About the Story

If you keep it on your computer for three thousand years, you'll be rewarded by a message saying, "Welcome to Alpha Centauri. Now go home."

NOTE: This joke is based on a reference to the book "Only You Can Save Mankind" by Terry Pratchett. My only complaint is that the countdown timer assumes there are 61 seconds per minute, 61 minutes per hour, 25 hours per day, and 366 days per year.

-- Mark Musante

Gag game, pretty much summed up by the title. Subtitled "An Interactive Waste of Time."

Best IF Titles by Fredrik
No doubt you have played some great games with great titles, or been disappointed to find games with great titles that did not hold up to expectations. What are the best titles of IF? They can be funny, elegant, evocative, or whatever...

Neil Armstrong Commemorative Space Poll by Joey Jones
I'm hankering to play a good space-themed game. That is to say, a game not necessarily set in space, but a game that is in some way about space or our relation to space. Any takers?
