Hello everyone! Glad I was directed to this forum. I wish I was here years ago to talk about QJ. I will summarize my QJ with you.
I started playing back in 84 when I was in high school when MS ran the game. I played for a bit with RVO ran it until life took my away.
I contacted Bob back in 2001 and ended up buying the rights to the game from him. The unfortunate side of the purchase was that I was unable to run the MAC C code and it did not help that I am a PC guy. I tried to learn some elementary programming but it just was to hard for me to learn.
I have contracted 4 different programmers over the last 15 years to reprogram it for me, even tried the guy who re coded the game for flying Dutchman but he was not interested. All my efforts failed and ended up costing me almost $5000 with incomplete programs.
I made several attempts with a board game version but the dynamics of the PBM game just did not carry over to a board game and ended up feeling like a completely different game which I did not like.
The passion is still there to get this game working again, I hope maybe this audience will be able to help bring this game back. I am willing to run this game and moderate it for free for everyone. Any ideas???
