[casual_games] Question About Adobe/Macromedia Director as a Development Platform....

[Robert Gordon]

IMHO, Director is extremely well suited for casual game development - and
yes, you do get the added benefits of Desktop/Web/Mac/Win versions with
relatively little extra dev time. We do just about all of our titles in
Director. What was the last version you worked with?
