Wow, I’m over here talkin’ green rabbits and Jazz Jackrabbit didn’t even come to mind. Evil turtles, hoverboards, big rockets, attack birds, 2 1/2 dimensional graphics on the bonus levels – this was a game that had everything. Truly one of the masterpieces of the shareware age.

In fact, new poll: best shareware game?

There are so many greats that it’s tough to choose…Jazz Jackrabbit was incredible, but I think I’m going to have to go with Commander Keen VI: Goodbye Galaxy. What can I say, the Bean-with-bacon Megarocket was one classy ride.

I have great memories of going to computer shows in the early 90′s with my Dad when we lived in Groton, CT…we’d drive an hour into the state to spend a couple hours milling around some sleazy motel conference room filled with tables loaded with shareware and homemade programming stuff.

I always ended up taking a new piece of DOS shareware home, while my Dad was usually shopping for new creative stuff for the ol’ Atari ST.

I probably spent the most time playing Jazz Jackrabbit. That game was pretty awesome, and the rabbit princess was sorta hot.

Never work at a place you like to shop at.

Christ, 2 AM. 2 AM and nowhere near bed.

Insomnia is my dearest friend.

Damn it, why does it seem like Saturday is the only day I forget to visit X-E.

If they make a Thundercats movie, Jack Black should play Snarf. Don’t ask me why, maybe it’s the belly.

Best day: Silverchair concert. ‘Nuff said.

Don’t feel bad about not getting to bed at nearly 2 am Matt. I never get into bed before 4 am these days. I just like being up at night. Kind of a "my time" sort of thing.

Me so lonely.

Somehow or another, I slept for 16 hours yesterday. Seriously. I didn’t even wake up once. I think I’m dying.
So I’ve been up since midnight, playing Mario Party and watching Nick @ Nite. Yay.

Oh yea, you have to check this out.

I SO wish I had a dog to put that on.

Night_Trekker: As bad as Taco Bell’s Tasty Temple Challenge sounds just from the title, nothing can be worse than Mall Mania the official Pamida Video Game (not to be confused with Diva Stars: Mall Mania).

It’s the only game I can think of where the object is for you and a horrible AI opponent to run around frantically in one of 5 different Pamida stores (including Future Pamida and Water Park Pamida) to pick up boxes of Tampax Tampons and Kellogs Frosted Flakes and throw them into your cart while you race around check points to the cash register.

And no, not a bit of that is exaggerrated, you really shop for Tampax in this game.

Cheaptrick, thanks for bringing up Ducktales. If anyone knows of someone who has a taped copy of the pilot TV movie, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0191102/">Ducktales: Treasure of the Golden Suns, please consider sending a copy to Matt. Hopefully it will be included in the DVD release, but I am too tired to look into it right now.

Ducktales DVD release? When? Where? How?

What about TaleSpin? That’s the show I want to see on DVD…

I was just thinking the other day how I want Eek! The Cat to come out on DVD. Loved that one… totally loved it.

Dohopoki: O_O

You win, good sir.

My local Wal-Mart just recently completed renovations and is now doing back-to-school/end-of-quarter clearances and such. The ROTS display is getting reconfigured, and the Hallowe’en aisle is starting to sprout. Time to start laying in supplies!

I missed the Saturday night boredom thread because I was in Bellefontaine checking out a regional heavy metal festival. The higher-card acts included All that Remains, 3 Inches of Blood, Six Feet Under and Chimaira. Each of the bands left it all on the stage, but 3ioB stole the show. Beers were only a buck apiece, so I got decidedly wasted as I was checking out some kick-ass metal while surrounded by unwashed rednecks who were twisted all to fuck on meth and having clumsy, unprotected sex in tents and making little redneck babies with brain-defects. It was a good night, to say the least.
