Scan of DoomRL being mentioned in CG Magazine
« on: December 17, 2005, 23:50 »

I FINALLY installed my scanner, so...

Here is the paragraph about DoomRL from that 'Remakes' special in Computer Games Magazine.  There was only one other roguelike mentioned, so.

Impressive! :-D

Could you please send me a full scan of the page? E-mail is admin at chaosforge.org. I'll take care of the rest (wiki etc.) :]

Edit: By full scan I mean the whole page as it was printed.

Turgor:  The wiki's GFDL, so I won't be adding to it.  Just say 'No' to open source.  ^^;

Hello Kornel :] As you know I have a very little idea about your game, but I know that this short "publication" is  very  important for you. Mr Kornel, I'm your fan :* . KKK.

you infidel! lol

i do feel strongly about open source though. i can understand people choosing  other approaches, but open source is the best way to spread information and pool resources imho. I know it also has many drawbacks (minor bugs not getting fixed etc), but personally i feel the advantages outweigh them most of the times.

This is not a discussion for the forum Turgor and Almafeta. Everyone has the right for their opinion, and this is especialy true for the holy GPL vs. Commerce crusade. As you may have noted, DoomRL itself is closed source (although, I seriously consider releasing the sources once I'm finished with the game). Almafeta did a great job of providing us with this image, for which I am sincerely grateful to him (finally got a reason to get drunk! ^_^).

P.S. Margo, thank you ^_^ (KKK)

Believe it or not, CGM mentioned DoomRL AGAIN in the January 2006 issue.  This time, about three times as much text, and instead of the middle of the list, as item number 1 in the list.  ^^;
