Wow, going back a bit using Visual C 2.0.

I've a few docs similar to that all over my hard drives and discs. After I've finished polishing this current project I'm planning on doing a very much the same thing. All based on doing a re-make of this game -> http://captive.atari.org/ which has every last detail of what went into the game creation.

Sweet!
I try to make up these documents but mine lack structure and end up as a rambling collection of statements and ideas grouped illogically.

Its good to see the layout for a company that has done so well.
I'm gonna use it as a template.

amazing how different the game sounds in writing vs application.
I guess they had to sell it, and the game ambition "run around causing murder, mayhem and general chaos" doesn't sound very family friendly.

very interesting document, thank-you for sharing.

Sometimes I like to use words out of contents
