Great idea for kids but the stories need some work.

    Back in the late 80’s / early 90s (was it!? some time way back then anyways — pre-web, so it could have been 1960 for all I can remember!), Milan Kundera was widely read. He had gained the enviable position of being both critically acclaimed and yet sexy/trendy. Being seen with a copy of The Unbearable Lightness of Being was as likely to get you a date as a good conversation!

    Nowadays, he seems to be judged as old hat and our earlier liking for him seems to be felt an aberration — but, I have to say, for me his brand of existentialism still seems vital and I thought that The Curtain (thanks for the link) was as important as it was hugely entertaining …

    Three cheers for Kundera. Still!

    Happy Friday to you too.
    Mario, this is a game that is hardly anyone has not played in their childhood. Even today its music takes me to my childhood. Your moving Mario looks like 3d, very very nice.
