Did you know you can play that game at HomestarRunner.com?

There's also a StrongBad email where he's playing the game, gets killed, gives up and answers an email.

BTW thanks alot for getting me hooked on Homestar!  :P ;D

Hey, that computer looked amazingly like the "up to date" computer I got @ Robins in '88..it was TEMPEST certified, but didn' have the color monitor...and I was supposed to write performance reports on it while the Missile Sq commander had the Z248..it had 1 Meg of RAM..a LUXURY then 

Mike, the old fart

Trogdor!!!

Ahem, sorry, got carried away there.

Two of those things that really make me smile these days: Homestar Runner and remembering those days when Life consisted of hanging out in Arcades with my pals.
