Game On Eileen Part II (or, Hello, Obsidian, how's the wife?)
column    by   Kirk Hiner    Fri Oct 31 12:31:50 EST 2003
Here, I conclude my look at the "one hit wonders" of the Mac gaming industy; developers who brought us one title, then disappeared in a shroud of mystery or—in one particularly sad case—tragedy.

Kevin Murphy: Author, Moviegoer, Robot
column    by   Bill Stiteler    Wed Oct 29 07:22:42 EST 2003
Kevin Murphy is perhaps best known as the voice of Tom Servo, one of the witty puppet robots who ripped apart bad movies on the cult TV show Mystery Science Theatre 3000. But, after ten years of watching the worst films known to man, Murphy, a film school graduate and cinephile, found he had lost his love for movie going. So, he launched on a quest to watch a movie a day—in a theatre or public exhibition—for a year. He chronicled this adventure in his book, A Year At the Movies, a view of the film industry from an audience member's perspective.

Valley of Hope
column    by   John H. Farr    Mon Oct 20 05:30:36 EDT 2003
"On the east side of the summit, I discovered an easy way down, and all at once the focus shifted: at the bottom of this side of the hill was apparently where old refrigerators went to die! What's more, I'd barely started down when I encountered an old car battery. This was almost as mysterious as the conch shell, because batteries are heavy. I could only imagine some sort of backwoods contest with local yahoos seeing who could gun their ATVs up the slope to dump their trash the highest. Odd, that, but it never really broke the spell."

Where The Bears Are
column    by   John H. Farr    Mon Oct 13 04:18:26 EDT 2003
"The third part is a little more subtle. In the course of putting that scheme together, I came across what now occurs to me is actually Microsoft poop. I wanted to learn more about a writing contest sponsored by the English Department at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale and surfed my way to their Web site. But where was the info? Apparently fearing theft of their submission guidelines, they wanted me to send an SASE to get them. I couldn't even complain, dammit! Believe it or not, it also turns out that the SIU English Department isn't accepting any emails these days because of 'problems with viruses.'"

Game On Eileen (or, Mac Gaming One Hit Wonders)
column    by   Kirk Hiner    Wed Oct 8 08:07:21 EDT 2003
Quickly, what do these names have in common: Dexy's Midnight Runners, Peter Schilling, Cajun Games and Altor Systems? They were all "one hit wonders." There are plenty of shows covering such bands in the pop music industry, so I felt it was time we recognize some of the best "one hit wonders" of Macintosh gaming.

Money for Nothin', Chicks for Free (Part II)
column    by   John H. Farr    Mon Oct 6 02:45:08 EDT 2003
"Yes, this is too a computer column. For one thing, while I was on the air, I mentioned Applelinks and what I do all day (besides worry). And when I got home, I checked my email. Not only was there a lovely greeting from a faraway self-described pasta queen, but fan mail from Utah: famous Internet columnist Beth Lock and the Lake District godfather had just heard me on the radio! In fact, the lady was so impressed, she offered to pay $20 for an audio CD of stories I haven't even burned yet. Women are always right, you know, because God loves them more, so I am told. That being the case, I'd better hustle. "
