One more diversion from work

Tuesday, October 10th, 2006

In honor of my friend Peridyd’s latest post on getting into Legend of the Green Dragon, I have taken it upon myself to install my own copy of LOTGD on this server. It’s always been on the list of things to do, fortunately Peridyd just provided me with the excuse I needed.

Back before the internet was the internet a lot of geeks, including myself, would spend hours dialed(yes through a modem, a 14.4kbps modem actually) into text based bulletin board systems. On these BBSes there would be a few games that were very popular, one of the most popular games was The Legend of the Red Dragon or LORD. To sum it all up Legend of the Green Dragon is actually based off of Legend of the Red Dragon, unfortunately the original author & copyright owner has not converted this game to the web or released the copyrighted source code. Thankfully smarter and more creative people than me went to the trouble of recreating the game for all of us to enjoy when we are bored.

So without further ado I present Paleck’s LOTGD
