Belive it or not, some of the oldies are still around, they're just not doing much. I've e-mailed a few, and some of them offered help with my current project - Drum 'n' Race - But your right there realy arn't enough people around at the moment.. Where are you all??? Oh, and if you want to help with DNR, it's a MicroMachines type game. You can e-mail me at chrisw@blycroft.freeserve.co.uk and its not all that hard to find my site. :) I agree with making more Programming Groups like Team Parc..... Chris Wallace.
