I think those two Penny Arcade guys are reprehensible people and terribly unfunny, and I thought that BEFORE their ignorant opinion of that game. I was in on the ground floor!

Would you mind backing that stuff up and making it available online somewhere, maybe the Internet archive? Just kinda need to put that out there....

I liked your review. If people name their game after a thing and decide not to stay true to the thing, I think that's a perfectly good reason to call them out.

Great pics! And hooray for the IIgs!

That reminds me of my "Fahrenheit 451" story, though. I once wrote a review of the game for "Home of the Underdogs", which you can read here: http://www.homeoftheunderdogs.net/game.php?id=395

Now, I admit, I probably was a bit unfair to the game; I never played more than a couple locations into it, as the absurdity kind of disgusted me.

My HotU review eventually resulted in a Penny Arcade blog post where one of those guys derided my review and was just generally SO ANGRY. Unfortunately, though, they lost a bunch of their early-days posts due to some hard drive crash along the way, and that post was lost forever (as it is not on the Wayback Machine).

The Time I Pissed Off One of those Penny Arcade Guys is probably my favorite Lost Internet thing, though.

Back when I was in college I remember another guy there who mentioned how Maxell made the best quality floppy disks. Sounds like years later the guy was proven right.

This is terrific news. And you just found it! You and Flack find the best stuff at these offbeat places for software.

It pleases me greatly that the floppy still worked, too. ;)

Look what I found at the Bookman's in Tucson, on Speedway between Country Club and Alvernon, on Sunday! Trillium's Farenheit 451, in box, with docs. And a bonus mystery floppy and Infocom card, too!



P.S. Roody, that's your Apple II GS it's running on.
