Yeah.. I haven't seen him on AIM in a long time..

And when he was, he hardly ever talked.

I guess he's probably on a book tour right now (He said he was doing one)

Well, here's his profile: http://www.agsforums.com/yabb/index.php?board=3;action=viewprofile;user=Simple
He hasn't posted since June. Up until then he had been posting somewhat commonly...

I asked him several times to update Larry Vales 1 and 2 to the windows version but he didn't reply.  >:(

Oh man, Phil Reed Vsc had WAAAY too much of an ego problem, and he never used to help anyone out, and was always going on about how games should be better. And he was always like "I'm the most important person in this community because I've made SOO many games!!!"


naturally I jest. Phil Reed is my son.

I feel he's moved on from our poor little community. And I just wanted to be his friend...


If only I could think up a decent "I'm still Phillip from the block" Pun for him, only about AGS as well, then maybe, just maybe, he'll release it as his new single, and come back to be our friend once more...


I genuinly DO feel sad that we never hear from him any more!! How weird is that!?!!

He's only been gone for less than two months. I've taken longer breaks.

His last post may have been two months ago, but he was rarely here at that point. And you didn't make one of the 3 best and most important AGS games ever.
And he released the LV3 demo in 2001!  Nothing new since... and it was supposed to come out at Christmas 2002 I believe, and here we are in August 2003 and LV3 is like fantasy now.

If you look at his last 50 posts, you can see that he had a bunch of activity in March, then after that he went through couple-day periods of posting about ever month, until July. I dunno, in the past it's always seemed like he just occasionally graces the board, rather than being a regular. I do miss him though.
