Text Adventure Literacy Jam - Create a TEXT ADVENTURE game suitable for children with no prior experience

Something slightly different for today's retro heads up, as we've just been contacted through Twitter, that as from February 25th, there will be the launch of the Text Adventure Literacy Jam; a brand new creation contest to develop an old-school text adventure game that is suitable for Children with no prior experience. A Jam that encourages text adventure authors to write a fun game such that can guide children (age 8+) so they can play unassisted, or that younger children can play with a parent or trusted adult.

Bundle Stars #7: Indie Jam 2

It's another Bundle Star Bundle and we are now at number seven, with Indie Jam 2! Once again Bundle Stars provide us with a great list of games, nine in fact. There are some pretty damn fine titles as per usual with the quality of this company, such as : Shattered Horizon, Nuclear Dawn, Two Worlds II, Two Worlds II Castle Defence, Planets Under Attack, Iron Grip, Holy Avatar, Ion Assault and Xblades. From action to a brilliant indepth RPG, you'll not be bored with this lot. What's more, you can pay what you want, helping either/both the developers and or a charity.
