Was thinking of taking on an open source project that was abandoned in 2003 by its creator. The game is fun and has great potential. I haven't started on it yet, but what do you guys think?

Yusuke13	I was talking about Rise of Heroes by: Xerse from September 2003. It's still played, and thought the game has no real storyline, and it was developed prior to the ability to create an interface, it has potential. I may mess with it in my spare time.

Cyberlord84	I agree. For a long time I've been contemplating doing a polished version of SpaceTug by Gughunter.

Yusuke13	Right now, I'm reprogramming the entire game, due to the old code being a little, well, inefficient. Some of the icons aren't that great, so I'll either be leaving them out or having them redone.
