Decisions, Decisions, Revisions
I just wanted to give everyone a quick update: I am working on a few changes to the site. I’m considering two new areas: The first would be about Linux, my thoughts about working with and on it, along with (of course) gaming on Linux. ;D The second would be a retro gaming section, where I talk about older games and/or games that have received little press.
I have to give some props to the games that I grew up on, like Kings Quest, Oregon Trail, Police Quest, Commander Keen.. all the good ones.
What games were around when you were growing up? Let me know by leaving your comments, and I’ll see what I can dig up. <3
