: As Rimmer is a hologram, it would be interesting to see how the player would
: solve the normally simple problem of PICKING AN OBJECT UP.
Simple... he'd tell the skutters to do it. :) Personally, if it were my
project I'd have controlling Rimmer be only part of the game. (I mean,
would YOU want to be Rimmer for that long? Not bloody likely...)
Besides, after you get the hang of controlling a hologram, there's more
game to be had in a Red Dwarf setting. I mean, think of the fun you
could have controlling (or trying to control) Kryten, or Holly... or the
Cat! You'd get commands like:
>wear italian suit
"You know, I really DO like that suit. It makes me look sharp. But it
TOTALLY clashes with these pin-striped p.j.'s of mine. Know what I'm
saying?"
A whole new twist on puzzles...
: Hmmm... maybe I watched too much red dwarf during my spring vacation and
: it's warped my thinking. Anyhow, does anybody know if any such IF game exists,
: or if anyone plans to?
Wish I could tell ya, palsy. Brutal. Maybe if I have some time I'll
look into it, but I'm about to run out of cash on my current net.spree,
so I won't be able to check in here for a bit. Hang on to that idea,
though...
