And, you know, not trying to be a creeper, but I am hoping for some impressions of your new digs.

I’ll have to go back to this sometime in the near future.

It’d be interesting to see an “Anatomy of a Game” of something that falls into kusoge territory – maybe Super Pitfall or the like (especially when compared to, say, Pitfall II) – to point out how such titles were so much the opposite of smart design as some of the titles you’ve done so far. Then again, I suppose Kid Icarus is sort of serving that purpose…
