Ah, how I miss the good old days. Good times they were indeed; the days of naivete and endless hope for greatness, I suppose that’s why they say nostalgia is bittersweet.

Listed here are the badges I’ve received for spending hours and hours on this site, discovering new games, falling in love with new series’s and awaiting a new chapter every few months.
But, alas, all good things must come to an end, many developers have vanished, some dead, some decaying in mind and/or body.
Yet, there are those who have moved onto other places where they can actually earn money for their art, however small or big.
And there are those who have simply moved on from this chapter in their lives, started a family, or pursued other endeavours totally the polar opposite of the gaming industry (not surprising, given how it’s fallen into a pit of greed and lifelessness), leaving this quirky part of their existence behind.
I wish them all happiness wherever they are. <3

It’s a pity this place will soon fall, what with the ever dwindling support for flash.
Good on the Kong people to invest in other ventures though, guess that means something of this will survive somewhere.

Perhaps the games on here will become abandonware? Are they already? Perhaps a better term would be abandoned freeware. I don’t really know, I just hope I’ll get the chance to come across them years in the future, and feel this bittersweet nostalgia again.

Edit on 22/07/2020 at roughly 02:36AM: Welp, seems they fired all the Kong people, and the forums will be shut down in a matter of hours, along with other things that already have been halted or removed, so who knows how much longer this site will be up now?

Though, ultimately, ultimately… this was a long time coming, the young generation of today don’t give a crap about this kind of site, they’re far too invested in vapid nonsense that’s fast paced and always new and exciting. And there aren’t enough 20 to 40 somethings around that grew/grew up with these kinds of sites to warrant keeping the sites going in that kind of niche way.

I dunno really, the whole of this gaming thing is a shallow husk of what it once was, it’s all about money now, and engagement, and keeping people hooked for years and years and years… Not that it wasn’t about money before, but I guess back in the day it was harder to create games whose sole purpose was to bring in that cold hard cash. And they relied on word of mouth, rather than being a AAA company with tonnes of money for advertising and the such.

Perhaps the old game industry crash of 1983 will be happening again soon? We need a good factory reset.

I dunno why I’m so bitter about all this, guess cos all this gaming lark was a big part of my childhood, and now I’m older I see the man behind the curtain, and have seen it evolve into this grotesque glutton of an industry.

Aw well, it will be what it is, all you can do is hang around and see what happens.

Dale: “Even if he found that roach, how could he find us?”
Saul: “Um… heat-seeking missiles… bloodhounds… and foxes… barracudas…”
Dale: “I’m just – I’m kind of flabbergasted when you say things like that. It’s weird.”
Saul: “Thank you.”
Dale: “Not a compliment.”

Dale: “He fucking killed him!”
Saul: “Who killed who?”
Dale: “A cop, a lady, and a guy!”
Saul: “A cop, a lady, and a guy, man? That’s like a massacre. You saw it?”
Dale: “No, it was just a guy!”
Saul: “What happened to the lady?”

[Saul throws his cell phone into the woods after suggesting that they can be traced]
Dale: “Whoa! What the fuck was that?”
Saul: “I was trying to hit that tree. I missed.”
Dale: “What tree?”
Saul: “That one.”
Dale: “Why didn’t you smash it on a rock like a normal person like I did?”
Saul: “I don’t know! How often does somebody smash things? I’m rusty, fuck.”
Dale: “Oh, man, did you at least see where it landed?”
Saul: “I don’t know. Just call it.”
Dale: “Call it? With what? My phone has been smashed!”
Saul: [pauses] “Y’know, I bet they can’t even triangulate those things.”
Dale: “Well, you shouldn’t have said anything, because now you convinced me they can! You were very convincing back there!”
Saul: “Okay, okay. Fine, I’ll go find it. Fuck.”
Dale: “Do you see it?”
Saul: “See what?”
Dale: "The phone, you idiot! "

Hacker: “Don’t tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers: The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country; The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country; The Times is read by the people who actually do run the country; The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country; The Financial Times is read by people who own the country; The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country; And The Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is.”

Sir Humphrey: “Oh and Prime Minister, what about the people who read The Sun?”

Bernard: “Sun readers don’t care who runs the country, as long as she’s got big tits.”

Jim Hacker: “Humphrey, do you think it is a good idea to issue a statement?”

Sir Humphrey: “Well, Minister, in practical terms we have the usual six options: One: do nothing. Two: issue a statement deploring the speech. Three: lodge an official protest. Four: cut off aid. Five: break off diplomatic relations. And six: declare war.”

Hacker: “Which should be it?”

Sir Humphrey: "Well: If we do nothing, that means we implicitly agree with the speech. If we issue a statement, we’ll just look foolish. If we lodge a protest, it’ll be ignored. We can’t cut off aid, because we don’t give them any. If we break off diplomatic relations, then we can’t negotiate the oil rig contracts. And if we declare war, it might just look as though we were over-reacting!

“I have of late, but wherefore I know not, lost all my mirth. And indeed it goes so heavily with my disposition that this goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory. This most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o’erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire, why, it appeareth nothing to me but a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours. What a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason! How infinite in faculties! How like an angel in apprehension. How like a god! The beauty of the world! The paragon of animals! And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust? Man delights not me, no, nor woman neither. Nor woman neither.”
