Question...

[BLKCat]

I appreciate your comments... but here is a direct quote from the read me file in Wizards and Warriors... "ALT+TABing out of a game is not a supported feature by Activision." Sounds to me as if they not only publish the games, but make some of the rules... which is only fair afterall! I think it a minor inconvenience really, I did not mean to make it sound like such a big deal. I think the option to play in a window (as BG2 allows) would be good also. Just my personal preference though. I appreciate the effort that goes into making a game, and would much prefer quality gameplay and storyline to the convenience of the ALT TAB function. Whew... enough said from me!

I know what you mean. I read the story about Surreal and Psygnosis regarding Drakan: Order of the Flame. I understand that when a group works under the supervision of a software publisher works on a basic set of rules placed by the publisher. In some occasions it is a good thing, in many others it is not.
Unfortunately, or fortunately, we, the users, have to live with it.

Anyway, I never wanted to sound so harsh on my posting, sorry. I am not the defender of games (I have played so many over the years that I realized they are only games), but lately I 've got a little tired by people (not you) who whine(is this correct?) about the bugs, the problems, the little things that they didn't like, the hardware requirements and so on, and they never say a thing about all the good stuff that the developer put in the game. I have heard it from all kinds of people, Home users, power user, programmers (once, after a two year cource in programming some years ago I had the stupid idea that I was one), and people who think that a computer is just a paperweight. I believe that you can understand my position.
