I bumped into an interesting site recently – http://www.choiceofgames.com/dragon/. These people have made a multiple choice dragon game.

For everyone who’s waiting for the Zombie game, here’s how the release going to happen. I still have some minor things to do – readme and program icon, stuff like that. That will take a couple of hours, after I get home from work. I’m going to put the game up for download sometime this [...]
