Ron Gilbert's newest game, "Thimbleweed Park", has been out for a few months now but the latest patch is pretty neat.

The most interesting parts are allowing the playable characters to talk to each other and recognition of each other when they walk past.

In a sign of the changing nature of gamers the game now includes a phone helpline but the helpline is called from phones within the game itself and it has an awareness of your progress so can give more tailored hints.

It is discussed in more detail here

    The epitome of irony is an asshat luser named after an obsolete protocol used for booting obsolete headless terminals who insists that a game doesn't look modern.

    There ain't no graphics in TFTP. No graphics!

    GAMING!!!! IS!!!!! ABOUT!!!!!! GRAPHICS!!!!!!!!!!!

    Asshats like tftp the asshat are why I gave up video gaming. I'm a cup-and-ball player now. Because FUCK YOU that's why.
