    these guys like it....

    I played the original years ago, and it was great. I'm seriously considering getting this new version.

    Won't be a true experience until you Pirate a copy for yourself...

    :p :D
  • MundaneMundane Elite Ranger
    hmm...downloaded it, just like I copied the C64 and the Amiga version....Its not as funny as it once was, and I dont have a numeric keyboard on my laptop, so not that easy to play :)
  • MundaneMundane Elite Ranger
    Current conclusion is that "Sea Dogs" was a lot better...

    FYI

    I am/was the co- art lead on Pirates! It's really a great game -and I'm not just saying that!

    I was just thinking who cool it is that the old gang has a lot of product inthe channel right now: John Walker has the new LArry game, Stu is the Art Director on EQ2, and of course my aforementioned humble entry.

  • WOW cool Im defineatly gettin myself a copy now. :D Do they give you credit on the box cover?
  • WORFWORF The Burninator
    I saw the collector's edition in the shop the other day I nearly bought it. I wish I had now.

    Glad to hear from you Marc! I think Ill go ahead and pick up Pirates then :)
  • MarcMarc Zathras in Training
    No, I'm not credited on the box (only sid get's that distinction)

    Yes, Stu as in Stuart Compton.
  • Did you meet him, Sid that is? I gather hes a quiet guy based on the fact I've never read an interview from the guy.
  • MarcMarc Zathras in Training
    dude, I work with/for him (2 offices down). And yes he is quiet, but he does do interviews. Go to [URL=http://www.pirates2.com]the Pirates! site[/URL] for at least one (and my developer diary as well!)

    Care to give any hints as to whether we'll see a SMAC2? :D
  • MarcMarc Zathras in Training
    your guess is as good as mine
  • Trancendental Galactic Conquest? Hmm might be interesting... What would be the end goal though? There ain't much more than trancendence your pretty much godlike at that point. Nah thats end game I think. Maybe spawn your own solar system & form a whole series of planets & civilizations? Sounds more like MOO maybe.
  • LOL wow marc good job ... i loved that game.. and the grafix were up to snuff

    good to see that you are still afloat in the biz
  • Marc or any of you art fellas a friend of mine is looking to enter the field & wants to know what your average income is in a year. Thanks before hand.

    $10
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    Wow, that's significantly higher than I was expecting.
  • JackNJackN <font color=#99FF99>Lightwave Alien</font>
    Actually that's $10 Canadian...

    :rolleyes:

    Marc probably gets $12 for being a LEAD... :p
  • RhettRhett (Not even a monkey)
    :D Poor SOBs...
  • MarcMarc Zathras in Training
    Yeah, but I made $2.00 Canadian in bonuses this year. And my company is very generous... (actually, they are, I shouldn't slag them even in jest!)

    heh heh...

    It's good to hear some of us made it past the tragedy that was once Sierra...

    :D

    As for me, I can't get out of California soon enough...

    A few months wait seems like years...

    :rolleyes:
  • MarcMarc Zathras in Training
    Your're leaving CA? Didn't know that. Where are you headed?
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    The Middle of Nowhere. ;)

    I wondered why no-one had responded to my email about me being a lot closer to you, Scott Murphy, and John Walker in the coming year...

    :p

    oh well, yeah, plans are to probably semi-retire in Northern Tennessee (Cumberlands), buy some acreage and a nice Log home, all paid off, and work via the internet when possible (although working as a greater at Wallmart has an appeal as well...).

    For what we can sell the home here for right now, we can do all of the above and probably still have a nice chunk of Safety Net change in the bank.

    I'm just so sick of what this place and all of CA has become. Guess I'm mentally tired...

    :)

    Tennessee, Tennessee
    There ain't no place I'd rather be
    Baby won't you carry me
    Back to Tennessee

    Drink all day and rock all night
    Law come to get you if you don't walk right
    Got a letter this morning and all it read:
    You better head back to Tennessee, Jed
