More like their first game. Ever. By Roberta and Ken.

Not just their first game, but THE very first graphical adventure ever. It is the game that founded Sierra. A bit surprising that a Sierra fan does not know of it.

I have a couple of Tandy diskette games that I have never been able to access. I would love to be able to at least extract the files from the disks. From trying to image them I just get messages that they are in a Tandy format.

So the information about I, Robot was doubly wrong if not more. This is the problem when looking for the first release of some feature. I have seen similar claims about the first VGA game that were provably wrong, for example. Again Dynamix and Damon Slye is among the contenders.

From what I found, I, Robot has the credit as the first "polygon using game" - for the Atari.

"Stellar 7" was released in '83 while I, Robot was released in '84. Then again, "Stellar 7" was only for the Apple II and C64. That quote says "for the Atari".

You are missing even earlier games. Damon Slye's 1983 "Stellar 7" used 3space, one of the very first 3-D game engines. It predates "Another World" by nearly a decade. Dynamix used that engine right up to the VGA era and beyond. It was the engine used for all of the Red Baron games, BaK, MoE, etc.

Remember that this came from a Peanut. You have to match machine types between the conf and the CFG.

It was no big deal to get it to run.

I remember that "All Good Things" scene with Picard and Q very well. It becomes even more significant when you realize that the entire series is bracketed by the Q. This at the end and from the start with an exchange between Q and Riker in season one's "Hide and Q" that explains the continuum's obse...

Of the new ones you are not far off. Then again, they don't know how to write for real Trek.

I am with you. I am cautiously optimistic, but I will have to see it first.

Except that that Star Trek came years before Star Bores.
