No pictures are available (which is probably just as
well; the Moral Majority or their modern equivalent
would be in an uproar), but the game apparently was a
"compare-the-picture" type -- and the pictures were
apparently rather naughty (I'd hope for a comfortably
lounging woman wearing lingerie but it *is* a bar; it could
be anything from a moderately attractive witch wearing a
Pilgrim costume (carrot nose optional) to a ... well, let's
just leave it to your imaginations out there, shall we?
There's a *lot* of weird stuff on the Web...)
As an actual game, it's not much, presumably; even
Windows might be able to handle displaying two pictures,
maybe with "hot points", and some text stating "click on
the differences" with a little code to count mulligans.
Tcl/Tk would have no difficulty at all. Flash would
probably be even simpler from a user's standpoint (although
"tclets" are fun to play with, but they don't interact
well with other objects -- yet).
But yeah, you're right. We'd all be better off buying
Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate Edition for our PCs
(plus an extra 2-3 GB or so) and then playing Solitaire,
Minesweeper [*], and (Space Cadet) Pinball.
Oh, wait, they're removing Pinball. The fiends! And I
so wanted to play it on Vista.
Oh well. Guess I'll just have to make do with UT2004,
Nexuiz, Doom III, Quake 4, Quake III, many many Flash
8 games, and Adventure. (The last one of course is a
classic, but it's not very graphical.)

Yes, we all are such fools spending money on Linux, aren't we?
Oh, wait, Linux is free.

There's a thought.
[*] maybe it should be called "Mindsweeper". Gotta keep those brains
clean so that they can accept all of Vista's inherent goodness. ;-)
