Digital, A Love Story | Submitted by costik on Thu, 03/25/2010 - 20:29. |
Digital: A Love Story is an extraordinarily charming game -- a sort of text adventure in which you use your new pre-VGA computer to dial up all sorts of interesting BBSes, just like we did in the Old Days. There, you make virtual friends, uncover a mystery, and have the opportunity to fall in love.
WikipathS, a game from the NYU location of the Global Game Jam, is an interesting attempt to create a game not as an application, but as a mash-up, grabbing data from an online data source -- in this case from Wikipedia. Consequently, it doesn't rely on a conventional programming language, but on AJAX; it requires a Firefox browser and Firefox's Greasemonkey add-on, as well as installing the developer's own Firefox extention.
