Oh wow, that takes me back. That and RPG World, by lil’ baby Ian Jones-Quartey.

Sigh. Times are tough.

But the music! And the Darth Maul fight!

Always upvote a hoovaloo reference!

1, 5, 4.

I like Nordic Crosses, and the star’s a good color in a good placement. If you want an snowflake star, 4 is the best version.

But 1 emphasizes the rivers!

The version update talks about cloud saves. Can you sync between iPad and iPhone?

OUTSIDE CASKS!

I would like 8 better if the yellow were either absent or stronger (as in Tanzania) As it is, it’s too narrow.

Also, maybe they decided against it because Tanzania’s flag was decided ten years earlier.

All of these are absolute fire. The vote must have been wild.

For me, what they chose is great. 1 and 4 are also fantastic, but for even greater distinctiveness and panache, I wish they’d picked 6!

Does the switch between side-scrolling run-and-jump platformer and side-scrolling shmup shooter in Super Mario Land for the Game Boy?

Most unbelievable part: Texas has a US flag but no Texas flag.

In the rural southeast, those are more like 300,000

The problem is that the game is so open to different paths. Here’s a basic basic basic basic list:

• Talk to everyone all the time; give people gifts (random fruit is fine mostly) twice a week
• Buy seeds and plant them. Harvest and buy better seeds. Make sure to water them!
• Be on the lookout for forage-able fruits and flowers. Chop down trees so you have wood to build. Learn where stuff is and where gates to future progress are. Mostly they’ll tell you what you need to proceed.
• On rainy days when you don’t have to water, fight monsters in the mine.
• Talking to folks gives you quests. Following the quests gives you stuff and teaches you the game.
• Exploring the world and checking the achievement list teaches you, too.
• The wiki is fantastic, but so are the game interface and menus.
