A Case of the Crabs in today's NY Times.

[friarphil]

A Case of the Crabs is featured in todays New York Times! Here is a quick excerpt:

Amateur developers try and fill the void with their own creations. Many are clever but primitive, but there are notable exceptions, like one from Pinhead Games, A Case of the Crabs, in which a detective, Nick Bounty, investigates counterfeit seafood. The game is notable for its amusing dialogue and comedy-noir black-and-white graphics, and while some of the puzzles are not as logical as they might be, the same can be said of Syberia II, which you cannot play free online.

Wow. Congratulations! :) Assuming you made the game, of course.

One of the most interesting of the puzzle-adventure games is Amanita Design's Samarost...

8 days early. Anyone have any idea what he's talking about?

Kudos to everyone at Pinhead! Definitely a fun little game, and worthy of the attention. :)

http://nlp.fi.muni.cz/~xsvobod4/amanita/samorost/intro.htmlSamorost is an old joke around here, Mark. It seems that once a month or so, someone wanders in raving about this cool new game they've discovered. In joking recognition of this, we have set aside the 18th of each month as Samorost Day.

But thanks for the reminder that the old link was dead and it has a new URL. ;)

Ooops! Ive been picking up on the tail end of that inside joke for a while now, but I guess never really caught on.

Boy, do I feel virgin!

[BacardiJim]

You should feel virgins every chance you get. God knows when you'll find another one. :devil:

I got arrested the last time i tried to do that! :P

[Fairygdmther]

Well you can feel all the virgins you can find, but Samarost is a dead link these days - aaalllll gone! :sad:

FGM

[BacardiJim]

Ummm.... scroll up, FGM. It isn't dead; it moved. :D

[Tanukitsune]

I loved your game, but I must confess I took me some time to get the gag that gave the name to the game.... :rolleyes:
I didn't know crabs was also a "crotch" parasite, ok?

[AFGNCAAP]

Cool (The game and the fact it gained recognition). Congratulations. :)

[Krazy]

Congradulations that game was pretty sweet. :)

I actually made a joke about that in the AGU news post (http://www.adventuregamers.com/underground/newsitem.php?id=516) regarding the game's release ;)
