Fistful + 3D LOTR demo

Just got it today. I really appreciate George's minimalist design,
cool font, and the use of the music or motif from Dark Tower. I of
course went straight for the manual and pressed 2 and 4 to start up 3D
LOTR Wink

... I didn't expect it to be stationary, but thats fine. I
went after the meca and shuriken they throw at you. On my first play I got
up to the orb that slings a huge 2x4 at you (I said "Whoa!") .. The 3D effect
is near perfect! I hope that the release of the game will have more action
and movement and be possibly made a little harder. Another aspect would be
possibly having a laser that loses power as while its tured on and regains
power as it rests. That could be shown with the shield meter, maybe?
Also, I hope the robots will go more than on direction and perhaps approach
and or change direction at random.

Even if there is no movement, it might be nice to at least be able to
rotate 360 and watch the cool mountain range change. It would be neat
to have two moons too Wink

Fistful is fun and a great improvement over the early 21 version that
went out (and subsequently field upgraded, very cool on your part George!)

Thanks again and keep at it!

Thanks Stephen. I will definitely consider the suggestions you've made
for the final version, and try to work in what I can. Doing the 3D
games adds a whole new set of limitations on what, and how much, can be
done.
