finally have some time to work on Atari 2600 Myst again. Maybe I'll make some progress before Mysterium happens

Working on some less iconic (though no less important) areas

This reminds me of something I posted on a previous social media account.

“You’ve Got Mail”: a romantic comedy about a little bookstore being overrun by a huge bookstore/DVD store

“You’ve Got ‘You’ve Got Mail’”: a dark comedy about a huge bookstore/DVD store being overrun by an online mail-order megastore.

“You’ve Got ‘You’ve Got “You’ve Got Mail”’”: a tragedy about an online mail-order megastore being supplanted by streaming services. ← YOU ARE HERE

“No One’s Got ‘You’ve Got Mail’”: a farce about how all movies have become unavailable because companies withhold them for the tax write-offs.

“You’ve Got Mail-full-1080p.mkv”: a documentary about the valuable role that pirates are performing as librarians and archivists.

I'd rather do something and make a mistake than be frightened into doing nothing. That's the problem back home. Folks have been conned into thinking they can't change the world. Have to accept what is. I'll tell you something, my friends, the world is changing every day. The only question is, who's doing it?

Have you played Command Performance? A late 80s mystical RPG in the land of Xa- ok, it's a system manager. No reason for that cover art to go so hard, but no one tell them otherwise.

Game 91: StixWorld (1998), by Greg Alt & Sean Igo.

Disaster struck Susie's notepad so you, a stick figure, have to escape the world she drew to save it from being recycled. Easier said than done because it's been invaded by monsters and tanks that Susie's stupid brother drew.

The world you navigate is free form, not fixed to a 2D grid, with plenty of blind jumps if it weren't for the zoom out option. Very neat.

The controls are a bit stiff but, hey, you're a stick figure.
