fuzmeister: Hate To Burst Your Balloon, But...

Amazing graphics are no match for amazing gameplay!

So yesterday's post was an April Fool's joke. No one apparently was affected by it. That either means you don't care about S+F Software or you didn't read my Vent post. Shame on you either way! Ha ha.

Today I was browsing the anals of ticalc.org and I came across a game by Andreas Ess called Balloon for the TI-85 and TI-86. I never actually had either of those calculators, but, man, this game was pretty darn impressive. The idea itself just really made me warm with nerdy delight.

I have decided to try and contact Mr. Ess someday and either remake this game for the computer or create one hell of a clone.

Love to all,
Steve

I suspected April Foolery, but didn't want to remark on it in case you were really contimplating the death of you beloved game development.

Well, I don't read Vent every day or anything, so I'm just seeing your April Fool's post now, on the 3rd, after you've posted this one.

I've heard you talk about stopping S+F enough times over the years that I might possibly have taken it seriously, though I think even I did, I would expect that you'd start it up again or something.

S+F will always continue to be around as far as I'm concerned. With how uncertain the current lineup is, it's hard to really pinpoint any finite members besides myself, Brandon, and you. Honestly - it's kind of like this big rotating thing and everyone's either getting on or getting thrown off my some weird gravitation.
