November 18, 1988
A glorious day. Freezing cold, but maybe that was part of it. The air was so clean, the sky so blue; I felt happy for no reason at all. I drove 80 on the freeway blasting Talking Heads all the way home.
Today definitely marked the close of a week of anguish over my game. It’s gonna be great. I put in a set of chomping jaws that added some much-needed real-time danger to the action. That was easy. The big step will be the swordfighting with the guards, but it’ll be worth it.
If only the Apple II weren’t a dying format. Better get cracking pronto on the MS-DOS conversion.
October royalty check for Karateka was $166.
