The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I was in grade school when me and my brothers first started playing this and we played it from start to finish because we never knew that there could be hidden parts to the game at all. I went into high school a year later and one of the first friends I met told me about Warp Zones ... I went and showed my brothers and it was like discovering a hidden message from the Illuminati and we had become part of some sort of secret brotherhood.

After learning about all the warp zones ... then the competition became speed running the game. We thought it was just amazing to be able to play through the entire game in under an hour. I know it can be done in five minutes but we were never that good.

New generations today have no idea what it felt like to discover these things for the first time ever when things like this didn't exist before ... and to live in a world where there was no internet or immediate way to talk or chat with people all over the world. Discovering stuff like this through word of mouth was unbelievable and amazing.
