Re: A83: CalcEm, Aurora, endless venting, etc.
Hell yeh, I'd rather see Super Mario 83! He worked that long on it he
should have had at least the main features of mario in like fireballs,
the pirana plants don't come out when you're on the pipe. I personally
think that he took way too long for what he made, I mean he said he was
gonna make an ASE 83 with Ash/Crash emulation, but he never did that,
and he hasn't ever updated Aurura or AShell which is really bad after
all the work he did on ASE. And I know that wasn't that much bigger
than AShell because my brother has an 86 and used ASE for a while, he's
made his own shell now and thinks it's the greatest, don't know what
he's thinking.... Anyway, Bill needs to convert Mario quick or at least
update our shells, we don't have 10 or 15 like the 85 and 86 now that
the shell wars have started. Anyway, I've said my peace, I hope Bill
reads this somehow.
