Every Friday at 1300 hours, Tally-Ho Corner’s cleverest clogs come together to solve a ‘foxer’ handcrafted by my sadistic chum and colleague, Roman. A complete ‘defoxing’ sometimes takes several days and usually involves the little grey cells of many readers. Don’t be shy. All are welcome to participate.
A premature launch, a tight deadline, and scant aftercare did last year’s game jam no favours, hence this re-run. Hoping to get a few more submissions this time, I once again invite readers of a creative bent to sharpen their HBs, blow the dust off their GameMaker installs, and don their brainstorming tam o’ shanters. Starting today, you have eighty days in which to design, craft, and submit an earthbound ‘flight sim’ – a singleplayer board or computer game with escape at its core.
Unlike the formidable Friday foxers, the Monday kind are designed with lone truth sleuths in mind. While Roman, my Chief Foxer Setter, would be very interested to know how long it takes you to defox today’s brainteaser, he requests that the comments section isn’t used to share solutions or drop hints.
As the cost of living is currently rising like Sky Goldscope, the Eurasian skylark that smashed the 100, 200 and 400 metre vertical ascent records at the last Avian Olympics, I won’t start the year with an exhaustive list of every promising PC wargame and sim due in 2022 – it would be too dispiriting. I’ll limit today’s overview to the ten titles I predict will tug on purse strings most insistently during the coming twelve months.

How time flies. Tally-Ho Corner turns one tomorrow, which means I’ll be wrapping it in the skin of a freshly slain hare and passing it through the eye of Æthelwulf’s Needle – a local menhir. According to legend, any website that doesn’t undergo this ritual on its birthday is sure to end up selling its soul for a mess of pottage or a potty message in the following year. As the days leading up to a ‘threading’ are meant to be spent either in silent meditation or off your tits on sloe gin (naturally, I opted for the hedgerow hooch)…
