Meh.. I found the site of AT's producer and fire off an -email.. wonder if he'll reply?
There's an interesting mention of trying to get permission to make it abandonware........... *keeps fingers crossed*
My day is brightened by the fact that I'm slowly getting parts for my new computer. Have my hands on the CPU already, the Motherboard and PSP and ddrRAM should arrive tomorrow. Hope I can make do with my current case, or I'll have to wait til next week before assembling it.
It's a very cheap-o sollution, I'm basically keeping all the old parts possible, but hey, as long as it works... :)
Apart from that, I had a lazy weekend... didn't do much at all. Watched the pilot and 3 eps. of the new Startrek. Decent I guess, but the opening score..? *shudder*.
Also started playing a wonderful game called Azrael's Tear. I've had the demo for ages, but never found the full game (it's from '96), until now. It's a really good adventure-game with some action packed in. It's close on the heels of System Shock and Thief when it comes to atmosphere, at least closer than any other game I've played. The only drawbacks I can complain about (so far) is that:
1) the interface feels restricted
2) the sound is a little glitchy sometimes
It is also a hard game, it's not giving you many clues so you really have to think for yourself. And it's not failsafe.... it's quite possible to really mess up. I like that. I hate the 'baby-sitter' adventure games that wont let you go wrong. I remember a particular event yesterday, when my genious plan to crush a stone block with a key in it was hatched. If I'd thought 5 mins longer, I'd have noted there was also a stone splitting machine available. But I didn't. So I happily started the machinery, crushed the stone and the key inbedded in it into very tiny pieces, and had to restart....
design change.. I was bored, so what? ;)

Busy day, busy weekend...
Went to ikea, and bought.. 4 soft toys, and a lantern. Um. Still no new bookcase, which I'm in desperate need of. Right now the pile of books lacking bookcase-space is approx. 2 meters high. Decided I'd order the darn thing after I get back from my weeks vacation, I just will not have time this week to put one together.
Also picked up 3 new games. Or rather 3 new, old games. Discworld Noir, Azraels' Tear and The Legend of the Prophet and Assassin. So I'm all stocked up on adventure games now. :)
Otherwise I'm fully occupied with trying to figure out what I shouldn't forget before I go on vacation. Like, sending off b/d-presents, getting train tickets, remembering to note down all address for the post-cards, remembering to pay bills, and on top of it all get all the important stuff at work done with... and so on and so on.. *pant*....
