I believe I saw two guys playing the Wolfenstein game in a video arcade a long time ago. Like 15 years ago, maybe. Your programmers & artists must have done something right because I remember seeing one bad guy fall to the floor after getting shot and I thought, that guy’s not dead. There was just something about the way the “not dead” guy fell to the floor that was “different” from the other guys that got shot, fell and never got back up.

Sure enough, the two players walked right past the “not dead” guy, who got up and started shooting them in the back.

I never played the game though. It cost more for a 5 or 10 minute game than I was prepared to spend at that time. I think the first $1 games were coming out at that time and I was balking at paying that much.

Yeah, they don’t teach you this stuff in school. Its all nice and easy.

The real world is much harsher. Kinda like playing Quake with a rubber knife.

“On my first day of work, I was handed Deluxe Paint (no manual), 3D studio (I think it was R1 or R2), and Animator Pro (no manual). I was then told “to figure it out”. What fun!”

Oh man. I have SO been there. At the time, I thought my boss was just sadistic… sadly, I soon realized he was training me for the reality of working in the industry. Heh.

Yeah, I’d keep the shot with the pipe. Yup. *nods sagely*
