Hello Tom. I would vote for the faster game release. Meaning, I would suggest you stick to what you have already rather than restarting the code. The reason I say this is not to leave out those users who have problems, but rather thinking of those users who have been waiting a while for the games to come out.
Perhaps in a later version you could rewrite the games, but I would guess that most users who have been waiting already as it is would rather see the games sooner than later. I realize of course that if you finish the games now that a rewrite for a future version would be a lot more work so of course that is something to consider. Thing is, people who run old computers like win 95/98/me are behind the times. When other companies, and I don't mean accessible ones, make new games, they will be making them for the current operating systems. This is nothing personal, but rather, life. I tell anyone who still uses win 9x that although it might cost some money to upgrade, it's just a fact that their system is old and if he/she wants to play the latest games or run the latest applications, one needs a newer computer and a newer operating system. What I would suggest is to perhaps pick a release date of DirectX and .net and stick with that for the game release. Let's say for example, if a DirectX version comes out February 1 2007 this year, use that and even if the game is not ready until November this year, make it so the game will work with that version and above. This gives people a long time to make sure they have the files they need to run the games. Again, let me be clear to anyone reading this. I'm not saying if you are running an old computer and operating system, that it's just too bad. I'm simply saying that reality here is that Windows 9x is out and windows 2k/xp/vista is in. I would bet that most everyone is running at least 2k or xp. And really, being honest here, an XP operating system has dropped in price over the last year or so, and will continue to drop with Vista coming out. All the best. -- Raul A. Gallegos ...
