Well, I finally took this old Penguin Software game out for a spin. I remember having inordinate frustrations with it. You're in this helicopter, and you need to build a bridge on the left screen. Monsters drop from the center screen, and there's a radar dish on the right that prevents you from picking up the bridge pieces. When you get the bridge built, a train comes through and locks a missile in place. You need to work through the building in the center screen to get to the console to launch the missile. Then you get to go out and do it again.

The game frustrated me nearly to tears when the monsters went and actively destroyed my bridge. But I did a lot better with emulation. Yay, me.

On a totally unrelated note, Chien-Ming Wang's ERA.

It's always fun at the start of baseball season to see someone with a staggering ERA like this. It's especially surprising an ERA would be this high this fare in. Of course it will go down. But meantime, it's as good an excuse as any to laugh at the Yankees.
