How to increase profits? Lower costs and sell it like hotcakes. Easier said than done for a large chunk of the production industry but this site shows at least one company with the goods.

Old and New Games for the Grabbing
Have you ever wanted to play Ancient Art of War, MULE, TacOps and a slew of other games that circulated on your computer over the last 30 or so years? If so head on over to The Underdog Games Site. Here you will find well over 1500 full computer games form the 70’s thru the Now that are either Abandoned, Forgotten, or let out as Free by the creators. A truly amazing site when you see the scope of depth they reivew, document and comment on these games as well as making full versions of them available to play.
To see a bit of their goods, here is a list of War Games sorted by Yeard , heres just the SSI Games. The fun is never ending at this site.
If nothing else this will be a great tool to work out new game ideas by using the old ones as test beds and jumping off points.
Warp War on the Decks
Yes strategy game fever is taking hold. I just own an ebay auction for a copy of Warp War . This is the first ebay thing i have bid on in years, had to make a new account and everything.
If things go well I should be able to play this in a week or two. I think i already have the Cyberboard gamebox for it. If anyone wants to partake in a few games let me know.
FlashBack Philosophy
Ive been spending the last few months reading and working thru the masses of mouths talking about/peddling/ushing various hazzanas to P2P. Seems to me its yet another hype fest set up by and for the same mouths that were feed by the hype of B2B, TheWeb, IntraNetworking, and going back to the 80’s..Expert Systems.
Sharing data and building group workspaces is nothing new. Its the continuing extension of the need for people to be connected. Everything and Egroups are more P2P in practice than 80% of the schemes Ive heard come out of the lists of pundits.
The best thing to come out of the whole thing is my refinding Adam Ant. Yea its a jump or two on the tree of interconnectedness, but it is the shiz…..
I’m the dandy highwayman so sick of easy fashion
the clumsy boots, peek-a-boo roots that people think so dashing
so what’s the point of robbery when nothing is worth taking? (oh oh)
it’s kind of tough to tell a scruff the big mistake he’s making
we’re the dandy highwaymen so tired of excuses
of deep meaning philosophies where only showbiz loses
we’re the dandy highwaymen and here’s our invitation (oh oh)
“throw your safety overboard and join our insect nation”
stand and deliver your money or your life!
try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife!
and even though you fool your soul
your conscience will be mine
all mine
