There is a lot of crossing between Fantasy and Sci-fi in the early stories. The John Carter of Mars stories by Edgar Rice Burroughs have some weird technology with sword and sorcery tropes, IIRC. The Dragonriders of Pern by Anne McCaffrey transitioned from one genre to the other. And, of course, we…
This is what's keeping me from working on my own "John Carter of Mars" game. The books (at least the first 5-6) are public domain, but Edgar Rice Burroughs, inc has John Carter, Dejah Thoris, etc., all trademarked, and can continue that indefinitely. I don't think it…
My fear with any Snowcrash adaptation is that it will feel like John Carter of Mars (or Warhammer Online [1]). John Carter was a groundbreaking novel, but its ideas became so adapted and universally understood that revisiting them in a movie felt ironically like derivative work. If…
我也会拿《火星上的约翰·卡特》（巴勒斯，1912年）来说明同样的观点。尤其是考虑到它里面的一些“科幻”元素在100多年后读起来的感觉。

《火星上的约翰·卡特》系列小说经受住了时间的考验，魅力依旧。
The John Carter of Mars books have traveled remarkably well through time.
早期的故事里奇幻和科幻之间有很多交叉。我没记错的话，埃德加·赖斯·巴勒斯的《火星上的约翰·卡特》系列就有些离奇古怪的技术，同时带有一招一式的剑与魔法套路。安妮·麦卡弗里的《佩恩龙骑士》则是从一种类型跨界到了另一种类型。当然，我们……

这就是让我没法着手开发自己的“火星上的约翰·卡特”游戏的原因。那些书（至少前5-6本）已经属于公有领域了，但埃德加·赖斯·巴勒斯公司把约翰·卡特、德佳·索丽斯等所有名字都注册成了商标，而且可以无限期续展下去。我觉得这……

对于任何《雪崩》的影视改编，我最担心的就是它会让人感觉像《火星上的约翰·卡特》（或者《战锤Online》[1]）。《约翰·卡特》是一部开创性的小说，但它的创意被后人借鉴得太多、普及得太广，以至于重温电影版时，讽刺的是反而让人觉得像个山寨货。如果……
