 LOST v0.2 "Beta-WRY" (source from Feb 15, 1999)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I thought a few people might enjoy this release.

This is a pre-beta-alpha-mega-gamma release of Wry 1 that I found rotting on my computer.
It's completely untouched. (As you can see by the "date modified" of 2/15/1999) and 
a snapshot of the program at that point in developement. It is still going by the old 
title of "Lost". Also some other interesting side notes: 

  The episodes are reffered to as "seperate games"
  There are only two "games" or "episodes".
  The "Major Secret" is not yet implemented.
  Nukem Enterprises is under the old company name of "Eriksen Inc."
  Menu screens don't have the "Star field" background.
  Main menu isn't formatted different from the tutorial it was ripped from.
  Title/pre-title not in "3d text"
  The "final exit scene" is completely different.
  It still has the "original" basic credits screen. (no humor)
  I believe there's some music missing (ex: game over screen).
  The first episode ends early - different win screen.
  The second episode is not anywhere near finished.
  General "more out of date than the final version" information everywhere.
  Atleast the spelling errors are the same! :P
  
If I remember correctly the game stayed "stuck" at this point for a long time. 
(Pretty much until I went hardcore and programmed the last 2 episodes in a week 
before release. :P)

I know for most people this means nothing, but for the few who care it's quite 
interesting to look at. (I just can't believe I found a copy of it!)

And another side note, I found this looking for the most updated version of "Numb" 
so that I could finish that. (Apparently I have about 100 on my computer. haha)

Anyway, have fun and enjoy this little piece of NE history.
