your right, some of these are very cool looking.

this is probably VERY true. our idea of a bridge game evolved from the
2 things... the recent (then) junk yard wars episode of bridge building,
and because we don't do anything half a$$ed, we wanted to make it more
than just a simple bridge cross, that's when we came up with the "flag"
idea. it make perfect sense to me that different groups evolve the same
ideas. know that we know about this I think as a courtesy we should
link to their web page.

No, I cant say I've seen Kibun's work. I should really be surfing the
japanese technic web rings more. they are very cool. AS a side note,
you'll notice Jin Satos name scatter about these pages. I cant say I'm
surprised, RTL had the extreme pleasure of having Jin join us at a few
of our early events. (nothing comes close to holding the "original"
Aibo.)
