Yeah, I'm feeling my age. I remember Legend of the Red Dragon, one of the first BBS DOORS that let me fight a slew of silly bad guys and monsters, feed a bard, and flirt with the wonderful Grizzelda.
And then it was available online as Legend of the Green Dragon. And I lost a few total hours playing it between calls.
Now? Now there's
Improbable Island. Which is a cute little webapp that took the code (available online for free) and just went buggy with it.
Catgirls.
Chainsaw-chucks.
Mad Scientists.
Mutants.
Zombies.
Co-Op and Competitive Play.
And for those of you who want to see an example of play

"O HAI!"
You spin around, towards the voice. A walrus stands before you, holding a bucket.

It smacks wetly against your head.
