"When you're writing a program,more often than not you' re workingwith an original idea. That's similar,"Dollard says. However, he says that writing a programdoes not take as much time aswriting a book and that, "with only 16Kin the console,'' " the programmer islimited while "if you were writing abook the possibilities are endless forthe information you could put in." Harter sees "a lot of similarities. Iknow because we also accept otherpeople's works and it's really similar.People apply. to us all the time just likea writer would go to a publisher. Sometimesthey're very good and I don'tknow what to say because they're notthe kind of game we want to put out orthey're the kind of game we don't thinkwould sell very well for us. For me, it'slike self-publishing. It's like whenprinting was first invented and a writercould get in on the ground floor byf o r m i n g h i s o w n p u b l i s h i n gforming his own publishing company."
