An old friend has left the world

I enjoyed CAD so much that when Tournament Dreams College Basketball was released I bought it. Hundreds of hours of fun followed for me and when Total Pro Football was released I bought it. A little helping with TPF patches and Arlie and TC asked me to co-moderate the TPF forum. I've enjoyed the hours of playing and testing all the games and am very sad to see that familiar and comforting .400 banner be folded. I know through all the bitterness and harsh words that people posted in the forum through the last year they did it out of love. I think we all feel a loss but joy is on the horizon with all the great programmers moving to Grey Dog Software. I know for me it's great to see Arlie, Gary and Adam continue the fine groundwork that .400 laid down. Hey does anyone remember a few guys with a little baseball game? OOT something....or Shaun and Puresim and the others that over the years that made .400 software studios such a special place. I'm going to miss the political debates that happened on the forums and the knowledge that even in the final hours people do care for all the friends at .400 that we made and lost. TC Dale a true champion of the boards and a person I truly call friend. I look forward to a long friendship with you and your family. Arlie and Farrah thanks for everything you've done for me. I also number you among my friends. Scott Vibert behind the scenes he did so for .400 and a person I also call friend. Gary Gorski I appreciate your letting me help to make your basketball games and I look forward to a continued friendship. Thanks to everyone that made .400 Software Studios such a special place.

The company, primarily through Arlie, produced some of the finest games that I have played. Hope all goes well with those who were involved with the endeavor.

I am such a virgin in all of this. I enjoyed TPB and TEW so much that this site has become my new interest on the net. I hope they continue in greydogsoftware the great work on satisfying my craving for simulation games as well as all who enjoyed this type of gaming. At least we can learn from .400 Software Studios mistakes and continue to make this company the best sims product in the market. Which is a good thing for fans like me.
