but Adi has apologized profusely, and I think everyone
is entitled to an honest mistake, so will you guys lighten up????  If it
bothers you that much, then exorcise your right to delete the offending
message and shut up!  I feel that about half of the messages on this
list are either redundant or they just don't pertain to me, but do you see
me flaming someone for those messages?  Nope.  Let's be a little more
forgiving, huh?  I will agree that I have screwed up in the past, like when
I first came on this list a few years ago and flamed someone for asking an
assembler-related question, but that was then, this is now.  Enough,
already!

Okay, now for my own responses to Adi's request (NOT DEMAND!) for a critique:

I played the game yesterday, after finally getting on to WUARCHIVE (it would
seem that wuarchive has been clamping down on use of resources; they're only
allowing 175 anonymous sessions, and last week it was only 100, instead of
the usual 200).  I played it and managed to get past the first level, but
the second level has me a bit stumped, esp. with the room with about
ten million monsters and four rooms with gold.  I can barely get to any of
the rooms without getting slammed.  At any rate, I like the game, especially
considering it's a first attempt at shareware.  I'll play it a bit longer
before deciding if I want to register, but I would like to call your
attention to the following bug:  When I die in level 2, I get sent back to
the beginning of level 2.  Well and good, but I keep dying as soon as I start
level 2 again, and have to press a bunch of keys at once to be able to load
my saved game up again.  Rather frustrating.  Other than that, the game is
pretty good.  My compliments.  One question tho:  What happened to Quest I?

P.S. Merry Christmas.  Drink Heavily.
