|
Now, before you ask what the fuck this is, let me tell you that I
|
|
also have absolutely no idea what it is. All I can fathom is that I was
|
|
trying to write some kind of role-playing system, and in the process I felt
|
|
like this was some kind of feasible back story.
|
|
|
|
What was my obsession with the game Eric the Unready? Or Zorro?
|
|
AND WHAT THE FUCK DOES ANY OF THIS MEAN? THIS IS NONSENSE EVEN BY MY
|
|
STANDARDS.
|
|
|
|
Granted, it pales in comparison to the all-capital-letter RPG system
|
|
I wrote when I was 12, but that is tragically lost on some 5 1/4" disk
|
|
somewhere in my house, never to find another compatible drive to be
|
|
restored off of.
|
|
|
|
So anyway, this is how I apparently thought in the years just before
|
|
high school. I can only hope I did not think this was good.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1984
|
|
|
|
Michael Jackson's "Thriller" tour kicks off all over the world, the
|
|
Soviet Union gets a new leader. I am still busy writing my program entitled
|
|
"Eric The Unready" which may take several more years... I am beginning to
|
|
wonder if Reagan will be re-elected. We can of course pray that he isn't
|
|
but things don't look so good for Mondale... oh well at least, if he got
|
|
shot at once it's likely to happen again. IBM introduced DOS 2.1 this
|
|
year... I wonder if it'll ever be worthwhile? Oh well... I have heard more
|
|
and more about this "SCA" organization, it seems they perform medieval-type
|
|
battles in this time period. Sounds interesting I must join them. so I am
|
|
finsihed with this entry already!
|
|
|
|
1985
|
|
|
|
I discovered that Electronic Arts is working on a game called
|
|
"Zorro"... I wonder if this is based in any way on Zorro? Hmmm... oh well.
|
|
I also understand that this "Nintendo" device is becoming increasingly
|
|
popular among the young children... moronic peons. I will someday finish my
|
|
ultimate creation, thereby closing the market to all other games and game
|
|
companies... well I am out of things to say so until next year... Oh yes
|
|
there is one last thing I can think of, apparently this "Rescue on
|
|
Fractalus" game has 128 colors for the Atari... this is intruiging to me
|
|
maybe I'd better get one. Until next year...
|
|
|
|
1986
|
|
|
|
Electronic Arts RELEASED Zorro! I can't believe the fools! Oh
|
|
well... this year has been slow, Reagan is still the pathetic fool he's
|
|
always been. I've been thinking that I should start writing more than once
|
|
a year in this... but then I realize that since Mary died that it's almost
|
|
impossible for me to hold a pen anyway... so I'll cut this short as well.
|
|
Adieu.
|
|
|
|
1987
|
|
|
|
Ah, the IBMs are starting to shape up to standards... I wonder how
|
|
long before they release something with more than 16 colors... I doubt
|
|
they'll ever catch up to the Atari 800 XL but that's okay because I know
|
|
it's the best you can get! It's not even funny anymore how hard it is for
|
|
me to write, but I must complete this entry. This year Reagan is finally
|
|
seeming to realize that he's going to no longer be president next year
|
|
essentially, let's hope he gets assassinated soon. I sincerely hope that
|
|
Bush DOESN'T run for president as some have hoped...
|
|
|
|
1988
|
|
|
|
I am rooting for Dukakis in the elections because Bush has shown
|
|
over the last 8 years that he is just as incompetent as Reagan is... let's
|
|
just see how things turn out. Weird Dreams was released in the U.K. this
|
|
year, it's got 16-color graphics that look very impressive on an IBM... I'm
|
|
starting to have more hope for good ole' Microsoft's Operating Systems...
|
|
maybe someday soon they'll realize that my creation will be ultimate.
|
|
Adieu.
|
|
|
|
1989
|
|
|
|
Curse our luck, Bush defeated Dukakis. Again the country shall go
|
|
through 4 years of chaos... ah well my game is starting to progress
|
|
rapidly. I plan to have the plot done by sometime next year... maybe then
|
|
IBM will have released something superior to EGA for their little system.
|
|
The country is raving over this "Super Nintendo" that is rumoured to be
|
|
coming out some time next year... I hope that they all burn on the way to
|
|
production... I must go now, journal, and work on my game. Adieu.
|
|
|
|
1990
|
|
|
|
Keef the Thief was released by Electronic Arts this year! The
|
|
bastards stole my ideas!!! I can't believe the nerve! I would sue them but
|
|
I would be percieved as the guy trying to make money off the "successful"
|
|
company... Fucking American Law. I have re-created the plot since then, and
|
|
am already working on the graphics, and maybe VGA isn't so far away after
|
|
all. hehehe oh yes, and the modem industry really seems to be taking off...
|
|
a lot more BBSers around here than there used to be. Oh well... my hand is
|
|
starting to recover now, and the memories of Mary are starting to get
|
|
better. Maybe soon I can begin writing more than a paragraph per year...
|
|
goodbye.
|
|
|
|
1991
|
|
|
|
Next year Bush will be up for re-election, the bastard'll probably
|
|
clean up due to that Gulf War incident.. the blind fools. My hand,
|
|
according to Dr. Patel, is improving at an amazing rate considering I
|
|
haven't had use of it for nearly ten years... writing with my right hand is
|
|
difficult mind you (as if you couldn't tell)... Ah well. IBM is really
|
|
showing hope now having released 486s and they are starting to corner the
|
|
market without anyone to stop them, Mr. Gates is the greediest sonofabitch
|
|
I've ever kn own but I'm proud to know him. Well. Damn, mental block. Eric
|
|
The Unready's graphics are now about 1/2 done I'd say, I'm shooting for a
|
|
late 1992 release date. I am very happy...
|
|
|
|
1992
|
|
|
|
Well I will be releasing my game probably the first week of the new
|
|
year as it turns out. I believe that the increasing tension in the L.A.
|
|
area is going to explode like a keg if the Cops that beat Mr. King are
|
|
found innocent... Dr. Patel says that in a year I should be able to use my
|
|
left hand again! I'm thrilled... I can't wait to write ever better than
|
|
this and in about 1/100th of the time! Ahhh... life is good now.
|
|
|
|
1993
|
|
|
|
This year could not be much better. Late last year Dr. Patel told me
|
|
that my left hand was almost as good as new, and as you can see my
|
|
Calligraphy skills are not depleted! And Eric The Unready was RELEASED
|
|
January 3rd of this year... sales are good, the game is getting rave
|
|
reviews... this is amazing! I am planning to release a CD-ROM version for
|
|
later this summer, I think then sales will go through the roof. I could not
|
|
be much happier right now... except of course if Mary were with me. My
|
|
friends tell me I should get over it and start dating again, but I just
|
|
can't accept her death, I'm sorry if that makes me strange or something.
|
|
U4ia, that british bloke I met through the InterNet appears to be a .Mod
|
|
maker. A .Mod is apparently a Sound-card music file, and I have tried
|
|
several and they are good! Amazing quality for such a small file. There was
|
|
even a shareware game released recently full of .Mods and .Vocs mostly
|
|
created by this brilliantly talented Ziego Vuantar fellow... it's just an
|
|
alias but he runs a board, which even has 200 MEGS of the damned things!
|
|
It's amazing! I'm sure I'll give it a call one of these days... well I'm
|
|
done rambling for this year, I shall write again when Eric The Unready is
|
|
released on CD-ROM...
|
|
|
|
1994
|
|
|
|
I am writing in desperation now... my release of Eric the Unready on
|
|
CD-ROM apparently triggered a violent reaction in the middle east, which
|
|
ended up plunging the entire world into nuclear war!!! Apparently they
|
|
were offended by something having to do with kissing the pig in the first
|
|
part!!! I am in incredible dispair right now, and I am contemplating
|
|
giving myself up to the Arabs to stop this horrible war. I will write again
|
|
later
|
|
|
|
1993
|
|
|
|
The Arabs refused me. I am writing from my bomb shelter's typewriter
|
|
right now. I cannot describe the condition of the world right now. All I
|
|
know is that the human race has been completely changed in the last year
|
|
and it is due completely to my game. I cannot believe that I did all this.
|
|
It is very horrible... some of the human race that lived through the
|
|
bombings is starting to be able to survive without air... some can go
|
|
without food, but the majority still is like us, the same needs as humans
|
|
from the past required. I'd say about 1/2 of the population of the world
|
|
has been wiped out... the horror is immense. If I do not receive word from
|
|
this Ziego Vuantar fellow soon I am going to try to make it to the Sub
|
|
without his help.
|
|
|
|
1995
|
|
|
|
This time it's serious. Quarex and I successfully escaped this
|
|
underground, but we know not where we are now. He brought a few allies with
|
|
him, named things like Ghort, Neo Jesus, Ogre, and the REALLY strange one,
|
|
Tom... together we managed to make it to the Sub and leave that horrible
|
|
place. We are now in Pennsylvania, and are seeking shelter with the
|
|
non-muties. I cannot believe, looking back at this entry, how much of the
|
|
noo slang I have used. I suppose hearing nothing but that will do it to
|
|
you... the majority of people left non-mutated out here ARE former BBSers
|
|
who were smart and heard what to do from others... it's amazing but there
|
|
is actually a board here, and with all the phone companies destroyed, well,
|
|
it's got one line only but it's obviously free to call. Oh well... The
|
|
suffering is incredible, but my group and myself seem to have survived
|
|
rather well. Tomorrow we attempt to make it to New York City... Well here
|
|
we are in Neo York City. We unfortunately suffered a loss in the form of
|
|
the "Tom" fellow, he died protecting us. We are on the next ferry to Europe
|
|
where we hope conditions will be better...
|
|
|
|
1996
|
|
|
|
All right. This is Quarex Osis, I have taken over the journal since
|
|
Robert's... UNSIGHTLY demise. Ogre, Neo Jesus, Ghort and I are the only
|
|
ones left now. The boat sunk about a mile out of Neo York and we managed to
|
|
make it back to shore but only because Robert gave himself to the Mut
|
|
Sharks. We are apparently going to remain in Neo York for a good deal of
|
|
time, we have set up connections with the Sub in this area and have
|
|
acquired weapons and bullet proof things as well. I am leading a strike on
|
|
the main skyscraper where the Muts live... of course this won't get rid of
|
|
all of them, hell it won't do very much of anything, but it'll make sure
|
|
that they exercise caution when leaving the damned place and maybe set up a
|
|
future for the kids still around... I realize that this is a suicide
|
|
mission essentially and so does everyone else but life is basically
|
|
worthless right now so we figure, why not? If any of us survive the assault
|
|
we will be sure to continue... so until next time, my friend, adieu...
|
|
|
|
That is were the riting endz. i gess that ziego and his warriorz did
|
|
not make it bak frum the Mut base... maybe that's hoo thoze guyz are in
|
|
thoze statuez outside the city hal. it sayz "Were it not for these men, our
|
|
way of life today would not be possible"... I guess that waz them. i will
|
|
keep looking for new stuff. goodbye. I'll give it a call one of these
|
|
days... well I'm done rambling for this year,
|
|
