Re: Why did you start playing DL?

We ran at lunch time usually. We had a 5 kilometre course that took us about 20 minutes, although he could do it in 15 and so he could sneak a quick run of the trial version in too sometimes! Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so. Such profound thoughts from one so young - I got the thread off t...

Re: I'd like to introduce myself

Hullo all I hope Rob doesn't mind me hijacking his thread to say hi myself (it seemed a logical place to put the introductory posts). It's less messy than starting a thread myself that'll echo most of what'd go in here anyway. My real name is Matthew and Deadlock was part of my childhood too. Many ...

Re: Deadlock Comics!

Allow me to present something my brother created. He's much younger than I, but as part of his education his considerate brothers introduced him to classic games we ourselves played when young. Deadlock was one of them. And naturally he was drawn to the fantastic characterisation of the races, the ...

Re: Questions about Deadlock

Hello. Deadlock Art Lead Ken Capelli here. Ken, just learned that you were responsible for the art in Giants, Citizen Kabuto . Well done, another game that my children and I enjoyed together. I believe that the Mac version was very well received. On the Mac I believe that this is a carbon applicati...

Re: Questions about Deadlock

Russell Shiffer here. Here's some random Deadlock trivia. The original working name for the game was 'Xenosphere'. Some of us argued against the name Deadlock because it was a network game, and a Deadlock in networking is a bad thing. But Marketing told us we were overthinking. :lol: Searches onlin...

Re: Deadlock III: Manifolds Destiny

Are you sure it's safe to call it Deadlock III? Atari might get upset. I referenced this in my Q&A post, but I am pretty sure that no one at Atari (given its weird business absorptions/ acquisitions/ name changes/ mergers between Infogrames, Accolade, Ocean, Atari, Midway, Hasbro Interactive, e...

Re: Questions about Deadlock

Hello. Deadlock Art Lead Ken Capelli here. Gary filled out quite a bit, here's what I know I can respond to: ...And for other things you guys never saw... you should have seen what we had going for the preproduction of Deadlock 3. SPACE. I'll just tease with that as I sign off. ;-) PS. I find it ra...
