Nostalgia Thursday - SSI Dungeon Masters Assistant Vol I Unboxing

Jayson Elliot, Chief Cook and Bottle Washer for the excellent Gygax Magazine, had been searching for a Dungeon Masters Assistant from SSI to run on his Apple 2 for some time when he happened to get hold of one.  The only problem was that it was still in shrinkwrap.  That wasn't going to deter him from having his cake and eating it too.  In his own words as he cut into the shrinkwrap, "Collector value decreasing.  Fun value increasing."  Some of the best fun I have had watching an unboxing video in forever. See more here on his Facebook video (you might have to sign in to see it but it is a public video).

Atari E.T. Cartridges Found In New Mexico Landfill

If you are a fan of both urban legends and bad video games, you probably know the story of Atari invested so heavily and blundered so badly putting out the E.T. video game that it eventually buried millions of unsold copies in a landfill in New Mexico.  Turns out it might be at least partially true.  Read more here!

RayFrakked

The developer of a new video game called RayFrakked is trying to gather some playtesters.  In his own words, as posted on EN World.org -


I've been looking for betatesters for a computer game I'm developing, RayFrakked. While doing so, it occurred to me where I could find one of the largest bunch of gamers on the net. Gamers that know how to pick apart a game to it's basic rules and make a game designer sob in the corner while rocking gently back an forth. Rayfrakked is a massively single player puzzle game, allowing players to not only play to solve puzzles, but to also make your own puzzles and inflict them on people who might have otherwise been your friends. We're a small publishing house, consisting of... me. One of the things I could really use are people to look over the game, test and comment. If you're interested in helping out, you can email me at rayfrakked@gmail.com
