Poor Clyde. At one time he exterminated all the unfriendly repulsive earth ridden slime in the 1990 Thalamus game Creatures on the C64, Amiga and Atari ST, but now look at him. He's missing his feet, his eyes are starting to go brown with age and he's looking the worse for wear. No wonder, he's almost 20 years old. For years he sat on top of my monitor. His feet stuck to the beige surface, but alas they were amputated when I moved out and between this and that he never got them back.
If you've never played Creatures, then find a C64 emulator (Vice is a good one), and look for the game. It's easy to find as it sold bucket loads when originally released. The Roland Brothers did a great job of coding this masterpiece. Here's the original Zzap! 64 review of the game. Brings back plenty of fond memories!
All this leads me to today's post. I cleaned up my office with the help of my wife. I can see the floor now. There are no magazines lying around. Adam had great fun messing with some of my lens covers and bits and pieces while we cleaned. To my surprise I found the Autofocus On/Off switch from my Sigma 10-20 lens. There it is! I had no idea it was in my office. I was convinced I had lost it while out walking! Also pictured is the cover of the Canon 50mm f1.8 lens I used to take this shot.
In the background is this month's issue of Retro Gamer. There's a special on Zelda, a game I've never played except for 5 minutes on Starlight Princess on the Wii. Apparently the series is quite famous and well liked.
