Any other acro addicts out there? When flipside bought it, they claimed that the game would be down “temporarily”. That was in May. Any hope? I still miss it… ---

I used to love that game! I played it on IRC years ago and then for a bit on Bezerk. Fun stuff. ---

I liked it too. First time I played, someone made a Kirk-Spock gay sex acro that literally made tears stream down my face it was so funny. I’ve already lost hope that it will ever come back. Hope I’m wrong. ---

Man, I miss that game too! Usually hung out on the Couch (Mr. Pol & I played as Spooner) - the chat was almost as fun as the game… kinda reminds me of this place… ---

Many a night I hung out on the Couch and Acro’d away. I got pretty good in my day. Then Berzerk got bought out and the new software they required wouldln’t work on my PC. Ah the memories. ---

Ah… how I miss the Acrobot. One of my first loves on the net way back when I first got online. At times I would actually hurry home from work and log on just to get a few rounds of Acrophobia in. Haven’t played for a while, though. So it’s no longer around? ---

Nope. Flipside bought Berzerk this May, and their website has not changed since they posted the notice that Acrophobia and You Dont Know Jack would be down TEMPORARILY. It’s now November. ☹
