I love The Sentinel; it's a really absorbing ;) game, that everybodyy needs to play at some point.

Anyway, congrats on getting a new version up and running. :)

I look forward to a playable version. Soon please! :D :D

Big fan of The Sentinel, full of admiration for Geoff Crammond too, he was a coding god on the early 8/16 bit micros.  :good:

Here's a very nice interview with him (with some interesting notes on the development of The Sentinel too)...

The game seens to look pretty nice. The controlling is quite unplayable throught, but that due the mouse state and graphics size checking is not doing correctly.

Howover its not that kind of bugs im will look on with the game source (im will not release it of course), but mere looking into the strange string issue. Here im take a look tomorrow or sunday.

There was an awesome looking WIP of Stunt Racer doing the rounds years ago that never fully arrived. I played the WIP demo and it really was great.

Here's a YT vid, but I remember seeing a better one, but this is still awesome.



And another "remake" that never arrived AFAIK
