Mistodon: trotting an old joke around the track once again, in last month's new books-themed MIST0426 artpack collection Cthulu made a batch file DOSbox adaptation of George Nachman's #RichardCory Interactive Adventure from 1998, a joke about #EdwinArlingtonRobinson's 1897 poem from over a hundred years earlier. This is its splash screen, with its weird Braille-like low-#ASCIIart logo to accommodate the dictates of the MS-DOS command line. You can play it (trigger warning, literally) via https://16colo.rs/pack/mist0426/CT-RC.BAT or see the original at https://www.llamas.org/corey.html
