So booyah! 😁

Great job, Colin. "Ogons" reminds me of "Vogons", the bad guys in the Douglas Adams' HGTTG "trilogy".

Very Old Games On New Systems? :p

Definetly need to save this thread.

Was clicking around today and found this thread. Man, I've been looking for this for ages. The beginning of VOGONS. (Previously it was OGONS. Yeah, OGONS! YUK!).

You should have found it the way I did: viewtopic.php?t=1, 2, 3... 10.
somehow 8, 13 and 17 don't exist

I think he really hit on something profound with the whole "we have the answer, now we just need to know what the question is" thing. It also reminds me of school: restate the question in your answer and show your work.
It seems to me that that's basically what he's saying: even the answer to everything is meaningless without the explanation behind the answer.

oh, and ogons doesn't work, BTW
