SECOND HAND COMPUTER IS OUT!

SHC is a sort of vibes-based programmable #FantasyComputer designed to mimic my own experiences getting a second-hand computer too crappy to run graphical games.

Inside Second Hand Computer you will find a pile of random text games I've made, from the very simple (Hangman and 2048) to the gimicky (Wargames) to larger original projects such as Swords of Freeport and BOOTLEG.

You can even code your own games for it in Lua.

² Not yet clear what will replace this but Double Capitalism appears to be the leading candidate

When someone asks "can I spoil it for you?" my new reply is always going to be "Go for it. I ain't spending any time on it because in the meantime, every three months, a person is torn to pieces by a crocodile in North Queensland."
