I don't know, part of the thrill of Adventure is the wierd way you have to
kill the dragons.
One of the fun things I like to do is to drop the sword and lure the dragons
into running into it. Kind of reminds me of the finale to "Planet Of The
Dinosaurs".
Or it's really great when the Bat flies by with the sword and kills the
dragon.
The Zelda approach would make for and easier game, but would I be "modernizing"
the gameplay too much?

Hey, this IS the Atari we're talking about. King of the Vapours.
Or it could just be the chili I had for lunch.
I'm going to make a serious effort to get some sort of original game done
this summer. But you never know. There's a chance I might have to go
on tour with a celtic folk group, but hopefully that won't be until the fall.
If only I had a pause button that would stop all time everywhere else in the
world! man, the things I could get done.
