The triangle game – Windows

I also found this game that I never got around to finishing. There are several bugs that I know of and the speed is pretty unpredictable at the very best. All the in-game graphics are pretty bad to be honest, especially the menu.

The premise is simple. Connect 4 + Tetris + triangles…

Line up 3 triangles of same color, horizontally and they will disappear. Line up 5 of them and the whole row will disappear.

As you get higher in levels more colors and introduced and the drop speed increases.

You also have the option of “littering the playfield” before you start. This earns you extra points and adds difficulty.

I should probably mention that you start the game by clicking on one of the levels, on the multicolor pyramid on the top right.

Cable chaos

I found these while poking around my hard drives today.

This is what happens after a year or two, with 3-4 machines under the desk, in constant state of “re-configuration”.

Before & After

Pretty amazing what a cable raceway, a couple of big power strips and a load of zip ties can do.
