Reinventing ourselves more than Madonna

Hello and welcome to the grand re-opening of Space Potato! As many of you already know, the focus of the site has once again shifted to the world of independent video games. Though I will also be blogging about general pop culture and possible (dun dun dun) politics, I hope that Space Potato can be a place where you can come every few days to find a new fun or interesting game to play.

I'm also looking into restarting the Space Potato BBS! For those not in the know, a few years ago I ran a very successful old school telnet BBS with games such as Legend of the Red Dragon, Barron Realms Elite, and Usurper. I'm going to begin raising money for a new server computer very soon. The nature of these games means the computer does not have to be very good, so if anybody has an old Windows PC that's gathering dust, contact me on the forums. If I don't get a response in the next month or so, I'll start up a donation pool. I should be able to find something that will work for us for under $200.

I'm always on the lookout for new games to feature on the site. If you are a game designer and would like me to host a home site for your game contact me, once again, on the forums. Playing any interesting games? Send the link to me either on the forum or on PMOG. If it's the latter I'll make sure it's worth your while with some in game currency.

We're also playing our own game on the forums. The first game, of my creation, is called 6 Rooms. It borrows heavily from a lot of other flash based "get out of the room" games on the Internet, with some fun Space Potato twists. 6 Rooms has been a successful test run of a concept that I've been thinking about for months. It's also not too late to play! Based on the excitement and interest that it has generated I foresee more of this type of game in the future not only from me, but other users as well.
