Hello Dr. Chuck Tingle! I am an amateur writer and I was wondering: Do you have any advice on creating compelling dramatic tension for characters? Thanks!

Hi Dominic! As soon as I heard the name "Domark", I immediately remembered one of my favorite games from my childhood: Absolute Zero)

My question is, were you involved in this game at all? If so, can you share your thoughts on the game or the development process for it? Any insight you can offer on the game at all would be a real treat!

Since I was about 8 years old when I picked up the game off the shelf at CompUSA (based solely off of the box art, as was standard practice back in the day), I never was able to get past the 3rd or 4th mission. I have tried a number of times over the years to find a way to play the game, having naturally lost the game CD, but have never had success. I got it working for a bit on DOSbox, but it always crashed at a certain point in one of the missions. It's still a personal goal of mine to complete the game one day, even if I have to scour the internet for an original disc and build a DOS machine myself to do it!

Anyway, I just wanted to drop in my two cents and share my appreciation for what I believe is one of the more "obscure" PC games to have existed. Sure, it was pretty simple, technologically, but I think Domark did a great job of working with what was available at the time to create a pretty heart-pounding and memorable experience for this young fellow!

Very cool! Thanks so much for your reply after having connection problems yesterday. :)
