Hey Growtopians! Hang in there. To those asking for Ham and I to return and help fix the recent server issues: three years have passed since we sold it, it isn't our game or code anymore. If we bust in now we'd break it worse than that time we once made bedrock breakable by all

LGR resurrects ancient hardware to play Legend Of the Red Dragon! Released the first version in 1989 so I reckon we've hit the thirty year anniversary. <weakly blows party horn> weird not seeing LORD in its classic green, but I can appreciate that amber glow
Fresh LGR episode! This is the DEC VT320 terminal from 1987, in all its glowing amber monochrome glory. This series of terminals was a favorite of libraries for years for their online computer card catalog systems. Now I mostly play door games on it, ha.
