From: Typo Ink

I'm officially doing the play by mail war thing. If you care to be in it,
please tell me. Tell me how many of each type of solider you want, who are
are warring on. weopons, color, name of army, and preference for your three
theme songs.

Soldiers (Max. of 30, unused can be used for extra items, but not weopons)

Footsoldier- Med.fighter always. Bad with weopons. Can't ride.

Calvary- (counts as two soldiers, one man, one kopay) Strong fighter, weak
off horse. Okay with weopons. Perfect rider. Kopays (Mounts) can
fight mediumly, but easily captured.

Weopon workers- Weak fighters, perfect with weopons and only people that can
use items. Fast, and okay mounted. Become mid
fighters on a kopay

Trained Artillery Kopays- Ultra strong, sycho cannon on back can grill a
whole brigade.Unfortunatly
they don't actually think, so they can
be enticed by carrots or cubes.

Trainer- (1 auto joins army, others can be got) Can't fight, but can convert
enemy kopays.

Weopons and items (Max. 3 weopons, 5 items, each 2 unused can be an extra
man)

Cannon- Kills up to 3 squares away. Weopon

Catapult- Kills up to 2 squares away. Injures up to 5 squares away. Destroys
buildings up to 5 squares away.

Lazer- Injures infinatly in one direction at a time. weopon

Lazoor- Lazer fence made of one 90 angle. Kills on contact. Movable. Held on
for 3 turns at a time.
5 square reach in 2 directions. Item

Carrots or cubes- used to convert kopays. Come in a set of five. Item

The soldiers come automatically-

5 inventors- make new weopons and items and armor

Kopay rancher- keeps unmounted kopays under rule

Kopay trainer- trains kopays to fight. Converts enemy kopays.

General- Does nothing, but if is killed, a new one must be appointed. If
captured, one demand must be followed, if appropriate.

3 surgeons- Docters. Help injured.must have three to work. More can be
drafted from towns.

The three themes are Win, Lose, March.Subj: Re:Getting caught up

Love the new C format. Very graphical and user friendly.

A Bhirsh level? I think that might ruin the game. Games that bash people
you don't like are usually annoying.

I have a theory on Bhirsh. I think he's a 9 year old loser kid, who's
downloaded MZX and a bunch of games, but can't program, so he want's to get
the passwords to our games so he can edit them, put his name on it and show
it to his friends, saying that he made it.

Oh and I agree that his dad is like Bill Gates. But then, he hasn't been on
for a while... (I think)

I sent him a message that said I'd give him the password if he'd work WITH me
on CotA. I think my trap worked, he hasn't responded.

Date: 96-03-02 15:02:53 EDT
From: Yapok Jr

The password to Castle of the Aardvarks is PICROSS, but like E said,
nothing's revolutionary. My programming for that one was warped.

I use passwords to prevent people from cheating in my games. I know the
temptation to look in the programming and figure out what to do next. In
action games, it's not important, but I make adventure games where the
challenge is figuring out what to do. Cheating ruins the fun of figuring it
out yourself. It hides "secrets" in the game, not programming "secrets"

I wouldn't care if Bhirsh edited my game, but I'd be pissed if he ruined it
and uploaded it on AOL.

The board is getting sickening. Just a whole lot of uninteresting junk. What
with the FTP's I can't keep track of new games. Oh well. Everything these
days are just demos. What good are demos anyway? The uninteresting junk is
good, because it will help me wean myself from the net.

MMG5 is good.

E's idea of programming levels is, well, bad. GJansen has better things to
do than read applications from us. And the titles won't mean anything. Just
because someone says you're good doesn't mean you are good. Let the people
make their own decisions about who to contact for assistance, etc.

Helios will, sometime in the near future, be merging with several other
companies (ZZTurbo/Zpower Productions or whats left of it, ZScope, ZZPheonix
(?), and others) there are a few reasons for this:
1) I'm getting sick of this: Here are the products Helios has released:

Wacky World
PDSS/PDS
MZXtra 1/2/3
Unga Khan 4
THE Robot Collection
Its The End Of The World!

Now, I may be missing some but these are COMPLETE products. For a
twenty-person company we've only made 9 products? And I've made 7 of them!

2) I'm leaving Helios and AOL in a few months when I get a new computer. Its
to expensive for to little of a reward. I'll take Reality Box, which will not
join Game Horizons, with me, in the hopes that it may become an actual
company.

Now, I'll make a deal with you, if you don't want to join Game Horizons then
release a game by the end of March. If I have five games from people other
than me I'll hold off my decicion until I have to leave. Don't complain about
having no time or ideas. If you don't care then just say so. I've had it.

Slimed was a really good idea. The other Helioser's should finish it.
Laxity should never be a reason to quit. I haven't done much work on BFPP
lately, but I'm not quitting. It'll go down in history as the best

MZX-tra was the BEST MZX mag. I'll miss it. There'll be other's (Crono's)
but not with the spiffy C format. *SNIFF*

Darn. Or else I didn't save. Whatever

Glad to hear that you won't be abandoning ship. I hate winning wars anyway.
WHen there's no empire to topple, a yapok watches doppler radio in order to

waste of your time. MZX is fine. The language is simple. X-Box will need
to be DIFFERENT to make the cut.

Um excuse me but what is this talk about the merger of Game Horiozions with
Helios. The contract I presented to E said that it was an ASSOCIATION NOT A
MERGER!!!!! Each side would have at use the other sides resources! Further
more I think that Helios and Game Horizions are lacking off! Game Horizions
(Old Z/Z Prod) used to have an average of 2-3 games out per month now we have
slowed down to almost 1 per 2 months! I think that if we all pool toghether
we can start getting out more games! Since I know most of us have 1-2 weeks
of vacation starting this today (Friday,March,29,1996) or sometime next week
I think we should start trying to push out more games. Don't get me wrong
speed has NO comparision to quality but we have to try to work a bit harder.
I also know that I haven't been programing much either but I am trying to
speed up. Okay now if this sounds like a stupid pep talk and you don't really
care ignore this message and think nothing of it,I am sorry for wasting your

After some thought I've decided that you can do Wired. BillCool (or whatever

be shareware) for Slimed will be $7.00 mostly so I can buy disks to send it
on. There will be at least two bonus packs which will be available only to
registered users and a Slimed development kit to make your own add-on levels.
Maybe more. I'm still thinking about how I'll split up the money but I doubt

Fallen GODS - Based on PDS, a DOOM style game. You explore a huge ship to try

TerraForm : The Hydrolife Project - SimCity on Mars. Build and maintain a
Martian colony for Hydrolife inc.

The Myths of Lasting (formerly Secret of Everwater) - FF3 style game.

All of these will most likely be for Win 95 and none will be Helios. I just

Lapti Nek! Hmm. That reminds me. I am now adding another game to my list.
Star Wars Trilogy.
Nobody has made ESB or ROTJ so, I will! My current games are like this.

Slap! (Unfinished, will work on if I get some support, it's an outdated
side-scroller)

Jamie Goes to College (Don't ask, It's a B-Day present for my big sis)

Star Wars: The Uprising (Read above! It'll be awesome, since I know A LOT
about SW)

The Beatles MZX (I need further contact from JDewbre before I start)

XA Training Kit (A kit for my Red Baron club, won't be publicly released)

Plugged (Just a concept, I won't probably do it myself)

Unplugged (Plugged's sequel, you have to TAKE APART the machines you make in
Plugged)

War (Losing hope. Everybody is leaving AOL.)

Oh Vell. Typo.

You know, you can get most of these peoples' games (mine included :) from the
AOL FTP. Just go to Keyword:FTP, click "Go to FTP," click "Other Site," and
type

users:/screenname

in the text box, where "screenname" is the person's screen name, all in
lowercase (correct me if this isn't necessary). Press Enter, and voila! All
of the kewl stuff the person has up.

Date: 96-04-14 22:31:55 EDT
From: SpelWeavre

I don't know what this has to do with anything, but due to the large number
of newbie (hahahahah! I'm not afraid to be politically incorrect!) ZZT & MZX
"programmers" (and I use the term loosely), I came up with an odd
half-solution. How about (and this would be a job for someone with a fast
modem), each time a newbie programmer comes into the message boards, etc.
area, asking for how to make an Object say something or something else as
ridiculous, someone should send these things to them via email:

For new ZZTers:
*Code Red
*Coolness
*Sivion Gold
*It's the End of the World!
*Super-Tool-Kit

And for new MZXers:
*Weirdness Chapter 1

(I can't think of much else that's finished and good enough. If anyone can
point me in the right direction, or at least hit me over the head with an
e-mail to jog my memory, I'd appreciate it.)

For either:
*M.Z.X-tra 1-3

I know there's not much in the MZX and "Either" departments, but so far this
is just an insane idea. Don't take me -too- seriously. If not sending the
actual games, at least one could state where to find the games on the above
list.

Comments or suggestions?

All you people who are leaving, I will upload your games to AOL once they're
done... Why am I posting in the Helios folder? Good Question.

Where the bloody loogie is Weaz? I might be forced to do Shadowbane alone if

Post two message about dung (both responses) and you get bombarded by a bevy
of badgering posts. Get off Barney 9651's case, please! I happened to find
her quoth amusing! And here's one of my own. "And now for the dung." That
was on a show that I saw in the distant past! Now feel free to attack me! I
can handle you! C'mon! I can tear out your throats with my bare teeth!

As for the dinosaur, you can all just shut up about it. The Purple Barney is
a guy in a dumb suit who acts on a little kids' show that teaches love,
learning, and moral values. Sure it's dumb! Sure it's childish! It's
supposed to be! If people want to publish programs online that mock, maim,
or harass Barney, that's none of my business. Personally, I don't mind a
little Barney-mocking, but it can get too far. You have to be a real loser
sicko to think that a screen saver depicting Barney's intestines pouring out
of his bleeding stomach (example) is funny.

I'd like to see kinder behavior towards all Barneys in question.

Date: 96-05-20 16:51:25 EDT
From: Yapok Jr

And now, his holyness, the pointiff of the Southern Chruch,
Pope Yapok XII, will deliver his sermon.

"Bee Fly Ptarmigan hath taught us to love thy brother, thy
sister, and thy wacky neighbor, for It be Parent of us all.
But heed my words, oh brethren: Our brother, the noble manatee,
is unloved. 'So What's up, ma brotha?" thou might ask.
What's up?! Sleazy motorboaters
have turned the peaceful lagoon waters red with the blood of our
friend! Curse them! May squinnies reside on their bedposts!
We must stop them before they slay our peaceful, lovable pal!
Many manatees bear the scars of this torment! There must be
no more scars! We must stop the motorboats! Only inflatable
innertubes may be allowed on the water! We must save the manatee!
Save the manatees! Please save the manatees! Show some compassion!
Send him our love! Love the manatee, care for the manatee, and
save the manitee! Make haste!"

-Pope Yapok XII.

Upcoming Games:

Warlord's Temple, an awesome RPG in which you fight the evil
forces of a dark lord. Features better graphics than COOLNESS,
an RPG fighting system, a never before done magic system, and
a ton of surprises and special effects. Look for it within the
next few months. E-Mail dbwilli@scsn.net if you have any
questions, or for more info.

Earthquake in the Underground, a very original adventure game
in which you live in an underground city and an earthquake
occurs! You must escape the rubble covered imprisonment before
it's to late! E-Mail dbwilli@scsn.net if you have any questions

In defense of MAJJ, ZZTOmega, MAJJ has been here waaaaaaaay bleedin' longer
than you have. Respect your elders. He's made TONS of ZZT games. TONS. Try
a file search on MAJJSoft. See how many ZZT games come up. PLUS, MZX wise,
there's Party On, Oozey, King's Castle 1, and a slew of other crud in the
works. I don't see any of your games popping up. Let's take a look at a
contradiction in terms in your last post:

<Let's see one of your games MAJJ, I bet it SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If

Hmm... Isn't this somewhat hypocritical? "losers...make fun

Date: 96-05-30 23:17:30 EDT
From: Yapok Jr

Just noticing that this line of messages has nothing to do with "Interview
with the Vampire" which I haven't seen. I saw "Vampire in Brooklyn" on TV
once. It was a crappy action movie.

I don't believe in Newbies.

This "Don't bug other people about their games/newbie/crap" discussion is
boring. It's on the mailing list and on most of the boards. I have nothing
enlightening to say on the subject. ZZTOmega isn't a newbie. No-one is a
newbie. They don't exist. Beginners exist. People who haven't published a
game exist. Yellow border programmers exist. BHirsh clones exist. There is
no such thing as a newbie.

Oh, and this "Oh yeah, I bet you my game is better than yours" thing is
stupid. Kinda funny how when someone's games are criticized, they attack the
other person's. I've never played any of ZZTOMEGA's, but I've played of few
of Majjsoft's, which ranged from crumby to above average. My games are NOT
better than yours. Humble me. Gnat. Gnu. Gnarled.

A few comments on 'Oh, Gee', since I'm bored. Yes, I actually downloaded and
played it. I won't say anything about the reviews cuz that's your personal
opinion, and you already explained why there were so few.
Pros: A mag with ok reviews, none of their own games
In game games
No yellow borders
No (big) typos
Wise Man section
Cons: Oh, gee, another mag
Needs some S-T-K/blending (ex: Sivion, Coolness, type ansi)
No boards of games reviewed
Give it up with the plants already! At least ZPower/ZZTurbo tried
to spice 'em up by adding liddle messages and #zaps.
What is this fascination with awards of some sort? First,
trophies, now, medals! I mean, medal merit shouldn't be based
solely on the *s it gets, but on the reviewers own
opinion. Plus, the medals look cheesy. Make 'em bigger! Use the blending
techniques from ZZTHelp on 'em.

Lessee... Other games in there....
5 Stupid Dogs. Didn't Lassie02 (the author) use to post in here about how to
find help (press H)? Didn't bother to download. Thought it would suck. NOT
SURE, tho.
Forever: "This game is mostly fighting", aka: LIONS, TIGERS, BEARS,
(::sigh::, I'll have to say it, oh my!) RUFFIANS, built in enemies with
different names.
Mask of Cortez: Sort of like the original good ZZT games. No S-T-K, but
excellent gameplay and puzzles. Annoying register messages. Super locked
(big whoop).
Eileen: Short, but ok. 3 endings. Interesting strategy for gameplay: get
the other people to shoot each other.
Attack of the Killer Shrooms: Lots of fighting in this one. Sort of like
Fred! 2, but with less graphix, storyline. Ok.
Captain N: POINTLESS fighting, w/ minimal plot. Based on Mega Man and the N
team.
Jail: Yellow bordered (I think). Interesting implements of torture.
Mother Assault v2: Excellent game by RoboJim. Really great programming.

BellAtlantic? Huh! You obviously haven't heard the horror stories about
getting ISDN down here in Aiken, South Carolina ... now Aiken isn't a small
town, it's a city of pretty respectable size. However, it takes the fools at
BellSouth a freakin' WEEK to see if you're within three miles of the central
office and thus eligible for ISDN! Last year (well, August) the vice
president of the Aiken computer users' group applied for ISDN. Last month,
he finally got it! (That's all I can remember from listening to a
conversation he had between two other people at the users' group meeting last
month - I didn't pay too much attention)

Zed-Omega: The last letters in two languages, Australian-English and Latin.
Is that supposed to mean that you are the last great ZZT company? I won't
dispute that, since I no longer like ZZT. Let me know when you kick some
butt ;).

Maturity: What an interesting topic. Many people think of maturity in
physical and sexual terms, but in terms of intellectual and emotional
maturity, they don't got it. We superior people who waste our time typing on
our computers know that we have the advantage in real life.

We don't HATE ZZT....

We just HATE the pathetic people who try to make pathetic (referring to
yellow boards etc) games on it. I like ZZT but I just can't get all the
features I want on it.

I can list a couple of +'s to have on it...

+ You can make good games WAY easier on ZZT than MZX
Reason: you don't have to worry about MODS Character editing etc....
+ You can have blinking stuff
reason: I dunno.. Greg just didn't put it in.
+ Wayy cool torch feature.
reason: you have that spotlight-like feature
+ More games...
Reason MZX isn't that old

And the negitive side of ZZT

- No cool character editing
- Too many cheezie games out there for it
- no character switches
- Almost impossible to have a smooth side scroller
- bland sounds

Ok... I've listed them... Add or subtract what ever you want

I've seen a lot of ZZT bashing in my day. All these ZZT IS DEAD messages,
along with MZX WILL BE DEAD messages are pessimistic and irritating.
Occasionally, I find an OK ZZT game that reminds me of the good ol' days when
ZZT was more fun. I don't really like ZZT anymore: it's too restrictive, the
games tend to be repetitive, the graphics are lousy. However, ZZT is my
friend. Sniff. I will remain hyper-critical of ZED-OMEGA until I see
something out of 'em. I hate companies. You burocratic fat cats will never
quit arguing in your board meetings, will never cease your paper pushing, and
will never produce a game. Down with Capitalism and Democracy and all that
jazz. Never mind the previous two sentences.

You are so wrong. The Great Big Char Fad of '96 was when everyone was trying
to make games where multiple characters where placed adjacent to each other
so that it appeared to make one big boss/player/etc.

The Uppressed War was when everyone was arguing about whether the Up key or
an alphanumeric key should be used for jumping in sidescrollers.
