(I think there was something more in the description, to make it more Lovecraftian than Tolkenian, but it's been so long since I played the game that I can't be sure.)Ilmari Jauhiainenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01655841880034965950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-25401052724415374132019-03-18T04:24:38.854+11:002019-03-18T04:24:38.854+11:00Errr, there was a tentacle monster in Tolkien: htt...Errr, there was a tentacle monster in Tolkien: http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Watcher_in_the_WaterCanageekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03770924810559440307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-7033916717928355962015-11-23T05:51:06.966+11:002015-11-23T05:51:06.966+11:00I haven't really explored the opportunities of...I haven't really explored the opportunities offered by the interpreter, except the obvious one of playing the games.

I have mine with white text on a black background, and a monospaced, larger font.<br /><br />I also prefer to use a window taller than it is wide (so the picture is on the top, but most of the window is text, instead of the picture using half the window like we see here), but this is just a question of personal taste.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10155410179950267253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-67906145302939974232015-11-21T00:40:59.258+11:002015-11-21T00:40:59.258+11:00Hey, it might well be, Kenny!Hey, it might well be, Kenny!Ilmari Jauhiainenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01655841880034965950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-2537652213212674582015-11-20T18:06:14.343+11:002015-11-20T18:06:14.343+11:00I thought the worm was the Mongolian Death Worm?I thought the worm was the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongolian_death_worm" rel="nofollow">Mongolian Death Worm</a>?Kenny McCormickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01553499727945099493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-37736097147898997472015-11-20T18:02:18.906+11:002015-11-20T18:02:18.906+11:00Yeah, them Korean MVs in the pre-2010's era we...Yeah, them Korean MVs in the pre-2010's era were terrible.<br /><br />Now, it's all sexed-up to be anything but.Kenny McCormickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01553499727945099493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-4857465896084161052015-11-20T15:03:12.936+11:002015-11-20T15:03:12.936+11:00It might be something do with the contrast.

White text from black background stands out a bit better than black text from white background.<br /><br />Well, yes, there's figures from Egypt (pyramid and sphinx), Arabia (djinn and Open sesame), Bible (Goliath-style giant), Tibet (snowman), Middle-Earth (orcs), Dune (sand worm) and Lovecraft (tentacled monster), so Mongol horde would just make sense!<br /><br />Seriously, I think I've put the desert behind me now. This seems to be quite linear game, where you move from area with one theme (desert) to another (underground river/lake), without ever returning to the earlier area.Ilmari Jauhiainenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01655841880034965950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-40838926265972992012015-11-20T14:53:49.355+11:002015-11-20T14:53:49.355+11:00And it was the best 20 seconds!And it was the best 20 seconds!Ilmari Jauhiainenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01655841880034965950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-73049189439405824302015-11-20T07:59:59.613+11:002015-11-20T07:59:59.613+11:00Hilariously, the BBC emulator images are far clea...Hilariously, the BBC emulator images are far clearer (I tend to view this site on my phone) to read than the comparably far more modern layout of the other emulator.<br /><br />This really is an obscene mishmash of cultures.
