<![CDATA[Googlewhacks]]>I just got the weirdest e-mail...

"Hello there,

Please pardon this e-mail from out of the blue. It's just to let you know that your webpage entitled Lord Fear's Christmas Carol is a googlewhack!! It's becoming a bit of a worldwide phenomenon to type in two random words into the internet search engine google and try to get only one hit out of 3 billion sites all over the planet. I typed in PSYCHOPATHICALLY REFLECTIVELY and the one result google gave me was to your page. I registered it and it's now on http://www.googlewhack.com. It's a bit silly, but really addictive. Just thought I'd let you know you're a googlewhack!! One out of 3 billion!

Kind regards

Chris"

So there you have it. He's talking about that fanfic I posted at Christmas of course... but I was wondering, has anything this ever happened to any of you?

I loved that thing. It still takes pride of place by my PS2 and N64. I had an emulator for it but it won't work on my new P.C, anyone know one that would work with XP?

I don't know if they were Amiga games or Commodore +4 ones. (Now I wonder since as you can still find and play Spectrum games can you still find and play Commodore +4 and 64 games.)

I think I'll use my Amiga now, actually.

Googlewhacks-latest craze-tamagotchis-failings of today's technology-good ol' days and the Amiga.

That, with a slight detour in Canada, is how to get from a to b.

So, googlewhacks. anyone tempted? I'm not.

Alfred Chicken, Gods, Sensible Golf, Quake, Lemmings, Blobz, Zac McKraken and the Alien Mindbenders, Beneath a steel Sky, Monkey Island, Zool, Titus the Fox, Blues Brothers, Krusty's Fun House, James Pond, Knightmare, Super Stardust, Theme Park, Duke nukem, Nemac IV, Testament, Colonization, Virocop, Xenon, Speedball 2, Wild Cup Soccer, Vital Light, Trolls, Kick Off 2, Gobliiins, PGA Tour Golf, Jimmy White's whirlwind snooker, Shadow of the Beast, Rise of the Robots, International rugby Challenge, Kick Off '96, Last Action hero...

Ok, the last few are terrible. Here are hundreds of more names to see if any bells ring...http://www.angusm.demon.co.uk/AGDB/Alphabetical.html

For others watching at home, see how many you can recognise, then get back to thinking about Knightmare again. (I put this last bit in so we won't go wildly off topic, although this has happened already...)

They were some of the best ones . There are a couple I looked for but couldn't remember what they were called. I remembered who they were made by but just couldn't remember their names. I looked on Ebay for games made by the ones who made the games I'm sort of looking for but the names didn't ring a bell. I did recognise a couple of games but they weren't the ones.

Meanwhile, my Amiga 500+ was, after 12 in-usage years, laughing. So was my 6 1/2 year old Amiga 1200. Which is with me right now at Uni. It plays, amongst other things like Sensible World of Soccer, Knightmare.

I think now that my parents wish they had never gotten rid of the one they had about 20 years ago. Some of the technology/appliances we used to havewere some of the best things. we used to have a fridgefreezer and it lasted about 30-35 years I believe, that trusty old thing. I mean how long would your average fridgefreezer last nowadays? perhaps all of about ten years. We still have an old b&w television, which I think even that's about 30 years old.

I have noticed that one of the most popular Windows other than XP is 98SE, so it proves that most of the older things are better and last longer

My aforementioned tamagotchi that could do 'Firestarter' could also be electrocuted and have its room flooded, only for a pirate ship to sail across with 'Yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me' playing in the background. Best 5 minutes of fun I ever spent with a virtual pet.

Nothing compared to the real thing....

I once saw a TV transmission of Bob Monkhouse speaking at the Oxford University Student Union. (Bob Monkhouse was, as ever, quick-witted and eloquent.) One student asked him a question in which she referred to the 'tagamotchi' craze, and didn't realise her error. I remember how pleased I was so see an Oxford student make the kind of mistake that the average eight-year-old wouldn't have made!

Did you used to play with it as well as feed it? I used to hate it when I knew mine was going to die of old age. So when the batteries died the last time I didn't replace them. Istill have it stored away in a drawer somewhere. I think that they should create a new Tamagotchi, which would be a goblin one. We would have to take care it this goblin, which would be a very good thing for people like Skarkill .

Well, except us obviously on this board. We're just filled with love...

Or mutual friendship, if you found the last statement nauseating.

And my Tamagotchi's batteries ran out. Never to return...although I did once have a computer pet that could dance to The Prodigy's Firestarter. No, really.
