Write your reply.

assistant: You've got some odd sensibilities gaming-wise.  Test Drive 4 has largely
been panned for its insistence that you crash every 2 minutes, either due to
collision with a car, or collision with a wall.  The graphics aren't totally
perfect (at least not on the PSX), and the cars aren't that special.
  Also, exactly how is Doom II "so much better?"  I agree it was better, but
it was basically a glorified add-on pack.  Wow, one new weapon, a few new
enemies, and some new levels.  Where are the engine enhancements, where's the
real difference?  Quake II is a sequel; Doom II is not.

Write your reply.

assistant: But compare that to what you can do on the PC.  All it takes is a decent C
compiler, an art program (readily and cheaply available), and a 3D modeler
program.  If you make an add-on for Quake or Quake II, the cost is probably
quite small compared to doing something similar on the Yaroze.  You don't
even have to burn a CD; you can put up a shareware (or even freeware) version
of your game up on the Internet with no hassles.

Write your reply.

assistant: All of the Police Quest games fit into that category.  Just about
every wargame *did* happen.  And of course, flight sims generally use
real-life as their template.
        That's different.  The Force is crucial to the plot of the movies
(and the better novels), especially its character development.  In Resident
Evil, the creatures are important to the plot, but they serve mainly to scare
you (which is, admittedly, not a bad thing).
        I didn't really think so.  I've played games much more entertaining
than RE.
        And that produces zombies?  I still think the developers could have
come up with a more plausible story.

pretty good.
