When I used to play MotherLoad, the world was still a bright place, full of possibility. I was on track to finish from a prestigious high school, accepted into a prestigious university, and obviously going to end up pretty comfortable in life. Little did I know, that within me I had the seeds of mental illness growing. Perhaps, one of the signs, if I only knew to pay attention to it, was how "addicting" games were to me. I think the world back then just thought a lot less about those things, if you could still manage to be outwardly successful. No one worried about what it meant that some kids finding a vibrant, "safer" environment in video games, than in the real world. Ahhhh, MotherLoad.

  Sometimes I upvote things purely for their literary quality. I have no knowledge of "Motherload," nor any interest in modern games. But those few lines about your (your character's ?) interaction with it, makes me want to know how this story unfolds.

Motherload? That game was terrific. You can still play it, though you do need Flash. https://www.miniclip.com/games/motherload/en/ https://www.miniclip.com/games/motherload/en/

I loved that game. I wrote a copy of it for desktop in c++ at the end of high school: https://github.com/Sytten/MineDeeper https://github.com/Sytten/MineDeeper Please don't judge my code quality I was 16 at the time :)

  I love this about HN. People showcasing their little OS projects. One can learn so much.

XGen Studios the studio behind MotherLoad actually released a remaster of the game a couple of years ago http://www.xgenstudios.com/super-motherload/ http://www.xgenstudios.com/super-motherload/
