What I crave on Indiedb.com

Now this is the kinda Old School I CRAVE! *lip smakin' good*

How far can you make it? Battle through randomly generated lands and 1000 randomly generated dungeons. Slay monsters, gather resources, and craft new an powerful weapons. All to see just how far you can go. Die in dungeon 999? Start over from one. This is a war of perseverance.

The battle system for 1000 dungeons gives players a humber of strategic options each turn, and they will need to pay attention to how enemies move and attack so they can implement the best strategies to make it as far through the 100 dungeons as they can.

This image shows the first randomly generated world. The amount of each terrain type, and placement of each terrain type is all randomly generated as well as the placement of the dungeons. The game uses a special "growth" algorithm that builds the world dynamically based on random seed positions of each terrain type.

When you are in the dungeon, you can only see as far as your light will allow you. The game features a dynamic shadowing feature that only shows you what your player can see. This similar to the shadowing functionality in Nox.

Nin-ten-do, It's for breakfast now.

I ran into this this evening. I just want mine back. I miss it so! I remember playing endless hours playing in insane chunks of time. I remember playing Super Mario Brothers ALL THE WAY TO THE VERY END, AND DYING. Yeah the first taste of that just still resinates deep in my very soul.  After doing that several times I stopped playing. But then I found Simons' Quest. Damn that kicked ass. I got do good at killing stuff with my whip. Then my first taste of  RPG on a console, Ultima! I still have to get my kicks every now and then and load up some Ultima on DosDose.com. 

I was so attached to my console I remember coming home after school. I had got it for Christmas so I played for two weeks straight. I came in my room and got ready to settle in. But I felt a strange feeling in my gut when I walked past my TV. There was something amiss in the Force. I felt it. I felt the violation. I shrugged it off and started playing. Later I found out my mum was vacuuming and gave gaming a go for the first time!

So I found this lunch box below. I was a little sad because I really want a working console... But I soon started to seep into my consciousness... how would I change it. Now I am thinking it needs a woman's touch.  I would start with a nicer handle, the dad case handle isn't my cup of tea. Then I am thinking a make up case, put dividers in it... No wait, a craft box... well any way. I was looking at prices at my local store, I could buy two. I will let you know if I beat that final level of Mario Brothers.

I would so remove the hardware, find something in the more brushed silver look. It needs more of a design to it. Something that matches! I need to charge my power tools.
