Mystery of Space and Time

Now this game has great potential.  Mystery of Space and Time is a refreshing game to play, like the text adventures of the old days.. I remember you mentioning it way back when Angelus, but when I couldn't play past level 3, I gave up and haven't looked at it since until now.  Today, I beat it of c...

You know, I really wasn't looking forward to this game like everyone else.. not sure why, but it wasn't until I found that I felt soo disappointed it was canceled that I realized how much I did want to see and play the game!  :eek

France's terrible proposed copyright law..

The entertainment companies have managed to stack France's new copyright law with innumerable, terrible clauses (no Free/Open Source software that can be used to share copyrighted works; all such software to have mandatory DRM, ISPs to mandatorily filter all traffic) and to cook the process so that ...

Hmm.. on closer inspection, it appears the listed quantity is '1' for each 'collection'. Unfortunately, this is looking more and more like an erronous post by someone who happens to have some of the old collections.  Chances are the price will change by or on October 11th, when it goes for sale..
