Re: Fast Plot/Draw toolkit / viepoint manual/ PD3 Manual

Hi, Volume G of Simon Goodwins DIY toolkit has PLOT and DRAW described as fast, along with an example and a Quill doc guide. Could this be what you are looking for? I expect that Dilwyn Jones will have this on his website. Cheers No, that is not it. The DIY Plot and Draw have the same names, but di...

Re: QL Games

Yes!
Adventure games for me! Not text adventures, but adveture games with some sort of graphical interface and images, or better (animation like Monkey Island)
Maybe some puzzle games like Sokoban or Lemmings
Maybe some turn-based strategy like Lords of Midnight or the first Dune
