The history and power of silly digital games
nytimes.comLooks like an (unfriendly) fork of https://github.com/erkie/erkie.github.com
they made minor changes, but no attribution to the original author (that i saw)
Maybe they added this after you posted, but under the game it says "Jon Huang/The New York Times, based on the original game by Rootof Creations HB"
I am really intrigued by the little minigame. I read the whole article before playing, but the way it interacts iwth the webpage is amazing!
Okay... the Ads-as-asteroids blaster game on this page is FANTASTIC.
EDIT Okay... it's a DIV blaster or something. either way, love it. Score 2180
Only thing I read was "Press Enter to Continue."
The article is worth a read as well...for a weekend...or a three week vacation...
