Hi there, Marko, and thanks for writing to me. It was great to hear from you. Now, before you scratch your head and doublecheck your Outward Mail basket, no, I guess you didn't KNOW you were writing to "me". Your incredible game, and its .DOC file which I've just read fully twice, were written for EVERYONE. But not "everyone" will reply like me! Gosh, Multix (v2.02) really blows me away. Over the years I've collected over 50 various tetrises (not counting the dozens I've had but chucked out) - and tonight I went searching for more on the Internet. Well, I now have about ANOTHER 50, which will take me WEEKS to carefully check through, tidy up, catalog, playThis is a part of Ian's rereply to his message., and install on my 386dx40 here. As I go through I find many absolute "junk" ones, some going back to the 80s, ranging right up to SUPERB ones. And yours must definitely be in that latter category. Gosh, the graphics of course are breathtaking, but I always say it's the actual PLAY that counts. Well, that's simply excellent too, as is the documentation. I'm truly amazed (and that doesn't happen often!). You've done a fantastic job. :-) I really enjoyed reading all your DOC file, and thank you for including a little personal information about yourself. I'm 51, retired and/or unemployed, and spend most of my time "playing" on my 386dx40. I used to be a professional programmer, and analyst, since 1966 (back when our machine filled a large room, and had a massive 96K of RAM!!). I really look forward to spending a large part of 1998 trying to master all the different modes of Multix. THANK YOU again, Marko. :-)
Well I've had some years on BBSes, dragging in zillions of games, utilities etc, but never really having any sort of access to their creators (apart from snail [yuk!] mail). But now at last (for 6 months or so) I'm on the Internet, and find it's just so easy to correspond. Not for everything by any means, but just occasionally when I come across something I really feel is "special". And in my view Multix IS "special". A work of art, and beautiful craftsmanship - a joy to behold (and to PLAY!). As I guess I've said, I'm very very grateful to you, and others like you, for providing such absorbing and intelligent programs - and offering them freely. I simply can't understand the motivation behind such offerings, but I'm certainly not complaining. > By the time you master the Multix, I might make a new version. Hahaha, are you joking ? I'll NEVER "master" it - that's what I love about good games - there seems no limit to how long one can continue improving one's scores. (But I must admit, I DO get a bit "tired" of any game after a while). By the way, I took Multix to my daughter's on Christmas day, and we hardly saw her for the rest of the afternoon. SHE knows quality when she sees it, too! (Both my daughters - 20 and 18 - are mad tetris freaks like me).
