The last games I ever coded for were circle MUDs, heavily modified circle MUDs... in fact I designed a custom language system for one and built 10k+ unique rooms in some custom zones... wow, games today were always boggling to me. Grabbed this title, gave it a read... I'm not as intimidated by modern gaming now and think I might have to give coding a 'modern' game just for fun! Pick this title up!!!
