The good old (times) games…

In the old days (1990 and forward) I was a serious gamer and played a great deal of different games. Many games I will forget, but some I would always remember.

Today I accidentally found one of my very old Win 3.1/Win 95 games: Buried in Time, a game with some superbe graphics (as I remember) and a nice story. And a rather big game, tree CD-ROMs.

That brings memories to other games like Phantasmagoria wich filled out 7CDs and The Beast Within. All games I remember to be really good.

This brings me to something else. Where did the point and click games go? Where is the good adventure games like “Monkey Island”, “Days of the Tentacles”. It seems that the only series that had survived is Cyan Myst games. Is it that 3D games has killed these games or they just don’t sell?

I really hope that these kind of game will get revives sooner or later. Bring back point and click games. Thanks!

Birdhouse app for iPhone

Just downloaded Birdhouse for my iPhone. I have long been wondering for what purpose you should need this app. But it’s actually very nice to have the ability to draft your thoughts for later edit.

You just have to remember that Birdhouse is not a fully fledged Twitter client and therefore it’s not possible to view tweets. It is used exclusiv to draft you thoughts before posting to Twitter. So you still need your favorit Twitter client to view tweets.

I feel that you should try Birdhouse if you rally love to use Twitter.

And remember to follow me on Twitter.com/iranch and i will follow you back :-)

Best Twitter app for iPhone?

I have tried a bunch of Twitter apps for the iPhone but here is some of the best. Twitterrific has a very nice graphical interface which my be the reason that it can be a bit confusing to use. But it does have some nice advance features and options.

Birdfeed also have a very nice interface but lacks some of the basic functions of a Twitter app. But I do have the feeling that the developer is looking into this soon.

But I always seems to fall back to Tweetie. It’s just such a nice simple Twitter app with some very nice features. It isn’t that Twitterrific or Birdfeed is bad. But the interface is just so clean and fresh that it makes me Tweet more :-) Birdfeed is a follow up though.

Follow me and Happy twittering
