That was a wonderful link, Angelus!
Now if only the grumpy gamer became a grumpy game-developer again...
A great link I found on the site, my favorite so far (and not only because it mentions Grim Fandango:

Hmm, not sure what to make of that, but I will certainly check it out. Sadly, Monkey Island was one of the many games that I missed in its prime.

I was really more into console games in days of yore. Of course, I realize now that there are great games on all systems; you just have to find them. Speaking of which, I came across a rather fun little ( 194 MB :lol ) demo for a game called Evil Genius. If you feel like checking it out it is at www.howevilareyou.com
