Grimrock

Slightly off-topic:

@Arctor: Y'know, it's kind of amusing... The legendary first gate of Dungeon Master, as depicted on your avatar, looks deceptively like an emblem taken from Transformers. Now we have a tribute to DM with Legend of Grimrock - and with so many people misreading the title for "Grimlock", we have again a connection to Transformers. Looks like the fates of Dungeon Master and Transformers are forever intertwined. Autobots, crawl out !

I think you're on to something! Of course, Atari ST low-res being what it was, in order to create a square avatar I had to distort that gate on the vertical, thus stretching it, and making it even more Transformer-y!

Would be a nice way to sabotage a group of monsters. Switch the allegiance of one in the back row and watch as he skewers his mates from the rear. Not possibly fun - that would be extremely insanely possibly fun.

Making monsters fight amongst themselves would be fun i should imagine!

Ive had a further thought on the issue of a suitable prize, how about a framed piece of Grimrock concept art signed by the Team, now that would be very nice!

Maybe the prize could be a playable Transformer race? I want Optimus Prime in my party!

Not sure 'Almost Human' could afford the licensing deal on that one! Also I dont think Optimus Prime would give much elbow room for other party members. I think this is a challenge to the modders out there!

Anyway now i just have a succession of bad movies directed by Michael bay in my head now so thanks for that

WOW Just found out, Optimus Prime is in there already!

Slightly more on the topic, a former colleague of mine (and Antti's, probably others too) is having an auction aiming to fund his own game company..

I think his Ion blaster might present some balancing issues

Nah, he'll just have to lean a bit to the left.
