I think what he's saying is interactive play while the ball is still live. For example, a mode where the vengeance is on the DMD shooting lasers at you, when it hits you, the game shakes and your shields deplete a little. You, the player, need to be making shield target shots to keep your shields up and hit the power up targets to charge your weapons and fire! Would be a bitchin interactive mode. Could take it a step further, the longer you wait and charge your weapons more, the stronger your lasers would be. But, you'll take more damage so gotta keep those shields up! Love it!

What if they put Kahn on the DMD and he would talk during the mode. Then say, I've had enough...fire! If you survive his attack he could say something like 'impressive'. He can continue to taunt but when you fire your cannons the DMD animation could kind of shake with the vengeance ship and he would stagger a bit on the animation to show you hit him and he could say something else. Til one of you are defeated.

Back then, Lonnie & Lyman were working together on code. They we're split up starting with TRON. Its no wonder code takes longer now. If they produce a game with an over the top theme (zombies?), Ritchie designing, and Lonnie/Lyman tag teamming the code...they would sell millions!

Here's a little FYI message to the Star Trek supporters out there:

"Please be patient, it's all going to happen."

Have a nice day. back to work i go
