Yes, I know that I don't really have time to be playing games, but all work and no play, as they say... Anyway, I just finished playing "Full Throttle" from LucasArts and I have to say that I was REALLY impressed by this game. Very atmospheric, good music (if you're into Van Halen clone garage bands) and impressive animation. It's nice to see that the adventure game isn't dead, and as long as the writing and production is done at this level I don't really miss the `text adventure' style interface. It's more like the difference between reading a good book or seeing a good movie - they both have their respective abilities to entertain, and this is a movie you can even interact with. No, this has nothing to do with FreeBSD, really, I just needed to enthuse about it to somebody.. :-) As long as games like this exist, I suppose DOS will have its place as a program launcher for them. Sigh! Jordan
