I'd like to know why the hell i can never enter that site

 

[Vault Dweller]

You are not cool enough :wink:

I can't believe that it's still up after all of those years. Sweet memories...

I always get Yahoo telling me they're sorry but the site is unavailable.

I see 'Sorry' and 'Yahoo' together and my brain tells me "Typical." and so I assume the worse and go on to something else.

It never works for me. It doesn't even show me that, it just takes aeons to connect to the site and doesn't even reach any page. Though i have no problems downloading the program.

I've gotten fairly bored with other rogue-likes, but Gearhead always keeps my interest. Perhaps its the prospect of rolling up a "J-Pop Idol" character.

I'd actually like Gearheads more if it weren't so Nippocentric.

Actually, it's Hangukocentric. Most of the place names and foreign words are Korean. As for the story of the game, I've always felt that it's archetypically Canadian. I can't really articulate why but that's just the feeling I get when I review my own work.

One more thing. If you're having trouble downloading from the geocities page, you can go directly to the files mirror at gearhead.roguelikedevelopment.org.
