Rareness & Coolness

Okay, I'm 39 years old so I can't be cool any more. And actually I never was cool. This is not a surprise to anyone who actually knows me, of course. :D

But I've found a couple of cool links, and rather than just note them down for myself, I thought I'd post them here for the 4.2 people who might actually read this.

Unfortunately I'm short of time, so this will be briefer than usual.

Adventure
Adventure was a really fun game for the old Atari 2600. Extremely simple, but it had great playability. There were three levels and three dragons, but there was a rumor that there was a secret fourth level with an acid-breathing dragon (I love that phrase). The actual fourth level wasn't really much of a level, although it was still pretty cool.

Anyway, a guy named Craig Pell made a complete re-creation of Adventure for the PC a while ago. For various reasons he called it "Indenture". And it's available for download here.

Easter Eggs

I found a fun site for Easter Eggs while I was Googling for Adventure/Indenture.

Diablo Columns
Last but not least, this guy wrote a series of Diablo columns that I find extremely amusing: Flux's Decahedron


And now, something that's useful for me.
