Developing the character in the way that I`00have permits me a freedom that most other testers lack -- the freedom to ignore others and not have them think any more of it than "oh...it's just that old hermit again. Don't pay any attention to him. I`00also enjoy exploring new areas, and of course finding treasures (or junk for hocking) here and there along the way. I`00appreciate (but seldom take advantage of), the additional graphics that can be utilized. I enjoy reading the RANT with its whimsical articles. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq4 Mail From: WOWW Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 18:20 EST The adventures, reading the "rant", and talking to the people. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq4 Mail From: LynnS6 Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 19:20 EST .

Getting rare items.. And adventure.. >:) - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq4 Mail From: Eric Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 20:15 EST . It's got to be the adventures. This last one was GREAT. . Also, seeing NEW things.. like the high-rise apartment building. That was great.. very well done. . As long as there is something NEW in Hab.. even if it is something minor, I will be a happy camper. . - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq4 Mail From: Bonnie Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 20:39 EST : The visualization..and after this week- end..the quests! :DDD : Finally..adventures, puzzles..more than trying to dig holes! :D : - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq4 Mail From: Chameleon Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 20:48 EST As I said before - the interaction with other people, in a way other than words typed on a screen. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq4 Mail From: Mysterio Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 20:58 EST I still like doing stuff with the my online friends....solving the adventure as a group added to my enjoyment of it. It is fun to interact with friends using habitat as the interface. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq4 Mail From: SkyLine Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 21:15 EST The basic realism of the environment, and the interactivity with the other players. Also, discovering new areas, and new items that have a definite function. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq4 Mail From: RAOULTFOOL Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 21:22 EST ACK!!!! The ONE best thing??? I guess the one thing is the interaction with other players... But the QUEST was great... - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq4 Mail From: Del March Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 21:30 EST The fact that there always seems to be something to discover makes the game very appealing to me. There's apparant- ly a LOT of pictures crammed onto that disk, and just when I thought I'd seen it all, I find something new. . I especially like how versatile the environment is. There seems to be very little that can't be done in Habitat. "Seeing" the people at the other end of the modem is very refreshing, too. :) - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq4 Mail From: Paul H Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 21:38 EST . Actually seeing the people, or the images of the people!! :) - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq4 Mail From: DragonFyre Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 21:44 EST The fact that you actually get more of a feeling of personal interaction with other users... - And it's also a nice semi-roleplaying environment :> - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq4 Mail From: Cimaron Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 21:51 EST It's close to what an online system should be...navigating around the different areas finding things to do and see. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq4 Mail From: Gary M Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 22:00 EST . I like the interaction of the avatars. YOu can see everyone walking around, able to hold them and hand stuff over. It is a nice and fun little world..... . - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq4 Mail From: Becky Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 22:01 EST . Personally I like the 'shopping' part! . Now all I need are some new and different items to purchase.. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq4 Mail From: John Apple Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 22:33 EST The interactive play with other people. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq4 Mail From: Ks Lass Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 22:40 EST I like the idea that you can create a character of your chosing, design him/ her, and can use a lot of imagination. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq4 Mail From: Cornelius Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 22:43 EST individal initiative: the ability of avatars to choose there own destiny, labors, characters, environments. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq4 Mail From: Kelly Daze Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 23:29 EST Well...graphics are nice :) - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq4 Mail From: CLB Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 23:31 EST it is in real time - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq4 Mail From: Og1 Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 23:44 EST . Avatar to Avatar contact. . - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq4 Mail From: Sky Dragon Date: Tuesday 22-Dec-87 23:45 EST being able to manipulate things. it's a unique experience, being connected to a remote world that I can't touch any way other than through a joystick and keyboard, yet I can make lasting changes in that world. . even something as simple as opening a door - the fact that I can open it, and others see it open, and it stays open until someone closes it, is something new in the world. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq4 Mail From: Elven Mist Date: Wednesday 23-Dec-87 00:07 EST I like the user interaction, I like the fact that you can have an Avatar made more or less the way you want it, and can walk around HAB and be recognised by thouse who know you. Conversly, if you DONT want to be recognised so quickly, you CAN change the way your Avatar looks. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq4 Mail From: CrusRabbit Date: Wednesday 23-Dec-87 00:27 EST That I'm not paying for it.... not sure I would for long. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq4 Mail From: celebrindl Date: Wednesday 23-Dec-87 01:13 EST Adventures, "Danger", Interaction and the "Constant" type world.. (In other words.. the fact that you leave a 'mark' on the world..it doesn't just go away when you sign-off) - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq4 Mail From: AGGIE Date: Wednesday 23-Dec-87 03:13 EST It reminds me of a Cartoon... Do you know of anyone who will not sit through a cartoon?? No matter their age? I would say the graphics....and what has to be done 'behind the scenes' to create that image. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq4 Mail From: THE WALL Date: Wednesday 23-Dec-87 03:42 EST I like being able to customize things.

I haven't been around for the latest 'events', but the last thing that really got me to go in and take a look around was the addition of Commerce St. Rd., Ave., whatever. After roaming the same terrain for a while and trying to 'DO' almost everything in sight, without some additional input, it got 'old' very quickly. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq4 Mail From: Aelora Date: Wednesday 23-Dec-87 21:20 EST Exploring and mapping, and going shopping. :> - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq4 Mail From: Aelora Date: Wednesday 23-Dec-87 21:43 EST Oh pooh... I'm not going to answer the ones I've already done, since my opinion hasn't changed since the first time around... I haven't been online since. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq4 Mail From: ICwhatUmin Date: Thursday 24-Dec-87 18:27 EST Last time 'round I answered this by discussing Hab's potential. I still feel that this is something important. Habitat is a precursor of the next phase in computers. It is the locigal extention of the philosophy that put a Trashcan on a Mac and created GEOS, GEM, Amiga Workbench and others. From text to text/graphics to text/graphics/animation. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mail to: habitatq4 Mail From: QZOOKEEPER Date: Friday 25-Dec-87 16:20 EST The best thing about Habitat is creating your person and having a "visual" self. And being able to see the "others" as you communicate. - - - - - - - - - - - - -
