Great news.

Hi Jeff, Bob, Rich et al.

I am ready to start work on this project. No idea how long it will take. I'm estimating 3-4 months. If any of you have acopy of a printout from an old game, I'd appreciate it as I don't remember what they looked like. I have hard copy of the original rules, but it might be helpful to have any changes RVO made. Also a map. I don't remember how big the original hex map was.

Thanks,

Mike

Hey folks. Not sure why I got cc'd on this, as I never actually played QJ, but if you get something knocked together I'd be happy to help proofread or playtest or what have you.

I didn't play Quest, but kept lots of stuff for other PBMs and would help if I could.

Joey, I have a bunch of old Flagship and Paper Mayhem. I briefly tried to mount an effort here to get them scanned and archived publically, but it never took off. Computer Gaming World has its own public archive out there. Let me know if you or anyone else is interested in these old mags. I would participate in an effort to have them scanned and posted but it needs to be a group effort somehow. Or somebody pay for scanning, or whatever.

I got rid of almost everything a while back.  I did find a couple 5 inch Mac floppies labeled Quest files and art and test turns, but don't have a way to read them.  I didn't change any rules, just fixed a few bugs that popped up from time to time.  Good Luck.

I will dig up what I can. I have most of the code for both your version and the flying Dutchman version, which would have all the updates. I may find an old map but I think I made a copy on excel with the frame of the continent. I will get it to you by the end of next week.

If you have the initialization file (originally called INITS.DAT), that would be very helpful. It contains data such as the attack factors matrix, low and high tax and levy rates for provinces, etc.

I found a map! It was with a bunch of stuff a former player sent me some time ago.

Here in Sasebo, Japan now.  When I get home I'll check and see what I have in my many garage boxes.

How do you want me to get you the files? Email?
