![]() ![]() It didn't help that insane people among the devs had insisted on tying the various single player elements into the multiplayer connection (which was called Manalink), which made the game more than a little schizophrenic to operate. And it worked pretty dang well! - the multiplayer was a bit skitty, but any multiplayer back then was more than a bit skitty. Eventually someone at Microprose figured out how to do a proper engine for the card game, and released it using the 4th Edition cards. MoM-heir games have been increasingly popular, and increasingly competent, the past few years but they owe their existence in some large part to Microprose sneaking MtG into a Civ game ruleset.Īnyway. At the time it wasn't a wild hit, but this game, Master of Magic, became a cult phenomenon, and several developers tried badly to remake it for years until the team making Age of Wonders finally almost succeeded by polishing the game up to AoW: Shadow Magic. But Microprose went back to the drawing board and converted the card effects into a different kind of randomly generated strategy game, combined with Sid Meir's Civilization engine. ![]() I don't recall clearly because the game was a buggy mess, and after a week of trying to fight its horrible design I returned it to the store for a refund (which was possible back then, even though we bought games physically from things called "stores" back then.)Įventually various people made good semi-adaptations of the MtG formula featuring models and effects on a playing field, like for the Etherlords duology, among less well-known ones. On paper it sounded like a great idea: an adaptation which used computing power to make the card game's rules translate into a sort of real-time strategy game experience. Their first computer game adaptation (I can't recall if it was with Microprose or not) of the collectable card game MtG, was an unmitigated disaster, barely remembered by anyone today except those of us who suffered from buying it. ![]() But they've spent a long, long time trying to get something right again that they already got right once upon a time long ago at the turn of the century. Not that a multiplayer version of MtG (hereafter) is a waste of time exactly. Calling it a DAR made more sense for the song joke, though.Īpparently there are young and confused people who do not know what Shandalar is, or why those of us who know what it is seem to be constantly whining about Wizards of the Coast (the guys who own Dungeons and Dragons and a bunch of other things, including the card game Magic: The Gathering) keeps wasting time making mere multiplayer versions of Magic: the Gathering instead of remaking Shandalar. It will become quickly apparent that there is no feasible way to do a narrative Shandalar During Action Report. ![]()

If you're going to play this game, I'd suggest running a CD instead of relying on the in-game sounds. There are only sound effects, and no main theme in the game. There's the expected bells and whistles, which are more annoying than exciting. The sounds are typical of a low-budget game. Lighting is critical for a pinball game - you need to be able to see the ball at all times. Parts of the table are not illuminated enough. Graphically, Space Cadet Pinball is a bit darker than you'd like to see from a typical pinball table. They just shoot the ball back at your flipper. Almost all of the point scoring therefore has to come from hitting ramps, which don't even do anything special. ![]() Both are very insufficient, and far too hard to get into. The scoring places are also in weird positions bumpers are located only at the very top of the table, and in a secret ramp. That is grossly out of whack with much more popular pinball games. Anything over five hundred thousand is considered a good score. Nothing in the game results in an ear-shattering explosion with huge point totals and bright flashing lights. The actual point-scoring in the game is lackluster too. ![]() The center pit is not nearly wide enough, and the flippers are too strong to be used skillfully, even if you tried.

![]() Auditioned by Video from PrisonĪs he approached his release date at the end of 2002, Lyfe talked prison administrators into letting him make videos of performances he gave for other prisoners. "Like, I'd get a chord here, and a chord there, just write a whole song off that one chord, the whole mood of the chord." He was also inspired by Erykah Badu's Baduizm album, a copy of which he had in his cell. "I definitely got some tips from some guys that was in ," he told Associated Press writer Raqiyah Mays in an interview reproduced in America's Intelligence Wire. Everybody was, like, upset." But after a while, Lyfe won over the other prisoners, some of whom were musicians themselves. ![]() "It wasn't like there was somebody there teaching me to play, so it was really hands-on training and a lot of bad notes. "One of the hardest parts was that people kept on telling me to shut up," Lyfe told the Baton Rouge Advocate. He joined a prison gospel group and also learned to play the acoustic guitar, one of the few instruments available to him. Lyfe made use of his time behind bars by working on his music. At 16 he was sent to prison for ten years on an arson charge. "I ran around, did a lot of nonsense, got in a lot of trouble," he told Corey Moore of National Public Radio. He began to drift away from his studies at Toledo's DeVilbiss High School. At the time, Lyfe was not in a position to pursue his ambitions. ![]() The group broke up after that, but local producers had already identified Lyfe's voice as something special, and encouraged him to work toward becoming a solo act. The group tried to follow in the footsteps of the phenomenally successful sibling ensemble New Edition they scored several talent show wins and got as far as making a demo recording. His brother Jay joined a group called Lade Bac that was featured on an album by R&B star Keith Sweat, and an uncle, Keith Dotson, formed a family group called the Dotsons. The "lyfe" spelling, according to a Toledo Blade article, indicated that his music often asks the question "why?" His first musical experiences came in church, and several members of his family went into musical careers. Lyfe was a stage name chosen after he restarted his career after prison and began writing songs, often about life's trials. ![]() Lyfe was born Chester Jennings in Toledo, Ohio, around 1976. After releasing his debut album, Lyfe 268-192, in 2004, he gradually but steadily gained a large fan base. And Lyfe's musical style, like that of the philosophical-minded vocalist Erykah Badu, hovers between hip-hop and R&B, with classically soulful vocals framed and interspersed by spoken interludes or brought up short by hip-hop's abruptness and humor. He plays an acoustic guitar, an instrument he learned in prison but one that is fairly uncommon in a contemporary urban context. Lyfe writes honest, emotional songs, drawn from his own experiences. The many attempts that have been made to describe it show how unusual it is: labels range from folk-rap (Lyfe's own description) to singer-songwriter (the Seattle Times) to "R&B/hip-hop/folk" ( Billboard). Toledo, Ohio-born singer and songwriter Lyfe has a sound all his own. ![]() ![]() ![]()
