That's another long distance bus-driving game that might have influenced me more: <A HREF="http://www.mobygames.com/game/msx/payload" REL="nofollow">Payload</A>, for MSX. It was one of the games that impressed me more when I was a kid. <BR/><BR/>Krystian: I'll try to check it out. Maybe it's published on-line somewhere. (Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance has one <A HREF="http://virtualschool.edu/mon/Quality/PirsigZen/" REL="nofollow">here</A>)<BR/><BR/>Thank you both for the input!Chico Queirozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285547874562596857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27428751.post-62243836585172180902009-02-02T03:37:00.000-02:002009-02-02T03:37:00.000-02:00Your comment on a long-distance driving game immed...Your comment on a long-distance driving game immediately brings to mind Desert Bus:<BR/><BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penn_&_Teller's_Smoke_and_Mirrors#Desert_BusAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27428751.post-24576818499776925262009-02-01T17:51:00.000-02:002009-02-01T17:51:00.000-02:00Oh yeah, the similarity of the two entries eluded ...Oh yeah, the similarity of the two entries eluded me but you are absolutely right!<BR/><BR/>You certainly have to read the book. But don't worry - it's very short. Only 100 pages or so.Krystian Majewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11575248324136515649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27428751.post-23363850143316469682009-02-01T08:23:00.000-02:002009-02-01T08:23:00.000-02:00Thank you very much for the support and the podcas...Thank you very much for the support and the podcast idea contribution :).<BR/><BR/>I really enjoyed your Solaris as well (I`ve just finished reading it). It seems that discussion-themed games actually could be a untaped niche!<BR/><BR/>As I have seen Soderbergh, I was thought I was familiar with the plot, but apparently I will have to read the actual thing, uh?<BR/><BR/>Take care!Chico Queirozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285547874562596857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27428751.post-323745668327541932009-01-31T22:31:00.000-02:002009-01-31T22:31:00.000-02:00Haha!

I love it!<BR/><BR/>Even better: the MMO version where players could record philosophic podcasts while driving through longs stretches of virtual desert. And then other players could listen to it while driving.Krystian Majewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11575248324136515649noreply@blogger.com
