It's been years, YEARS since Gerrit first picked up Penguinware's seminal release Oo-Topos. And in that time, long before anyone knew him and when he fought that car, the game has gone unplayed.

Will he ever finish it?

The worst prison you've ever been in is colored purple, son!




Maybe you don't like the graphics?



OR WOULD YOU PREFER HI_RES



FLASH GO THE LASERS GERRIT

Frankly, I'd like some answers.

Let's go with Friday Night. It just sounds right. I'll run through Oo-Topos and you can knock out that Braid problem. Whaddya say?

Oh dear lord Oo-Topos. FLEE.

You know, Stephen, Waystation gave me a strong Oo-Topos vibe...

(but even though I've beaten Oo-Topos and haven't beaten Waystation, ok, Waystation is better)

It is possible that playing things like Oo-Topos when I was wee influenced my early IF.

Pinback just told me that, according to Mobygames, Oo-Topos cannot be finished, due to a necessary item not actually being in the game.

If this is true, Gerrit, then your reasons for never finishing seem complete and valid.... for now.

I'm sure the developers will be OK to fix this issue if we go to them with it as a united group. Those developers that are still alive, I mean.

I'll admit the years have not been kind to it. More and more, Gerrit is looking like the good guy in all of this.

That is not true since I remember beating the game, using only the entire walkthrough from Shay Adamm's Quest For Clues book for assistance!

Friday Game Nite?

I hope on Friday you take your lovely and talented girlfriend out on a date and forget all about this place. That's what I hope, for Friday.

Colorado is so far away. Can I play via Skype or something?

Actually this weekend is the Oklahoma Electronic Gaming Expo, the smaller of the two Oklahoma game expos. So I'll be there Saturday. Also they used a picture of my kid at last year's show in their ads for this year's show, so I feel like I need to go this year so they'll have pix for next year's ads.
