why The Mind Maze ?

After seeing how many people "cracked" it and such, it deserves some explanation as to it's existence.

Firstly, the name's a damned give-a-way "The Mind Maze" - TMM.

Secondly, I wrote it all in Turbo Assembler (including GFX & music) in 2 hours one Sunday. The music player was Falco Pauls - he sent me a load of tunes in ASM and I just loved his sexy player, everything else by myself.

I wrote TMM for one reason - something to be put out by the sceners. I just got sick of everyone constantly asking me for originals, and recracks of lame games being spread - so I made TMM for the soul purpose of being cracked ...

... although NONE of them i've seen so far have the original TMM intro on it ;)

It was actually Derbyshire Ram who inspired me to write it more than anyone/anything else. I read in a post he's no longer with us - can anyone verify this for me ?

The other week, I was playing "Black & White" - and in there is a little section with trees that do EXACTLY what TMM did - I laughed, mostly as I knew it was hardly any kind of challenge :D

It was released WAAAAY before it was sold by EBES.

The thing I liked most was the music though - I keep thinking "maybe today i'll do a proper cover on a MOD, maybe make it better" ... that day's not come yet though :(

Quoting That funny guy
Although I also read somewhere that "wars" had stopped and everybody was nice.

\:-D/ You seem to be delusional. You will fit in here very well with the rest of us.

Just thought i'd bump this up.

Excuse me - im very drunk ATM so I thought it'd go kinda like this.

Barry Always told me when I was being a total fucking prat - which was a lot of the time.

He'd also call me a southern pansy for "crying" or "being upset" at him passing on.

He laughed his balls off at wars - and knew it was just really childish bollocks.

There was some fewl who took it upon himself to start a war against Barry.

Yeah = we talked on the phone a lot and I feel like a heel for being the last cunt to know he passed on.

But you guys making me feel bad - IT WORKED !

But there's one thing Barry knew about computers, and it was his secret he passed to me.

Wanna know what that secret was ?

It went like this ... GET OUT THERE IF YOU CAN !

He'd let me know if I was being a stupid twat - which was most of the time. we're talking years ago guys. Don't let the bollocks of what the C64 said was the winners.

Yes - now I know i've Aspergers Syndrome - to him - I was just another lost soul. He cared. Do the guys who post here care ? Not many - but enough.

Interesting PM:

Blame? No! But your request to have proof of his death was a bit ... ahem ... strange?

No, this is CSDb. Let the unrelated picture posting ensue.

E3: last time I spoke with Barry (2004) he talked a little about you and I can confirm your previous words, he still thinks you are/were a prat.
