So How Many of You Remember L.O.R.D.?

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 The Jungle
"O HAI!"

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

"No," you whisper. "You're not real. You're from the Internet."

"CAN HAS BUKKIT?" roars the Lolrus, before reaching into his bucket and throwing a fish at you.

It smacks wetly against your head.
