today's dose of software history: Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego? by Brøderbund
i wonder how many kids never got to see the physical box contents, because they played it in a school classroom, or borrowed the disks from a friend.
this is one of those games where having the physical box contents was imperative, because you couldn't play the game without them. the game came with a *thick* paperback copy of New American Desk Encyclopedia, printed specifically for the game.
in order to progress through each investigation (and track down the thief), you have to hunt for clues by looking up objects, places, and eras in the encyclopedia.
the best part of the game is that learning about other people and places around the world is incidental to the act of playing the game. you're never grilled for memorized facts, and your ability to progress is limited only by logical deduction and encyclopedia entry lookups.
the rear box cover art is a masterwork of false tableaux design - they even spent the time to build a fake chronoskimmer to complete the effect.

i’m not sure what i expected when i received a copy of @aaronareed’s 50 Years of Text Games. i was mostly afraid that it would be an encyclopedic mishmash of wikipedia facts on IF.
to my complete surprise it is extremely well-written, has original interviews with developers, and a demonstrates a strong understanding of textual game engines and scripting languages.
the fact that Aaron took the time to write entire chapters for Tradewars and LambdaMOO blows me away - I did not expect MUDs and BBS games to earn their way into IF history. hell, there’s even a chapter on Achaea!
if you’re into IF, game history, or how the sausage is made with game development, this book is an exceptional read.

Does anyone else remember Tux Racer, the old #Linux racing game from way back? Does anyone else also remember tuxracer.fubaby.com, where people would share their courses? Any way to download all the courses again? Sorry, but I want to upload all of them on the Internet Archive. I could only retrieve some of them from the Wayback Machine.

Guys, get out your Internet Archive accounts. A video game repository called Myrient is closing down tomorrow, and a staggering 390+ terabytes of data will disappear with it. I am currently saving webpages at /Eggman's Arcade Repository/!EXTRAS/. Unfortunately, nearly all the saves are 404 errors, even though the files can still be downloaded directly from the site, so we may need to upload them.
