Just a few days later David Johnston released Up and he cut and paste the Down release info changing the word Down to Up. So the updates page read something like: - New game released Up. Fun skill game for all the family. Download now! - New game released Down. Fun skill game for all the family. Download now! Most members though this was quite funny and impressive that David had managed to get a game out so quickly but Dennis really didn't, he took offense and demanded David remove his game accusing him of ripping off his game idea etc... Apparently Down was originally called Up&Down and was going to feature another game mode similar to the gameplay of Up. It was all resolved amicably in the end, although neither Dennis or David ever released another yaroze game. -Matt "Greg Cook" wrote in message news:boc4n7$82n2@www.netyaroze-europe.com... > what were the circumstances and reactions :) this sounds juicy :)
