Any luck?

Has Phin got a reply to the open letter to MS yet?

And just an extra:

Though this has nothing to do with MTM2, unless you use the C98 roads for plunger lanes and ball paths, I've discovered a new game:

http://www.visualpinball.com

It's a fun program. *PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE VBSCRIPT KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED.* Visual Basic code is used in the Script Editor to edit the "innards" of the game. A visual blueprint is used to design visible stuff. Images can be imported and exported (exported through File>>Export>>Blueprint, for creating the table image) and sounds can be taken in. Experienced designers can take full advantage of the code. Newbies can deal with the default flippers and plunger and play with objects instead.

Here's a code sample.

Sub Bumper1_Hit()
AddScore 600
PlaySound "Bumper"
DoBumperStuff()
End Sub

You gotta define AddScore and DoBumperStuff, but PlaySound comes with the game.

Take a look at this game, you may decide you like it.

One last note. If you ever look at VisualPinball.Com and see something about Tech Beta 7 coming out, tell me straight away. In a private message. I've been waiting almost a year and a half for it.
