Prowler Home Page: On a different note, this page layout has become very outdated. I'm thinking of something with a flatter white background, and dark text. May be easier on the eyes. Well, I'll see about that eventually.

      Trading Punches: Although it's a personal project of mine (not really a Prowler Productions game), Trading Punches is an Interactive Fiction game (you might call it a “text adventure”) written in the Hugo authoring system. It ranked 10th out of 36 entries in the 2004 Interactive Fiction Competition (full results can be seen here). In my not-so-humble opinion, it's really underrated, with a great story, vivid and verbose writing, and a really cool setting. Try it out. It's free, and the Hugo interpreter is available for a wide range of platforms (including Linux and Macintosh). You can read more about my IF (Interactive Fiction) projects at the Sidney Merk home page. If the pseuodonym seems a bit weird, try it as an anagram.

      Although I'm unaware of any new reviews based on the updated version (1.8), these are a few of the more favorable reviews for the 1.6 competition version: #1 | #2 | #3 | #4

      StarLock Has Opened: Although the game isn't finished -- and likely won't be -- StarLock is now open for play at starlock.com. You can read more about the game, and about the decision to open it for free play at the StarLock Home Page. Because we are not charging for play (after all, it isn't complete), I can make no guarantees as to how long it will remain online. If it becomes burdened with too many disruptive players, too many problems, too much of a load to be supported by Lunatix Online, it might be removed. For now, enjoy!
