Hey, I just saw this... and it's a month old! <mumbles to
self> (must be getting old... how could I have missed it?)
Sorry for the late reply...

Is this from Stella's site? Thanks. I made that up for
my own records, so I could go back to wherever easily, but
sent it to Stella when she said she needed the set. I did
something like that with the others, but by TRLR I was
starting to getting better at it. 😉

I was looking up links for someone, saw your name in there along with
Jeff Reid and went "Hey, cool! " and checked em out Your writing
them up like that is a lifesaver sometimes!

Indeed, that was an act of survival. 😉 The saves were piling up
and I was starting to have trouble remembering which was which and
exactly where I was. 😛 This was my solution. I polished it up a
little bit before sending it to Stella, but not much.

I took notes when playing the Myst series too. The previous time I
took notes in a game was waaaaaay back when playing Adventure. You
almost had to take notes and draw maps in that game, but that was
part of the fun. You should see the map I ended up with... I
eventually had to use a big piece of butcher paper.

I think something like that would have been good in TR. As it is,
it's almost never necessary, the game is too linear. The only time
it helps is in some of the mazes. Still, if you're exploring a huge
complex temple, wouldn't you need to keep notes of some kind? I'm
sure they thought that would bog down the game too much and no one
these days would stand for a "thinking" game like that.

No one would stand for a thinking game. You hit it right there. I
hope someone will write one as in a full 3D adventure. You know, what
TR was supposed to be? What it once was....
These days they are games like Beyond Atlantis....Syberia.... sigh
