I came across a reference to Dark Tower yesterday.

We had this game when I was a kid and loved it. Come to find out the entry price nowadays is at least 150$ on eBay. Nope.

I Googled it and came across a great site.

So, there's got to be a computer version, right?

Right, and it kicks butt two times if you ever played and loved Dark Tower. Just hearing the sound effects and seeing the graphics brings back great memories of playing it on the floor in our room.

Simply click on the following links:

(And how’s about that nice Raiders of the Lost Ark address, also from our childhood?!?)

Then you’ll need the Java Runtime Environment:

No need to thank me for all of these exquisite time-wasters.

Oh, yeah, this page also list Dragonmaster, which we also had and played as kids. Same illustrator. They've even got an interview with the guy.

Am I getting old and lame, is that why this nostalgia is hitting me so hard, longing for a better day? I hope not.
