(This is actually from one of the readme files included with Michael J. Hardy's Disasteroids 3d -- the last time he ripped my stuff. I'm not making this up. lol)
You May Think I'm Crazy But I'm going to Tell You What
Inspired Me To Write and Program This Video Game!
It was October 13th, 2003 around 5:35am (My Wife has left for Work)
I was Working on the Computer as I always do, I think I was Playing
Solitaire or something like that. Anywho, I heard a Voice Come From
Behind Me! I turned around slowly and what I saw was Amazing as well
as Scary! I saw a Woman (Ghost) You could see right through her. She
said "Don't Be Afraid Mike." I asked (In a scared way, What do you Want?)
She said "I want my name out there" I then asked her "Well What do you Mean?"
She then went on to tell me that she died a Violent death in our (then) home in
1985. She then went on to say that she wants people to remember her. I
then asked her "What Can I Do To Help?" She said Create acouple of
Video Game's and include a Text File or some other kind of documentation
to tell people about me and what inspired you to create the game's. I then
asked her "Whats Your Name and what kind of game's should I make?" She
replied, My name is Karen Voorhees, In 1983 I used to have an Atari and I
loved the Game's Asteroids and Space Invaders. She said Create two
Video Arcade Game's Based on Asteroids and on Space Invaders. She then
told me "Don't worry Mike, Your hard work will pay off because those two games
will become famous... You might even get paid by someone for creating them.
I then Said, Ok. What should I name them? She replied Name them anything you
want But I think it would be cool to see some 3D Versions of those two game's.
I said ok, So at first I opened up Visual Basic, But I felt that that language wasn't
powerful enough to make a full version 3D Game so I opened up Visual C++ and
began work. The First Game I made was based on Space Invaders called
"X-Vaders" X-Vaders is freely available at http://www.angelfire.com/hi5/xvaders
Then I created DisAsteroids 3D Which is freely available at:
http://www.angelfire.com/hi5/asteroids3d Both of the game's I created are in 3D
just as she wanted...
In 2004 My Wife and I moved out of that old house and that was the last I ever saw
of Karen. My X-Vaders and DisAsteroids 3D Video Game's have become quite
famous as she claimed they would. I decided not to charge anything for the two
game's because if it wasn't for Karen I probably never would have created them.
On January 25th, 2005 around 11:30am My Wife and I found out that she is
Pregnant (Yep, I'm going to be a Daddy). We are both very excited about it.
This will be our First Child. I am dedicating DisAsteroids 3D and X-Vaders to
our Child. Who knows maybe someday he or she will take over the development
and keep the two game's alive...
