I don't >think id would make a game they wouldn't play. > Yes. I read an article sometime back in one of those gamers magazine (the DOOM-II cover caught my eye). John Carmack said they really wanted to make a game they would play. Im sure the money they made/are making helps a lot. But from the article, it seems that they really arent interested in the money. He also said he usually gets tired of the game and wants to do it one better. That's why I am sure that Quake will be a real killer game. I wasnt too impressed with Heretic. Then again it wasnt directly from id. The graphics arent any better, Descent is nice, its an improvement. Dark Forces isnt bad either. Tom
