"GRIX!!! I HAVE AN IDEA FOR A GAME!!!"

You are Daniel Anthony Thraves. You work for the British Governemt as a stealth operationist. In other words, a guy who sneaks into places to get whatever the government want. Recently, there have been rumours going round that a computer chip has been built by a Russian Scientist, and when this chip is put in a computer, through the Internet it can break any password, stop any virus, and basically get into every top secret file on the Internet or any computer files in a matter of a seconds. Lately, top secret info from the government files has been leaked out into Russia. The government suspects this Russian scientist, who is supposedly named as Dr. Illian Ketrokov. Some of your friends at the government have found out that the chip is being heavily guarded inside a Russian Scientific Base sort of thing. The Government has asked you to go in, and find out if the rumours are true, and if they are, get this chip. You go through a series of levels, using stealth, all out shooting parts, and many other different aspects. I also think a multiplayer mode and a Training Section wouldn't go amiss. So, what do you think??? If you like, I'll start designing levels.
Thanks for reading, Ant.

Great. Yeah, I'll use paintbrush, but I'll see if I can get Deus Ex as well.

Grix, not just ram mate, it does depend on the graphics card and the amount of peripherals stored on the motherboard, that will reduce performance of the system. I would have a lot free for Deus Ex, or it will run really jerky. Ive seen it run jerky on a P 3 800 with 256M RAM and a Voodoo 5 5500 3dfx card, so Id say optimise your PC before you play it.

150MB for space, according to the box. But you need an extra 100mb for save games.

Do you have a decent graphics card as well?

Your processor should be fine.

You can just make something up in Paintbrush if you want.

If you do a top down view, birds eye, then it will be fine.

But if you want to add extra levels, as in upstairs, downstairs, then do another one to show the second level.

Don't be afraid to put in furiture as well.

No. It's not a joke. I'm making up levels in Deus Ex. I'll make a website to put them up on, and I'll get them on cover cd's of magazines. PC gamer, especially.

I have 1.26gb on my D Drive, which I can use to play Deus Ex, an only 143mb left on C!!! I can get rid of some stuff though, especially on D. I can get as maximum of 3.3gb on D.

Does he even know how to work it? His machine might work too slow. I'll make one myself where you must climb to the top of a building, you have a sniper rifle, UNATCO guards in every corner of the building, jump atop the building and a the helicopter guy comes and barks out the insturctions.

You look down and Gunther is there, fully loaded, you cannot let any guards run away and alert him, otherwise kill them, once you get a clean shot shoot out the radar and jump down. Sneak past him, and go into the UNATCO building, watch out for the guards, but back ups soon to breakthrough, kill as many guards as you can, get that general guy out of the building safely, bring the computer guy's blueprints of a new super augementation.
Back up will come, but gunther's here!

I'll check the properties thing now. My proccessor is 350, according to my dad. Hang on a minute.

Just to make sure, you're not doing this for a joke, are you??? You know, a trick on me to do a load of stuff?????
I'm sure you're not though. If not, great, it'll be something to do in my spare time. What sort of program would be best to use to make my town? Birds-eye view, wasn't it?

RAM is the stuff that makes games run faster.

Your hard drive is the one to see, double click on My Computer, right click and click on properties in the C drive, and see how much room you have left.

What processor is your PC?

Well I'm gonna make a little start on that. You can do what ever you want Ant, design wise.

1) Work on your idea.
2) Design the city.
3) Work on other things, western, stuff, whatever.


It is up to you. I don't mind at all what you do. Just make it good.
