I think it would benefit from having...something else there. I'm not sure what, but as-is it's pretty bland. Also there's a really noticeable white outline around Fatman that detracts from the overall feel of it.

Hey Ionias, I like the wallpaper... I'm still yet to play Fatman 1... I'm a bit of a tight-arse, ;). But maybe I'll get around to buying it one day soon.
One thing is that your signature in the bottom-right corner is blocked by the taskbar.

The wallpaper looks a lot cleaner when it's expanded to full-size.  Try it!  Shrinking down the image made it look a bit weird.

So what's the story with Fatman 2, man?  I went to the website expecting an update but saw nothing. :(

Ooh free you say?
I can afford that.
Where might I be able purchase a free copy of Fatman 1?

P. S. The first person who says 'Google it' is going to get a slap ;D

[Edit]
Ahh thanks Mods - This is one of those games I've always wanted to play but just somehow never did..

Did I forget to mention how exciting I am. I hope not. Because, I know you're only promising a slow driving force to complete the game, but that's all I need to keep me warm this winter. Good luck with it!

Did I forget to mention how exciting I am.

Yes Mills....do tell us...how exciting are you? :=


Anyway, though I've never played Fatman, I've only ever heard great things about it. I may have to take a look at it sometime when I'm not busy pretending that I'm doing something useful with the engine....heheh.
Let's be honest. Most people suck at coding. I suck at coding, but at least my code is readable. To Hell with anyone too lazy to maintain consistent formatting in their code. I could deal with bad interfaces and structure if I could even read your horrible code. And that's putting it nicely. -monkey

I expect the 3rd sequel to Ace Quest and Fatman to be a Fat Quest extravanza :D

The wallpaper is very nice Mike! But I'd also like to see one without a white outline :)

A really simple skyline might make the poster more visually interesting, since right now there's a massive amount of empty space with nothing going on.  I did a really sloppy edit to show what I mean.  For some reason photobucket didn't like this image and some of the colors are messed up.  I think it's probably the large dimensions.

And here's a slightly altered version that incorporates your logo.

That does amuse me. I will now find a women to copulate with, remove my child from the women, wait a bit, and then play Fatman with him. If he doesn't laugh, I will cast him away, repeat the above steps, until I find a worthy child. I will tape his laughter, and then send it to you as a holiday gift. To which you'll return with a gift of a sequel. Everyone will rejoice.
