You have no idea just how high the scale goes, you should see some of the
things people have showed me over the years. I was pretty impressed by the
Palm OS BrikWars calculator, and then there was a guy who made a Java app
that let you play Virtual BrikWars online. But the current champ is a guy
who said BrikWars would make a great trading-card game (Magic: The Gathering
style) and when I didn't believe him he made an online version of it to show
me. That's pretty hard to beat, an Internet simulation of a trading card
game of a LEGO simulation of fantasy combat.
If you can top that, I won't be impressed so much as terrified!
