    If you dont know DOS, you dont know Windows...

      i like eds.bat, version 1 seems to work well, their is one bug though, it crashes sometimes using level 9 forest, and version 3 .. "couldent find a version 2" looks good i like the intro but it wont let me login..

      took me a minute to understand devcoms game, more then a minute at first that beeping was driving me banannas.. but after i figured it out it seemed well made, i still dont think im playing correctly though what do i do change the "*" 's to "I" 's?


      i just started untitled "beyond realms of *censored*" ,  a little more then a week ago i dont have alot of time available to do it, but so far ive already put 6 hours into it.. roh versions a-e , including the ones i accidently deleted i only had around 2 hours into them combined, my next version of the game will include this
      -room files,(no more duplicated room code, a file containing a list of variables to set instead)
      -different interface (not cluttered anymore)
      -processing section, instead of going .. from point a - next room, you go point a - point b - next room, its made for some improvements.. including (weather,Mood,anti-cheating,destroyed areas,disabled areas,weapons,weapon information, inventory ,sleep , plus all the old features, and teleport , plus magic , plus potions ,attack , get items , sit , stand , full armor including (helm,arms,neck,fingers,gloves,torso,chest,legs,boots) amount of kills , amount of deaths.. GAME TIME , with an end of the world.
      -time device
      -enemy creation
      -area creation

      What system are you running on, and did you try creating a new account, or using the old one? Because when you get the new version it uses your old account unless its saved on a different drive.

      As for area creation, I was thinking about adding a similar feature in EDSV4. I didn't think about monster creation, but that could be cool. I was thinking of renaming monsters, something unique, like by species. The level creation would be quite strict though... I think I'll work on a little something for that now... I mean of course you wont be able to place creatures or money because that would be cheaty...

      oh, and about devcom's pheonix, i cant use it because of choice. you chould use what i use:

      set /p variable=Choice:
      if '%variable%'=='1' GOTO whatever
      if '%variable%'=='2' GOTO whatever2

      this is more widely accepted...

          Ok, I have tested the game that devcom made and I really think that you should get rid of the errorlevel and stuff like that because the future is coming. But nice game though. I have choice and errorlevel so I'm fine, but I do not like to use them for some people's sake.

          If you want to make a team say that you want to and I think we could think of something,

            but without choice it hard to move in it... thats why i use choice. If ill convert my game to exe i will attach choice to it and if computer doesnt have that option it will copy it to C:\Windows\Sytem32
            Download: Choice.exe

            hey tan_za, i think i will do the team thing. I dunno, i think we should build a website for it and host all the teams games as well as individual's games. Although I have no idea what this game would be of. maybe when EDSV4 drops you will like some of my new features. I came up with stuff for the update today, now I just have to code it all.

                  Well, yes I think the tank tcp/ip game will be good except scrap the color. In batch I think you can only have one color, so yeah. Ok my xfire account name is tanzalince.

                  Oh and here is my tank game. Follow the help file,

                    Hey guys, Me and Devcom have decided to make this team thing. We need as many more people as we could possibly need. We do only really need 3 more people so first in with good skills is in. To join you must post an example of a game made in dos to me and Devcom.

                    Thanks,
