Admiral Bulletin & the Internet Elucidation
In a blog dating to 1999, not everything makes it over from one engine to another. Back in 2005, I wrote a four-part piece of literary criticism fiction on the history of the Admiral Bulletin franchise. It’s actually kind of good.
In celebration of resurrecting the Admiral Bulletin storytelling game, I’ve added it back to the WordPress blog with tags and correct dates. You can find the four parts (and notes) here:
- Admiral Bulletin and the Internet Elucidation, Part I: The Origins of the Admiral
- Admiral Bulletin and the Internet Elucidation, Part II: The Golden Age
- Admiral Bulletin and the Internet Elucidation, Part III: Admiral Bulletin and the Daily Strip
- Admiral Bulletin and the Internet Elucidation, Part IV: The Turbulent Years After & Colophon
- Notes on Admiral Bulletin and the Internet Elucidation

Lunar: Silver Star Story
iPhone port of the classic SegaCD RPG. Still a wonderfully fun game.
