Return of the Wumpus Huntress

The hunt continues into the 21st century...
The hunt continues...

Wow. Someone out there loved Hunt the Wumpus so much that they recreated it in Java. I’ve played it a couple of times so far, and it’s pretty spot-on to the original game play, but with much better graphics. Very nice!

There’s something so comforting about seeing a remake that actually does the original justice. Perhaps Hollywood could take a page from Dreamcodex’s game book and stop with the craptastic remakes! Yeah, that’ll happen.

Looks like they also did a remake of Munchman, but I haven’t checked this one out yet. Apparently, you have to download something and install it. I push the boundaries quite a bit at work, but I think I’ll sidestep this one 😉

I think I might also start talking about video games a bit more often here. I used to be quite the gamer. I’m still playing, thanks to a more than generous gift of an Xbox 360 for my last birthday. I’m nowhere near the obsessed game play levels that I used to be at, but I’m still in the game, haha.

Perhaps my next gaming entry will be all about finally playing my very first game from a long-standing franchise. Hmm, whatever could that be?
