The battle was joined... and I was victorious!

California wildfires got you down? Global economic meltdown souring your mood? If so, how about casting your troubles aside and returning to the halcyon days of the 1980s when a B movie actor in the White House reassured Americans with his grandfatherly ways, while an Oscar-winning actor invited young and old alike to battle brigands and dragons in a quest to find the three keys that gain entry to... The Dark Tower!



Working versions of The Dark Tower game currently fetch prices approaching $100 on Ebay. Yet you can now play this wildly addictive game online courtesy of Hot Flash Games. Same sound effects, same damn brigand hordes that drove me crazy all those misspent years ago. Sadly, there is no Flash animation of Orson Wells, although there should be. Check it out. You know you want to.
