October 31, 1986

Ed was pretty thrilled with the rough running and jumping animation, now under joystick control. So was Tomi. Lauren, Doug and Gary didn’t act all excited, but I think they were secretly impressed.

I love the quality of the just-digitized roughs, but I’m having trouble preserving that fluidity and realism when I clean it up and stylize the figures. This is going to be a problem.

I beat out Ed and Steve for the #1 spot on the Tetris high-score list.

The Mets won the World Series.

    Muy interesante y nostálgico poder reconocer los movimientos del viejo Prince of Persia. Disfrutéhoras de mi vija jugándole, pero no tuve la perseverancia de un amigo mío que lo terminó en los 60′ que demandaba, y lo más impresionante de todo, no sabía que se graba con Ctrl+S!
    Muchas gracias por crear algo que junto con otros marcó un antes y un después en la historia de los videojuegos!
