I think it sounds pretty cool. But really, didn't I buy Defcon because it was cheap and simple? Something I can do when I'm bored? Yes. Would amBX fit that description? Nope.
Years ago, at least four or five, there was a device that would give off a scent and another that would put flavoring on a wafer for the user to taste. The makers of the scent one apparently intended on involving games and even the web. Unfortunately, neither caught on. Hmm... Wonder why? How would you like to pull up some random site and get heavy waft of...something gross.

Introversion announces amBX version of DEFCON

Think of it as being the difference between having a really nice chess set, and a not so nice one. Chess is a cheap, simple game. I have played it on sheets of lined paper with bottle caps. However, I have a rather nice chess set at home, which is much more comfortable to play with. I think this is the same kind of thing -- you don't need it, most people won't have it, but if you do have it, you can use it to enhance the Defcon experience. It is not like anyone is asking you to buy all of this hardware to play Defcon. Rather, the hardware exists, and can be used to enhance Defcon.

Once upon a time, there was a man. He was a very boring man. I mean really, really boring. Every morning, he woke up, and ate breakfast, then went to work at a factory, manufacturing boards. One day, he was infected with a virus, and gave his credit card number to a little green man. The little green man bougt a new car, then fly home to Mars. The man became bankrupt, and died a very sad, lonely death. The End.

Once upon a time there was a hero. Armed with a foil and hidden in the depths of his lair next to the playground, our hero, the computer lab manager who majored in anthropology, waged a nuclear war from his laptop. His drive came from no hope of glory nor recognition, only to protect his dear Wendryn and his microwaveless home in Sparks, Nevada. Unfortunately, a stray missile blew him up. Big time.

STALKER ALERT!
Been busy, uh, collating data there, wwarnick?
Incidentally, there's a severe lack of Apples in that story.

No, not apples. That I know of. But Apples, yes. Particularly a certain type.
And I don't find it scary... but xander should. We know all about you, Mr. A. M. Henderson. And Ms ex-Barnhart, as well.
