Hey, Thomas.
well like I said who ever decide to take on the project doesn't have to
do a retro remake, they can make a whole new game.
I just want to see an E.T. game for the blind.

Actually there are graphical retro remakes of a large number of games with
film licenses, including starwars, batman and indiana jones.
of course, these are all free. Probably if you wanted to make a commercial
game things could get quite sticky financially.
Btw, I've never played the eT! gam
Hi William.
I bought the extention myself. I've not had a long time to play with it as
yet sinse my parents were visiting over the past few days and I haven't had
a long period to sit down with the game as yet, though it looks great, and
I'd certainly recommend both the extention and the origi
Hi Dennis,
On the History channel they said that Atari not having standards and letting
just about anyone develop just about anything for their system lead to the
downfall of Atari.
BTW My Windows games have their title on the screen, but that is it. And
sighted people play the games at my p
I have taken the advice of the list members and installed the SQL server on my
windows xp sp 3 machine.
Now, Windows Update tells me that there are 3 security updates to the .net
framework. I have had automatic update turned on and set to download and
notify me of updates. I have gone to
Okay now I understand. When Tom was saying "blind people," he was saying
"blind people who aren't me." I gather that's what you're doing in the
message below, because I know for a fact you're blind, too, and you don't
mind a graphic in the game. Thanks for clearing that up.
Best,
Ryan

as far as those 3 updates go, that is not a problem with that SQL file, as I
haven't got round to trying that out yet, and am having exactly the same
problem. so it looks like the problem is with these 3 particular updates,
and am just ignoring them now.

Its that attitude that turns sighted people off listening to anything
the blind community has to say.
Apple took a step forward in making there products accessible with no
added cost to the consumer. True, there products are not cheap, but
your getting the best in parts. If you got the same type
If he wants to develop games for Apple and get them noticed by
sighted and they will be noticed. The Apple mags see to that. Then no

I was going to bring up this same story! Nice one Dark! :D
Atari's ET game was labeled as the worst game ever made by a handful of big
name video game magazines. When I heard the story about the excess games it
was that the company had ordered 5 million copies and only sold 1.5 million.

Somewhere is a glitch we cannot put our fingers on. So how about this.
remove all traces of entombed. Uninstall everything. Be sure to remove the
saved games folder. Once that is done, then try to reinstall 1.05b and see
what happens. The reason is that is if 1.02 was installed, the new ver
I was thinking if someone did create the game they could give it out as
freeware.

Hi Keith,
Yes. Microsoft SQL is only required for newer versions of Entombed. The
latest stable release, 1.02K, doesn't require SQL support.

Hi Michael,
Yes, that makes sense. You aren't actually asking for an exact remake of
the 1982 Atari game, but simply a modern game based on E.T. That makes
things much easier for the developer who ends up doing the project.
However, I still see one major complication here. I've managed to fi
Hi Dark,
Well, that er bin legend is only partly true. At the time E.T. was
released the movie was a huge success at the box office, and a lot of
E.T. merchandise t-shirts, toys, serial, you name it was a major
financial success. So the the developer who wrote the E.T. video game

Don't patronize me. It's really not necessary. I don't think I said
anything that would cause anyone to panic, or misinform anyone. Being

Hi Jim,
That's very true. A lot of people believe because Atari opened the
console to third-party developers and there were a number of
unsuccessful games released it lead to Atari's downfall. Atari got a
reputation for having very low quality games just when Nentendo was
beginning to come o
Hi,
Actually that's not quite true Re: The post 2 below. The screen curtain
does, in fact, turn off the screen on the iPhone and it goes completely
black.

Hi Ryan,
Correct. By blind people I was actually referring to those people who
disagree with the fact that images of any kind should be used to make
our products more marketable to sighted users. I'm a totally blind
person myself, but don't have any objections to using some graphics if

Hi Trouble,
That's an apt comparison. A lot of people gripe and complain about the
price of an Apple but they don't seem to realize the cost comes from the
fact Apple strives to use high grade hardware and software. That is why

Hi Jeremy,
Lol! The numbers keep getting worse. I did some research and the website
I consulted said 2,000,000 games produced and 100,000 buried. Now you

say it has to be the largest flop in history. :D

Hey, Thomas.
I had two other E.T. games, one was call E.T. The Interplanetary

In the game you play as E.T. going through different types of planets

level was a maze and at the end of
Hi Dark,
I'd agree with that assessment. The games written in the late 80's and
early 90's were some of the best games ever written and are among my
favorites. Mario Brothers, Castlevania, Double Dragon, Dragon Warrior,
Prince of Persia, Megaman, just to name a few really all got their start
Hi Yohandy,
Yeah, I sure do. E.T. has a rather well known reputation of being a huge
flop. As someone who owned that game in the 80's I can see why. Lol!
