Retro’d (Revamp’d): Linerider Hacked

Jake Bechtold | November 10, 2007

It’s been a while since I’ve done a retro’d. In fact, I’m going to switch it up a bit. Retro’d is now going to feature links that I posted some time back that still work.

For this first revamped edition, I’m going to mention Linerider Hacked, which was originally posted on November 4th, 2006. Here’s what I said last time:

The basic concept is to draw one or more lines with the mouse on which a small character with a sled can ride. The game includes a physics simulation, which means the track must be sufficiently smooth to prevent the character from falling off the sled. The author has said that he prefers the description ‘toy’ to ‘game’ as there is no goal to accomplish.

In spite of its simplicity, many complicated tracks have been created, which include loops and other stunts. Some tracks are even set to music and include hand-drawn scenery such as mountain slopes and trees. Tracks are typically shared by uploading a video to web sites, such as YouTube or Google

Thanks to my efforts, we got the site blocked at school. Despite, this site is still live and well, and is still the best way to put off that Trig assignment. I played a little bit this week, and I can tell I’m still a little rusty; we see if can get back into it. Enjoy, and have a great weekend!

iHome H5 Review
One of my favorite accessories I received was the iHome H5, “The home system for your iPod” (As pictured above). I eyed this product at Sam’s Club shortly after buying my iPod in November. In my opinion, it is the best speaker solution for your iPod…
