oh neat. Maybe within the next decade I'll remember to actually talk about it to some people. Even though it almost certainly didn't influence anything, I feel it's a pretty important footnote in the history of games that combine loot, network play and nuanced level design - in a sense, it's one of the earliest examples of a pseudo-genre that games like Dark Souls, Borderlands or any number of other games are based around. It's also one of those fascinating first-person games inhabiting the space between Wolfenstein/Doom 2D and Quake/Unreal 3D, and...man, I don't need to tell you these things, you probably know the game inside and out.
Speaking of which, I had a question I was going to ask you about the game and the different versions of it, but I seem to have totally forgotten it now. Was it about the original demo? Or maybe it was to do with the TCRF article.... ah, who knows. I'm sure if it was worth doing you did it, or plan to do it.
Here's hoping things turn out well for this project!

You've..... watched... the trilogy?? Yet you seem to have kept your mental health at a very decent level... How in the world?

Also, it isn't a trilogy. There are 4 books and 5 movies.

Eh? Five movies? Whaddya mean five movies? They're still going to make two more?
Good gawd have mercy on us all. It's the end up times I tell you. The end of times!
Oh, wait. That happened already. :p

I'd say the website in its current form lacks some important information, it would be nice if they included some info on the original development team and the first releases of the game, who the current guys behind the release are (the same team, some new guys etc.?), what is the current release's license (I fancy it's included in the archive but anyway).
BTW leilei, do you have some form of feedback with the developers?
