Elizabeth and I were laughing the other day about an old text adventure game we used to play on the Apple II called Sherwood Forest.

Well, if you know the type of game I'm talking about and if at some point in your childhood, you thought they were fun, then you will  probably get a kick out of this (warning: a small amount of offensive language ahead). It is obviously dated, since the troop surge and Sons of Iraq developments have brought the president to the point of setting a timetable for withdrawal. All the same, you have to chuckle about the intersection of politics and our early childhood computer experiences. A generation ago, this humor would have been incomprehensible to anyone.

If you want to try your hand at another tongue-in-cheek text adventure, Peasant Quest is strangely addicting.
