| Wednesday Jul 7, 1999 | Nifty new games invented by independent small companies and individuals?
Contagious Dreams
is a new on-line game store devoted to just that. And they
playtest and review
the games that they sell. (Sponsored by
Looney Labs,
who have invented a couple of games themselves.)
Contrariwise, if you're looking for nifty old games, check out
Crazy Egor's Game Warehouse,
which stocks all sorts of used, rare, and out-of-print gaming-phernalia.

| For many with an IQ in excess of 105, high school was a four-year ritual of inane lectures,
pointless relationships and bewildering rituals (spirit rally, anyone?). The
Guide to High School Hate
is a hysterical account of the excesses of those hallowed years, told through the sardonic
