Thanks for your kind reply.  I did always wanted to consider making a similar type of game.  I just wanted to tell that your comment kept hammering my mind this last 3 years.  Today I can finally reply to it with a nice feeling :) 

I do not know if you are still around, but HUGE thank you.  I finally mange to get the motivation and determination as to help me build the 'inspired by' but fully original game I have been wanting to build ever since I got inspired by these amazing IREM's game series.  The game I'm going to build will be way different but hopefully not in a bad way.  I hope to be able to achieve the same type of feel/atmosphere to it, even while it will be based on a very different and fully original: story, content and game universe.
