another beginning

this is a post about a video game that consumed my life from 1984 to 1988. I didn't play it, I was programming it. But there was a problem, computers were not far enough along for the game to work.

A lot of time has passed but the passion for completing the game is stronger than ever.

My inspiration from the Apple iie that was my life:

• Exodus Ultima III (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultima_III:_Exodus )
• Elite (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elite_(video_game) )
• Santa Paravia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Paravia_en_Fiumaccio)
• Odyssey, the Compleat Apventure (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odyssey:_The_Compleat_Apventure)
• (the above is not a misspelling)
• Aztec (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aztec_(video_game))
• Taipan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taipan!)

I'll go further in the next posts about the game. It will take a while to explain.
