    That was a fun pair of episodes. Worked much better in two, as opposed to just 1 as they did until now. And I think the right person won, for as much as that's even relevant.

    That gives a whole new meaning to "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway. –Andrew Tanenbaum, 1981"!

    Perhaps some of it would be preinstalled before launch?

    This was a long time ago, we were bored in the office (remember those?), and just downloaded the source of a simple terminal and made it render the other way. It didn't take long, and should basically not have been much more than reversing a for loop somewhere. IIRC it got really funny with ncurses :) Also completely forgot about if afterwards, so I guess it wasn't a success, don't remember.

    I once hacked my terminal to scroll the other way around. It's much better for your posture to look at the higher part of the screen most of the time.

    It's a fun game, esp in online co-op, but it's abandoned by the devs, and it does need more work (balance isn't always great).

    Holy crap how have I not heard of this game before.

    It was a good prize task. Bad scoring, but that's part of the game I suppose.

    Physical giveaway: I have a AYN Odin2 Mini I don't play enough. It's one of these Android handhelds you can use to play retro games on. Also runs Rocknix beautifully. It's a really nice little machine. IFF you can pick it up in person in Berlin you can have it for free. Comes with the box, and it's in good shape, so it still works as a present I think.

    Old Skies was one of my favs. It's not very long, there aren't things you really influence in the story, but it was just a nice story, well paced.
