I happened upon a game called "DripGame", in which a little
drip tries to rust a pipe system, and have had a lot of fun playing it.
But, the copy I downloaded came with no documentation or anything:
nothing except the executable. So, if anyone knows, I'd like to know
whether this is shareware or PD, and if shareware how much money
would the author like and what is his/her address.

Also, about 1/2 a year ago, I bought a game called "The Hound of Shadow"
[Electronic Arts] on nothing more than the topic, which is H.P. Lovecraft's
Cthulhu Mythos. It is a buggy <the copy protection occasionally doesn't
accept the right numbers from the manual, and you are usually asked after
'sections' of the game are completed, forcing you to reboot and start over>
badly written <the parser is horrible, and the plot is so @$#!*? linear
it practically goes on without you> piece of crap, but since I've bought
it, I'd appreciate the help of anyone else who has bought it in completing
it. For all others, don't bother, unless it's very cheap and/or you
are such a rabid HPL fan you just HAVE to have it.
