2 Classic NES Games You'd Never Guess Were Sequels.

This is FAXANADU-



If you've never played it before, here's what it's like-



And this is LEGACY OF THE WIZARD-



And this is what this game is like-

Not a whole lot alike between these two games, huh? Well, somehow they are both part of the same series, one that also contains games even less similar, like Legend of Heroes on the Turbografx CD and Sorcerian (one of my personal favorite Adventure/RPG games). I can find almost nothing similar between any of these games; no recurring characters, locations, or even basic mechanics of gameplay.

Anyway, I can't explain it either.

'Worship' By Mark P. Hensel

Just wanted to show off a cool video by Austin Artist Mark P. Hensel. Snagged it off the Awthum Empire site.

This Guy Gets A Nigerian Scammer To Carve A Commodore 64 Out Of Wood.

Damn, what a score!

One of the crazy scambaiters at 419 Eater managed to convince a Nigerian 419 scammer to make several carvings, including a replica of a Commodore 64.

Curses. Foiled Again.

Well, crap. I ranted to literally everybody that would listen that when Apple released the SDK for the iPhone, I wanted to make a port of "Rogue" for the iPhone.

Well, someone else just did.

Gandreas Software just released a very faithful port for the iPhone, with some really innovative extra features, like the ability to pinch/zoom the graphics, switch from ASCII to graphics by tilting the iPhone, and including gesture-based commands as well.

It actually looks pretty cool.
