Besides, it is originally a celebration of successful massacres of native tribes. John Westcott and Paul Apodaca write: "The year was 1637... 700 men, women, and children of the Peqout Tribe gathered for their annual "Green Corn Dance" in the area that is now known as Groton, Connecticut. While they were gathered in a place of meeting , they were surrounded and attacked by mercenaries of the English and Dutch. The Indians were ordered from the building and as they came forth, they were shot down. The rest were burned alive in the building. The next day, the governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony declared "A day of thanksgiving" thanking god that they had eliminated all the men, women, and children."

Still screenshots look quite good - something like a cross between the BBC original and the Speccy version, but "flickery" doesn't even begin to describe it. You can see the vector lines being drawn. Quickly, but you can. -- Duncan Snowden. |
