Year 2000 or so I stumbled upon a personal user's site on a college domain. I had it bookmarked on my old PC but it didn't make it over to the switch and it's been so long I remember nothing about the site address (which college, etc). He had created an interactive story based around the game "Asteroids". It was basically a dude falling in love with a girl who hates him, and it drives him crazier and crazier. It ends with a monologue about how he is the guy in the spaceship, always fighting an endless stream of asteroids until he dies. The very last page was a flash (or probably java) version of the Asteroids game. I have never been able to find it. I tried my best to recreate it on my personal site (awkwardsaw.com/asteroids) so if you find that, it's not it. His was much simpler and much more moving. I actually got lost in the story of obsession and sat playing asteroids for half an hour feeling I was the guy lost. It was the first and best mixed media presentation I've ever experienced. So if you know anything about this, or know of an archive somewhere, I'd love to see it again.
