PRINCE POPPYCOCK

The graphics are a significant upgrade from the Prince of Persia that was on the Apple computer, but they are not amazing. Players will experience the game on a two dimensional environment (ala Castlevania). You will encounter a myriad of trapped doors, hazardous spikes, and deadly blades. Jumping from platform to platform makes up a great deal of the gameplay (too much for my taste)

Showing the Love, Just a Wee Bit Late

"It's the new Margo. But she's just as late as the old one."




If it's good enough for Margo Channing, it's fine for the blogathon, too. As I was informed by my For the Love of Film comrade Marilyn Ferdinand, late donations continued to flow this week. And as of today, the new total is (drum roll, please)

$12,135




This will be enough money, according to our pals at the National Film Preservation Foundation, to restore a feature comedy AND a cartoon.



Do we of Greater Blogistan rock, or what?
