SPAG Magazine

Remember text adventures? Companies like Infocom produced tons of them, including such titles as Zork, Enchanter, and Deadline, in the 70's and 80's. SPAG (Society for the Promotion of Adventure Games) is an online magazine dedicated to the lost art of text adventuring. The magazine reviews old games as well as new games (yes, a small but talented group of folks out there are still making text adventures) and covers the annual Interactive Fiction - which is a fancy name for text adventures - competition. If the phrase "there's nothing but dust there" resonates somewhere deep in your soul, you'll enjoy this site!

Harvey Comics

Remember Harvey Comics? Sure you do! They brought us such childhood icons as Richie Rich, Casper the Friendly Ghost, Spooky, Wendy the Good Witch, and everybody's favorite little devil, Hot Stuff. The website, which is very Flash Macromedia intensive, features in-depth bios on all of the major (and some of the minor) characters, Flash Web games, and has sections for the comic books, TV shows, and movies, as well as the requisite online store. The Flash animation is incredible - if at times slow-loading - and really adds to the look and feel of the site, which manages to maintain the overall flavor of the comics and cartoons. If you have a soft spot for Casper, Richie Rich, and all his friends, this site is really "Hot Stuff."
