Alcohol is ALWAYS a good thing
Until you start acting like an ass to your friends. So no, not always a good thing.
Often it is.
Sometimes it can be a good thing, but it should never be a necessary thing.

Well, character, as it might be - however, you know that characters don't exist yet, right?
However, I'm happy you are making an entry.

And to other replies in general:
I will be starting the thread later today.

Has anyone ever done a NES based on 'Emperor of the Fading Suns'?

I don't think so. Not in my time, at least.

Probing for interest: UFoNES 2
Inspired by Luckymoose's rampaging DwarfNES.
For those who don't know (I've done this before a year or two ago), it would be based on a computer game that I'd play, UFO: Enemy Unknown (called UFO Defense in the USA). This game is very old, older than many forumers here I think (1993?). The game has many parts to it, but the main focus is turn-based / grid-based isometric shooting action with small squads of soldiers against aliens. Players would adopt a newbie recruit and say how I should make them behave in battle. Infinite recruits can be hired, so long as I have money, but they start with poor/random skills. Skills and Rank are automatically increased by surviving missions and earning kills. All the soldiers can be renamed in-game.
Objective: Rather than try to play through to the assault on Cydonia (on mars!), I propose a limited 6-mission tour of duty, at least to start with, basically to see who can survive and maybe just do something heroic along the way. I will play a harder difficulty, starting a new game without any of the advanced weapons, or armour. Casualties are expected to be heavy. Rather than play a mission per update, I might post an update half-way through a mission so people can give more input for their dudes in battle. Note that when and where the missions take place is not fixed, but depends on the results of various dogfights and UFO attacks happening in real time across a 3D planet map. There might be UFO landings, UFO crash retrievals, alien terror attacks on cities, alien attacks on our base(s) or us attacking an alien base.
Technical: I've just downloaded and tried out the DOS version, running under DOSbox. This had a few advantages to the windows version I used before (which was patched for XP compatibility, but I doubt there's a Vista fix for it) - paradoxically it can now be played in a window, and DOSbox also has a nifty image capture thing built in, so true action shots are now possible

Civ1 is from '91 and I am still fan of this game. X-CoM series are from 93-94 but still one of the best games. Not hyber graphics, but awsome for playability (not most modern games, what you can complete in ~3 days.
