I'll bet this guy thought it would be a great joke to post a game that had no goal, just an interface with enough bells and whistles to make think, "Who would go through this trouble if it isn't a real game?"

You people who think that humpback is a joke just don't have any patience. The object is easy. Look at the map in the lower right corner. The idea is to get from the United Arab Emerates to Mecca while getting the camal through the eye of the needle as many times as possible. Some things to keep in mind is that, for beginners, it is better to choose a bactrian (two hump) camel. Although they look bigger, they have better eyes (especcially the females). Another hint is to keep your eyes on the target sight (lower middle of the screen) instead of the camal. Line up the eye of the needle leaving alittle space , then move forward and build up your velocity before you get to where you touch the needle. If this is still hard for you, get ahold of Wade's illustrated guide, he did a good job on it.

Something like that, at least in the modern translations. I've heard (can't cite a source, unfortunately) that this is actually a serious mistranslation that confuses the sense of the original analogy... the word used in the original (Aramaic?) wasn't "camel", but was instead a compound word derived from the phrase "camel-hair" and meant "rope".

Okay okay. Humpback is a joke, right? Right? If it's not, could somebody POST some pointers? (It seems the demand would be there if this program is really for real.) If it is a joke, please POST so, so we'll all know. Thanks. -- ============ban==signatures========================= Mike Schmelzer, Interloper.
