If it was written in PHP, I wouldn't doubt it. I had a Perl site killed because a trojan leveraged the unfettered access Perl scripts had navigating within a server. What was the vector? Badly written PHP on another hosted site didn't data check their forms. The admin squarely blamed the Perl script, even going so far as to say it was the Perl sites that were the vectors. This was even after I pointed out the specific vulnerability with PHP that caused the problem in the first place. :censored: moron.

I very much liked MAWS and considered it a near invaluable tool. Oh well....

Hey, Saint, how about hosting a new version of MAWS here? I'm a stickler for secure code.

Not trying to rub it in, just trying to spread the joy. I don't know, maybe I might be coming off as a little ---uvula----ish lately...

You always hear how games are best played on their original platforms, I think Gorf is the epitome of that statement. Robot ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- talking, upper and lower lit graphics, inner side and backdrop art, a changing off screen rank display incorporated in the bezel, and a lit flight stick that indicates the next round is ready to be fired. The Gorf experience can never be properly emulated.

I absolutely agree on this. I can remember playing this when it was NEW at the rollerskating rink. It was fantastic...

Man, I actually really liked Gorf as a kid, and I don't even remember all that stuff....   Damn I'm old, the memory is failing....

I think the three games I enjoyed playing the most in the arcades were probably Gorf, Mappy and Rygar....  If I had room for dedicated cabs those are probably the first I'd go for, and maybe a Tempest and/or Asteroids Deluxe to have some vector representation...    ;D
