The only kinds of platform games I go for are the action-adventures, like Prince of Persia... I'm not sure Apogee would go for a platform game at this point. Indeed, they dropped the idea of making Duke Nukem Forever a platform game, due to public outrage and the fact that side-scrollers don't sell very well on the PC. --- Maximus 3.01 * Origin: BitByters BBS, Rockland ON, Can.

Thanks. You may want to give him a shot sometime in the future, if he's learned his lesson. By the way, do you play any of 3D Realms' games much? --- Maximus 3.01 * Origin: BitByters BBS, Rockland ON, Can.

I agree 3D has far more realizem than 2d for graphics and all action I've played Duke Nukem2d and DN3D and nomourus other games which are in both 3&2d. To stay interested in a game nothing keeps the excitement of 3D. Mind you it would be nice if we could upload that are on SNES ,SEGA ect.on to computer format.
