When I was in grades ~4-8 I was placed in my school's special education stream, which really just amounted to a day a week of totally unstructured play in an incredibly well kitted out classroom (at the high school across the road, no less). There was a group of us that spent more or less every available second in that classroom playing this game on the Apple II, sharing secrets and strategies through the (surprisingly long) game. I credit a large part of who I am to today to it.<p>As a grown up I've watched video walkthroughs of it numerous times with my daughter, and have been meaning to figure out a way to actually play it with her. This.... is amazing.<p>Goodbye, Friday!
Multiple tens of hours of amazing YouTube content surrounding the effort and all of the spiffy things going on with Emscripten and such.<p>Having only briefly heard of the game when I was younger it is amazing to go through it and just how in depth it is. Had I seen this as a kid I would've freaked.
oh my goooosh this is amazing.
