Midnight Mansion and the Great Games Experiment

[sherryl199]

I was unable to figure out how to write a review of MM, so I wrote to the 'Contact Us' address Saturday PM EST. So far no answer. Apparently you do need to register to vote because when I got to the site today, it knew who I was and wouldn't let me vote again >

I logged in (registered first), but still couldn't find out how to rate ???

Jeepers, Vern. You're just a puppy!

Funny, it's the same picture that comes with the game. I guess no one clicks on About screens anymore?

Anyway, yeah, that picture is a few years old, and I look particularly young in it for some reason. I have more recent pictures, but none of them are very good -- all pretty bad quality, so I have to go with the old one whenever I'm posting something.

Here's one I took just now, with PhotoBooth, and the built in camera in my iMac. Not the greatest quality, but I don't look quite as young as in the other picture.

Indy

, and one that says

Montezuma Retro Dungeon Dark Castle 2D Platforme

. That doesn't seem right, because it's all one tag (and

platformer

is spelled wrong). Shouldn't it be a bunch of seperate tags?

Thanks for the tip. It's fixed now.

[Psychotronic]

Cool. Now you need to add

adventure

and

casual

to the tags, so people looking at Within a Deep Forest or Cave Story will get referred over to MM. Those two games would be very good company.

Geez, I never knew you were that young, Vern !!

Makes it even more impressing that you created MM.....

Oh Yikes, Vern - I apologize profusely if my comment about your youthful looks was in any way offensive. It was not at all meant to be.

Like aquaMat said - makes your achievements all that more impressive.

No no, nothing offensive. :-)

I'm probably older than I look? (I'm 28) People generally think I'm a bit younger than I am when they meet me in person. Although I was 22 when I started work on Midnight Mansion. (Same time I started college.)
