Hi Chris,

Sounds great!  Please let me know as soon as you release the demo.  I'd like to try it out!

Incidentally, if you're also into Japanese console RPG's, you may want to check out my Japanese console RPG resource site:

  http://www.brainlink.com/~russell/

It is mostly a text-based site that still has a lot to be added, but contains many links and a lot of synopses and some comparative analyses of various Japanese console RPG's, including the Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest series, as well as a list of all the Japanese console RPG's I've played and completed and comments about what I thought of many of them.  It's especially useful for comparison shopping.

Descriptions include the following titles:

  * Final Fantasy IX (PS)
  * Final Fantasy VIII (PS)
  * Final Fantasy VII (PS)
  * Final Fantasy Tactics (PS)
  * Tactics Ogre (PS)
  * Tales of Phantasia (PS)
  * Tales of Destiny (PS)
  * Breath of Fire 3 (PS)
  * SaGa FRONTIER II (PS)
  * Grandia (Saturn)
  * Shining Force III (Saturn)
  * Devil Summoner:  Soul Hackers (Saturn)
  * Evolution (DC)
  * Black Matrix A/D (DC)
  * Legend of Zelda:  The Ocarina of Time (N64)

The title uses layering, and appears fine in both IE4 and IE5.5.  Some title descriptions are still under construction.

Please submit a comment using the on-line form!

Thank you!
