Saying 'hi'

Okay, I guess I haven't properly introduced myself here... my name is David Masters, and I've been computer gaming since 1982. My first computer ever was a Tandy (Radio Shack) CoCo2 (color computer 2), which you hooked up to your TV. Games consisted of cartridges which you shoved into the machine, or you could make your own in BASIC and save on tape casette... yeah, old school. I've been hacking games since then, including old 4 color and 16 color games with Assembly and C (give yourself 99 Sword +16 in Bard's Tale or whatever).

My real claim to fame with level making comes from Railroad Tycoon 2 and Zeus / Poseidon - I am literally a world-acknowleged expert with those; when PopTop came out with RT2 Platinum, they bought scenarios from some of the most prolific level makers, including 6 of mine at $50 each, which was dang nice. I've made over 150 scenarios for Zeus / Poseidon, including one ("Tributaries") that was called 'the benchmark test of player abilities', hard enough that I had to do an easier version. My "Ladies Night" scenarios are also quite popular, though they push the PG limits of the forums and the game. I also worked with a couple of people tofix and update the shaders for Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy... you can find my work for any of those games listed under 'Nightwolf' and 'ChernyVolk' (Russian for 'black wolf').

Not that any of that matters here - I picked up Mekorama about 3 weeks ago, and I've done all the levels that came with it, though some I had to go online and look up the solution. In addition, I've got 22 levels saved from these forums, from all sorts of people. I'm just a newbie here, and I guess I'll learn.
