Thank you, internet.
Last night while avoiding doing anything that might resemble being productive I stumbled on Eversion - a free to download old school style platformer. It came out at the end of last year, but it’s new to me. The looks are cutesy, but we start with a quote from H.P. Lovecraft and a warning that reads “NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN OR THOSE WITH A NERVOUS DISPOSITION.” This is, of course, a joke, but it ends up being a little closer to the truth than I originally thought. Looking at the readme file reveals the story, which is as follows. (No joke.)
princess is kidnapped
you must save princess
Well they get points for being concise, at least.
The rest is over on my n-philes blog, which you should go look at because you love me.
That’s funny that you found that yesterday because I also found a classic type freeware game called Spelunky. You’re pretty much an 8-bit Indiana Jones.
Sure you’re not thinking of “Chasm Spasm?”
