	5.	History
	-------------------------------------
1998. Started with a game called 'A Candle In The Dark', an
rpg adventure game, which is based on my rollplaying world Gondolin.

1999. Almost finished "A Candle In The Dark" but having problems
with memory! Gave the project up for awhile.

2000. Found 4id19 on the net, and began creating The Siege Of Gondor
using 4id19 as a ground engine (firts tilebased demo I understood).

2000 January. The Siege Of Gondor Ver 2.3 released

	6.	Future plans
	-------------------------------------
Middle Earth Tale 2. is probaly being programed while you
read this.
It will hopefully include MIDI music,Wave sound,scrolling NPCs,
and more GIFs.
If YOU have any ideas for my next Middle Earth Tale game,
don't hasitate and mail me ( I could use someone to tell me
how to use different libs, I can't use them!!!)
I also hope to finish the game 'A Candle In The Dark' soon.
