Beginnings

Materialism @ 9.8 m/s2 (originally Aahhhhh) is a collaborative game that can be played by two people at one time. It was created by seven people: Steve, Frank, Leon, Arthur, Mark, Widget, and Chris. The game involves falling to your death from an exploded plane. You have to save yourself by destroying crates and boxes that are also falling from the plane. Some boxes hold weapons that will bash apart the metal crates and anhiliate the suitcases of injustice. Other boxes hold dangerous explosives that will end your life. Still other boxes hold useless junk that will just get in your way. You have to find a parachute before you hit the ground. You might survive with just a few scraps and bruises or you might just die, splat.
