Wire Hang Redux

I made a new game! It’s a from-scratch remake of an original Java game, Wire Hang, by Masaki Kobayashi (D2AC) who went on to become part of the Gran Turismo team.

I had a pretty underpowered laptop at the time, and writing my own version of the game was the only way I was able to play it comfortably.

My version of the game, Wire Hang Redux—made with Kobayshi-san’s blessing—went onto to receive over one million downloads from early download sites like Tucows, Version Tracker, Download.com, Mac Update, Home of the Underdogs, Game Hippo, Hyper Jeff, Windows Forest (Japan), and even a little website called Apple.com—back when it had a download section! It was featured in computer magazines all around the world.
