Terraria

I've actually not played this game but from what I seen it looks wicked fun. It's an indie game with old school graphics and its available on steam for $10.

Lovely Day

We've had a bit of a drought but today it rained so today's a lovely day. Oh it was also a good 10F-15F cooler than normal which was great.
I have a post saved up for tomorrow as well.
Hope you enjoy the song it is a pretty good one.

Song is Lovely Day by Bill Withers originally released in 1977 as a single and on the album Menagerie.

Movie Monday: Labyrinth

A wonderful and slightly twisted movie from Jim Henson released in 1986 starring Jim Bowie, Jennifer Connelly and of course lots of muppets. Sorry I was absent yesterday got busy and lazy.
Anyway it's a really weird movie and certainly not for everyone but I enjoyed it.

UFO2 Extraterrestrials

A preview on another X-Com style game coming from an indie developer. This is a second release and it should be noted the first game was not all that spectacular but I am sure they will improve on this release.

SimAnt

Really great game that I have plugged countless hours in. Designed by Will Wright, published by Maxis and released in 1991 for PC/mac 1992 for Amiga and 1993 for SNES.

Populous

Another amazing game from Bullfrog, released in 1989 for a multitude of systems including the PC and SNES.

Master of Orion 2

This great game was released for the PC back in 1996. In it you select one of several pre-made races or create your own with various bonuses and weaknesses. But before that you select custom aspects of the galaxy.

Defense Grid: The Awakening

This is a tower building game for the PC and XBLA. You build a few starting towers and as you kill aliens you get credits to build and upgrade more towers. Your job is to keep the aliens from making off with all of your energy cores which is quite easy, it is much harder however to keep them from taking any at all.

Dune for Sega Genesis

This game was released in 1993 and by the same people who brought us Command & Conquer 2 years later.
