This thread caught my eye, and I thought I would share it w/ everyone. I
would really like to see the open source community get behind this project,
and create something truly spectacular.

I dont seemta have time to play games right now, I'm in the middle of
writing an ebook which I can see evolve into one however. A terrific
adventure game, set in the 6th millennia BC, about the great flood of
the Black Sea basin, which wiped out the original homeland of the
Aryans. Which is why nobody has been able to find it. Nobody ever looked
on the bottom of the Black Sea before archaeologists Ryan & Pitman (who
wrote "Noah's Flood")

As disasters go, this is unique. the others, like quakes, fires,
volcanos, et al, are very fast, but this took a couple years. But it was
an exciting time, several new technologies, like arsenic bronze, were
begun then. I can see the reconstructionalist ren fairs coming...

Not so.
