Wait...I-War 2 original release? I WANT IT!
(It does come with the manual and other documentation, right?)
You take PayPal, right?

Sorry Nameless, DX got in there first. If I see another copy at the shop though, your name is top of the list.

Was that pun intended? :p

I may be stupid, but I don't get it. WTF is that, Sluggs?

Okay, I should have replied to this a LONG time ago, but since I didn't get into my Seiklus mood until now...

Try taking a closer look at that weird mural in the area with the "ghosts" that pop when they touch you. You've most likely seen it, and it's a hint. There's a lot of these around the game - little details, usually on the walls, that are different from everything else. They're usually a hint that there's a secret area around; however the mural is a blatantly obvious irregularity and does not hint at a nearby secret.
I still don't understand the mural, if the weird colors to the left of that ladder are what you're talking about. (Maybe I should just upload a pic...)

I didn't see (

It's one of the official games for the 2008 ESWC (Electronic Sports World Cup) and an incredibly fun game, particularly for a LAN party.

Wow. (

Hot (or still-warm, at any rate) on the heels of their making their trippy first release (

Because it's that time of year when everyone should be thinking about sharing, absolutely, and we want to show our gratitude to gamers (you know who you are) for supporting us --but also because free stuff is fun!
The best part is yet to come. This applies to BOTH the Mac and PC versions of these games!

The busy bods at (
http://www.ovine.net/) Ovine by Design (who have brought us the excellent Imogen, XOR, and Cholo remakes in recent years, among others) have completed their (
http://exile.ovine.net/) successor to Jeremy "Thrust" Smith and Peter "Starship Command" Irvin's "(
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exile_(arcade_adventure)) Exile" -- the legendary physics-based arcade adventure that was one of the last high-points of gaming on the 8-bit BBC Micros (and was subsequently ported to the C64 and some of the 16-bit machines of the day).
Apparently they've had a legal issue with the name "Exile", so the game now sports its original subtitle as its main title, which amusingly means the game is named "(
http://exile.ovine.net/) The Nameless".
With physics-based gameplay now all the rage, it's worth taking a trip down memory lane to relive one of the first (and certainly the most complex) games to really do such things in earnest -- 20 years ago.
(And if The Nameless is easier than its forebear, I might actually manage to finish it :)

Was Exile related to that ColecoVision game called Hero?
