Why unearth this thread, which was concerned about a presumed copy of WoW, that turned out as non-starter; and turn it into another 'Games we want to see' thread?

Some interest in WoW had already been stated in that other thread, no one picked up the task thus far (neither won't I), and that's about it.

Mike, well maybe not all people share your interest in perfect order or are aware of all threads on the forum. Maybe your post (and this answer) don't belong here either as they have not much to do with Wizard of Wor. You do complain now and then about things posted in the wrong place but still don't want to be a moderator yourself for some reason. You might discover that if you loosen up a bit, life will be a bit easier. Maybe you should go by this rule in the future:

A: Don't complain or
B: Be a moderator and fix what you think is wrong yourself.

Friendly Computer, Friendly Forum is a rule I try to follow.

Boray, there.are some folks on the forum for whom the untidiness might really jangle nerves. Those with OCD or forms of Autism.

We don't need to generate conflict with our posts.

Mike could have said, please can we move this discussion to the Games we want to see thread, a form of moderation.

Every thread need not be a battle.

Not all battles need to be fought.

No thread needs a war.

Wizard of Work is a pretty poor game but I would still like to see it on the vic.

Well maybe that was a bit too much unfriendliness from me to make a point. Sorry.

(Un)friendliness apart, this may be the time to ask: any news about the supposed but improbable WoW cart? Was it sold, and/or dumped? Is fsporsche still around?

@Ian: Wizard of Work is a great nickname for my boss here at work :D

Any response? As much as I wanted to believe this was real, it is entirely possible we may have been "trolled". Sigh.

Hope it was an act of fraud *towards* fsporsche, and not *by* fsporsche :(

Think so, but the harsh response may have kept him away. I will reach out and see at the weekend.

No hard feelings here. I really wanted the news to be real, but I have no harsh feelings for the source of the news. He's been around here for some time.

So can it port easily over to C128 then? :twisted:
