It's slightly more entertaining than that. I mostly posted it because I thought it looked kind of fun and challenging, though it's definitely something I can't imagine ever seeing on American TV.

WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED.

If you like comics about half-vampire private detective skateboard champions, you should be reading the ISB as a matter of course. It's your own fault.

That link's since been deletd by the poster. Anyone care to summarize?

It had a picture of a truck covered in bees up for sale, the guy says stuff like he hasn't been able to get near it for weeks without getting stung, test drive at your own risk, "can't go with you--too many bees", etc.

Secret spaces in Boston. I know some of you like this sort of thing. Better if you've seen a lot of the city, these are mostly the unseen side of local landmarks. Some are better than others, but who doesn't want a look at MIT's nuclear reactor?

Oh, that looks like a lot of fun. Are there a lot of games of this type out there that I'm not thinking of? One of the comments mentioned Subterrainia for Genesis, a game that did gravity and inertia very well, and Oids comes to mind (a fantastic old-school game for the Mac owners, with a great level-editor and teleporters that treated you like a ping-pong ball) but I'm not coming up with a lot else.

Sierra · « **Reply #498 on:** May 16, 2009, 11:38:44 AM »

Miki: Makes me think of Solar Jetman for the NES. Used varying levels of gravity (and anti-gravity) to sometimes annoying effect. Though this game looks much prettier and more fun, obviously.

NotMiki · « **Reply #499 on:** May 16, 2009, 03:00:12 PM »

I appreciate that there are still so many games out there that aren't overdone. Simple concept aided by massive processing power = fun.
