Keep up the good work and please keep on writing (tried to comment something similar on a previous post, but it didn't seem to work. If it did and I missed, interpret as double enthusiasm).<br /> <br />Lascahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06569076959192305289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-35780994191586480002014-12-09T07:35:28.922+11:002014-12-09T07:35:28.922+11:00Ah, I had forgotten about that scene in Clerks!
M...Ah, I had forgotten about that scene in Clerks!<br /><br />My comment was less about how you man a spy base or moon-sized space station, rather how do you BUILD it? It is either an island that was drilled out and given massive hydraulics to raise and lower or it is entirely artificial and given the look of an island to fool passing ships. Of course, thinking about it is silly, but exactly how does one build bases like these?Joe Pranevichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12997014242774219758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-19510829818685885712014-12-09T07:18:41.710+11:002014-12-09T07:18:41.710+11:00They obviously don't hire quality workmen, bec...They obviously don't hire quality workmen, because these sorts of evil bases fall apart with the smallest amount of damage!Andy_Panthrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18231815646876343380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-49309922832181220112014-12-09T05:13:35.293+11:002014-12-09T05:13:35.293+11:00It's funny reading your post all I could think...It's funny reading your post all I could think of is, he is going to blow up the base what is to become of all the innocent subcontractors..... Then I see this quote:<br /><br />How did they keep the hordes of construction workers and suppliers that would have been required to build a base like this quiet? This would be one of the great engineering marvels of the 20th century!<br /><br />Awesome.....

I might not feel the same way today.<br /><br />But there is an easy way to test that theory: http://www.gog.com/game/another_world_20th_anniversary_edition<br /><br />That said, I actually enjoyed this game quite a bit, but I soured on the ending for sure.

Another World is nothing short of bloody aggravating - but because it relies entirely on imagery to further its story, it works. This fails because they have to use puzzles and words, not aliens and platforming.Aperamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13669724908141286435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-91248019433669871932014-12-07T23:23:14.382+11:002014-12-07T23:23:14.382+11:00Congratulations!

I can't imagine ever completing the game without using a guide, some of those puzzles are awful.<br /><br />However, I can still see this game scoring reasonably well, if only because the setting and graphics are quite good for the time.
