The local branch of Game had a couple of CDs of old Sierra games in their sale. One had 5 Leisure Suit Larry games and the other had 6 Space Quest games on it, and they all work on XP.

If there is one reason above all others why I have not written much here for a few days, it has to be Duke Nukem.
The other day I found out about EDUke32 and downloaded it. This is a re-write of Duke Nukem for Windows XP/2000 and its brilliant. You have to have your original [...]

Just to pass the time, here is a Bloggers4Labour puzzle, based on the meet-up at last year’s party conference in Brighton.
Its only a bit of fun, and non-competitive… but I shall be put out if anyone beats my best of 326 moves in 3mins and 6 seconds…
