Re: Combining controls

Yeah mouse movement + keys for rotate would make life good.

But take your long weekend off first ;)

That's what he said

athough I'll admit I thought the floating words "Power Zone" above it were plenty at the time.

Want to hear something funnier? The biggest moan I read about on the RLLMUK forums was that once they got into the real game they didn't know they had a power zone because the words didn't appear ...

Completely agree with a lot of the comments here. OXM "85 IQ" UK have embarassed themselves, by compounding their sister publication's gaffe.

BUT it's not a case of SG needing to be simpler, it's a case of the barrier to entry being so high from the off.

I think the challenge with Space Giraffe ...

Yeah the blog is way better than the tutorial (that was a big subject of debate when it came out, believe me) and I even put a video on YouTube cos I agree it's too obscure. It seems it's unlikely Jeff will spend any more time on SG and there's a lot of player-base help material out there now ...

Ha, I think I was at that show at the Novotel as well, and about the same age. :)

But a thousand poxes on any mention of Llamasoft history that overlooks Iridis Alpha!

No matter what he says, getting GGA, nothing else and that impossibly low score smacks of just playing like Tempest and really not getting it.

If you don't try to max your scores, there is no tension, no risk/reward and no fun.

Really surprised he didn't contact you to ask how the hell to play it ...
