Molten Core now available for download

You may remember Blizzard's April Fool's joke this year, a trailer promising the release of a console version of the Molten Core. It was a concept that did so well in the polls, we expected to see it turned into some kind of official mini-game.An enterprising fan, however, beat them to the punch. The Molten Core ATARI-style game is now available, as posted in the forums. You can download it from Box.net or from Filefront. Design inspiration is credited to Blizzard, of course, but its graphics, programming, and game play are courtesy of Derek Gallant.
With this morning's server restarts, I took the opportunity to fire up this 1 or 2 player raid instance. And, while it probably won't be peeling me away from the zombie invasion, I didn't stop laughing the entire time. Derek's creation allows you to play each of WoW's staple classes, and everything is, indeed, fairly reminiscent of Molten Core. (If you know what you're looking at.)
Good luck!

Get an emulator if your Mac is PPC-based, this thing takes no horsepower whatsoever; otherwise just boot your Macintel into Windows.

Yeah, that was reeeeally fun, a thousand times better than any Atari game I played back in the day. How was this designer able to make a game better than every Atari game ever made O.o

So, this article was based on my tip, right? >_>
I love how faithful this is, both to the actual MC and Blizzard's April Fool's presentation. :)
