Does anyone know what this game is?
Feb. 18th, 2011 07:05 pmSo there was this game I was playing in the early 90's.
Shareware.
I got it from Hi Micro.
It was complicated.
I made maps. (WARNING! BIG FILES)
Map 1
Map 2
Map 3
Map 4
Map 5
The game (apparently) featured the following spells:
Does anyone recognise this game?

Feb. 4th, 2011 07:51 amThis is coming raw off the top of my head via my iPhone so I apologise for typos and the like.
Last night I was watching yet another group working on "let's help the third world by bootstrapping some tech together so they can jumpstart toasted at least the twentieth century" and it got me thinking about a different sort of mechanicalization that these projects inevitably seem to miss. To wit: none of these projects seem to help with roles traditionally performed by women. I cannot remember where I saw the comment, but recently I saw a soundbite mentioning "the prison of the laundry". Cooking, cleaning and washing are at least as much of a labour trap as maintaining fields or building primitive houses are. Now I'm trying to think of a way of building an ultra low cost labour saving device for washing, cleaning and cooking. I envision a simple two stroke engine as the power source with a 44 gallon drum attached for washing and drying. Noisy and loud but one would do for an entire village. I'll keep niggling this one I think.
More ideas to follow.

MAME Cabinet
Oct. 1st, 2010 02:35 pmI'm gonna finally bite the bullet and order some parts for a MAME Cab. New joysticks, buttons, a trackball and a proper keyboard encoder.
Then down to Bunnings for MDF. Initially I'll just build the controller shelf, with the aim being to build the rest of the cabinet once I have the controller shelf finished.
It'll be a 2 player layout initially, with Trackball, spinner, 8 button layout plus Pinball buttons. Turns out there's some really funky stuff out there to make it all work.
