Added computer player <D.A.N.>

Added computer player <B.I.L.L.>

Mega Byte: Where are you from?

Round 1 of 12

dsm: California

Mega Byte: Cool.

Mega Byte: I'm in Tokyo, but lived in San Diego for many years.

dsm: cool

Mega Byte: I hate when there is a 3 mountain plot right next to the door. :)

Round 2 of 12

Round 3 of 12

dsm: so how does one catch the wumpus ?

Mega Byte: Space bar skips the production animation.

Mega Byte: Bugger.

Mega Byte: That's bad

Mega Byte: Man

Mega Byte: I hate selling it now... :(

Mega Byte: But I can't live another turn.

Mega Byte: You catch the wampus by going to the spot on the mountain where he sticks his head out, and press the space bar.

dsm: ah ok on atari just had to run over him

Mega Byte: Yeah

Mega Byte: That was how I remembered it on the C64 too. :)

Mega Byte: Come on dude. :)

Mega Byte: I need 2

Mega Byte: that was 2 more.

Round 4 of 12

Mega Byte: I'm telling you how to play the game... don't gimp me. :)

Mega Byte: Some reason you want the price of energy to be high???

Round 5 of 12

Mega Byte: space bar skipps produciton animation

Mega Byte: Gulp

dsm: terrorists !

Mega Byte: All that, and no surface to air missles... :)

Mega Byte: BAH

Mega Byte: WTF

Mega Byte: How the bloody hell did that happen...

Round 6 of 12

dsm: I am sooo screwed

Mega Byte: Nah, you are in much better position than I am.

Mega Byte: You haven't been helping to control the Ore market...

Mega Byte: Or we would both be doing well.

Mega Byte: I keep getting screwed on energy too.

Mega Byte: So I've had 2 round without production

Mega Byte: Space bar skips this part

Mega Byte: Makes it go a lot faster.

dsm: thx

Mega Byte: One advantage you have, last place, no bad events can happen

Mega Byte: Wish I hda had 10 untes

Mega Byte: units

Mega Byte: I wish you could buy from them once they start selling to the store.

Mega Byte: One small slip, and you wind up out of the auction.

Round 7 of 12

Mega Byte: Let that last mule go if you don't use it.

Mega Byte: Let the mule go

dsm: waaaa

Mega Byte: If you had turned that mule los, ore would be 230 right now...

Mega Byte: That's it for the ore market...

Mega Byte: That's the part I was just talking about

Mega Byte: How I hate once they engage with the store, you can't buy from them.

Mega Byte: I thought in the old version, you coul.

dsm: yeah I think thats a bug

Round 8 of 12

Mega Byte: DAMN mountains

Mega Byte: Keep getting hung on them.

Mega Byte: This version of the game, crystite is NOT the end all be all, like it was in 25 years ago version.

Mega Byte: It's max value is 144

Mega Byte: Ore's max value is 230

Mega Byte: And if you work at it, you can easily manipulate the ore market.

Mega Byte: But it needs everyone playing at it.

Mega Byte: Space bar

dsm: ahso des ka

Mega Byte: nani

Mega Byte: Nihongo des ka

dsm: skose

Mega Byte: ahso wa nihngo de nan deska

dsm: wakri ni

Mega Byte: sukoshi

Mega Byte: ???????

Round 9 of 12

Mega Byte: ??

Mega Byte: haha

Mega Byte: Discovered MULE interface is not multilanguage. :)

Mega Byte: Wouldn't accept my hiragana and kanji.

Mega Byte: Which is weird. It takes it on the entry bar, but when it presents in the conversation window, it just shows ??????s

Mega Byte: I need a store burn even now.

Mega Byte: event

dsm: so I wrote the worlds first kanji kanji Wysiwyg editor

Mega Byte: That's a big claim.

dsm: with a small team at Xerox PARC

Mega Byte: Interesting.

dsm: worked with Fuji Xerox

dsm: in Akasaka and Ebine

dsm: Ebina

Mega Byte: Where is Ebine?

dsm: Ebina about 90 minutes from tohyo (never drove so don't know which direction

Mega Byte: LOL

dsm: Fuji Xerox Manufaturing

Mega Byte: How long were you here?

dsm: only a few weeks at a time

Round 10 of 12

dsm: I was in Japan when Space Invaders was released. ;)

Mega Byte: I knew it would punish me for letting them all go. ;)

Mega Byte: hehe

Mega Byte: This is a risky strategy for me.

Mega Byte: Will see if it works or not.

dsm: yup

Mega Byte: I hate this new damn spoilage down to 50 they implemented.

Mega Byte: Would rather have seen the price at 230, but this will be ok I think.

Mega Byte: Nice crystite price too.

Mega Byte: Hmmm

Mega Byte: You made too much

Mega Byte: I think you got me since I took such a big spoliage hit, and it took away one of my high producing smithoer plots.

Mega Byte: Bugger.

Mega Byte: I forgot that I would have so much spoilage.

Round 11 of 12

dsm: hey how did you get that !!!???

Mega Byte: Fast finger

Mega Byte: Going to be close.

dsm: yup

Mega Byte: I think you might have me though, as your crystite production is much higher, and I can't get all my left over plots converted that fast.

dsm: I think yu will get me by about 5 wumpi

Mega Byte: 5 what?

dsm: wumpuses

Mega Byte: That was a gamble too...

Mega Byte: If crystite drops next round...

Mega Byte: I will have lost money

Mega Byte: My only advantage at this point is couple extra plot values.

Mega Byte: Might as well sell it.

Mega Byte: I had more than I though I would nee

Mega Byte: d

Mega Byte: Was buying for 2 rounds, but bought for 3 LOL

Round 12 of 12

Mega Byte: Hmmm

Mega Byte: Nail biter

Mega Byte: Not getting that mule back in the coral could be enough to kill me.

dsm: I think you got it

Mega Byte: Close one.

Mega Byte: I wish I could have gotten that last ORE plot to crystite.

Mega Byte: Will all come down to production of my crystite.

Mega Byte: If you produce more than me, than I'm dead.

Mega Byte: If I have more than you, I might win.

Mega Byte: I'm dead.

Mega Byte: Price is WAY high too.

Mega Byte: So your value of goods is higher.

Mega Byte: WOW

Mega Byte: Both at 102.

Mega Byte: Hmmm

Mega Byte: I think you buying that Ore hurt you.

Mega Byte: It will have a asset value of the store buy amount.

Mega Byte: So you bought a few units, at store price.

Mega Byte: It won't raise your Ore overall asset value.

Mega Byte: (They fixed that in this game.)

dsm: ah

Game Over

Saving score, please wait...

Score saved

dsm: congratulations

Mega Byte: Wow.

Mega Byte: Squeeker.

Mega Byte: Thanks mate.

Mega Byte: This was the best game I've played ever.

Mega Byte: :)

dsm: elegant estates !

Mega Byte: If I had lost by cost of a mule, I'd ahve been devistated.

Mega Byte: :)

Mega Byte: NICE.

Mega Byte: Was a pleasure playing with you.

Mega Byte: Cheers.

dsm: yeah I thought the old bug on asset values was still there

Mega Byte: Nope.

Mega Byte: That's gone.

Mega Byte: And was only on the Atari version

Mega Byte: Was fixed in the C64 version too

dsm: cheers nice game

dsm: so what do you do in Tokyo computers I assume

Mega Byte: I consult to financial firms

Mega Byte: Mostly on technology infrastructure, and build data centers.

dsm: shoot use app engine ;)

Mega Byte: Wow

Mega Byte: You realize, I only won this game because I got that extra plot...

Mega Byte: If you had had it instead of me, you'd have won.

Mega Byte: LOL

Mega Byte: Anywah, have to run.

Mega Byte: Thanks for the game.

dsm: maybe because you are hosting ?

dsm: u2 thanx

Mega Byte: Don't think so.
