The great Douglas Ruskoff had a contest to win an autographed copy of his new book.
Of course being the smart guy that I am, I won handily with a Nintendo entry.

There is this really old game called M.U.L.E. that was released for the Atari and Commodore 64. This game has a very long and interesting history that you can learn about on a myriad of websites.
