Magenta Kong

2008-09-04
by Alex Papadimoulis in Mandatory Fun Day
One of my all-time favorite reader comics was Matt. C's #205432 ("Magenta Kong"). It was one of the many great reader comics on 2.6: A Roadblock. Since then, Matt. C has done the unthinkable: he turned Magenta Kong into an actual Flash-based game. It's built from entirely scratch in ActionScript without a single ROM hack in sight.

Since we're in Classics Week, I wanted to share a couple Series 1 comics that ended up getting cut. They star Zach, the lovable FOSS Fighter that also got the cut. Alt1.22: Some Alone Time

If there's one thing The Internet doesn't have enough of, it's Web Comics. Really, it's almost impossible to find a web-comic these days.
