I love RMS just like everyone else. But this has got to stop. Does he really know what evil he hath wrought? He, not Oppenheimer, should be saying “I am become death, destroyer of worlds.”

I like the code of this simple game. I’m curently programming yet another clone of Dungeon Hack in nCurses, so nInvader will be really useful for me for comparing two “modern” curses based games.

Hi,
I am desperatly looking for the JA2 patch that was avaliable on the tribsoft site. The site is down now, and I cant find the patch anywhere.
If you know where to get it,
Or you have it and want to send it to me
Or you know Mathieu Pinards email address, so I can ask him,
Please reply to this comment, and help me out.
Thanks in advance

Well, it’s official. Emacs is a platform. And a better one than Java. ;^)

Seriously though, I wonder if this “Grizzly Team” group/company/whatever actually got permission to include those actor’s faces in the game? I mean, with the money that Bruce Willis pulled in (see his bio on imdb.org), he could make life uncomfortable for the developers. Same with the other actors.
Anyway, the game looks ok I guess. The models look decent and the screenshots look ok. Its more-or-less just like the “Kill the Zombies” levels of RTCW. If the game is under $20, I’ll try to scrape together some money for it.
