Konami Dream: Solitaire
SIDE A
1. Solitaire
Konami Dream's phreaque leak coup de grâce, as it were, was the lifting, modifying, and redistributing of Microsoft Windows' proprietary "Solitaire" software. Posted anonymously as hacked corporate freeware on various BBS UseNet boards, Konami's Solitaire variant was at first blush a dead ringer for the original. However, upon victory, the player was rewarded with an infinitely looping card cascade, replete with coded Easter Egg messaging[1] and a poorly rendered audio loop from "Aikea Guinea" by Scottish dream-pop band Cocteau Twins. A gaelic term for "spiral seashell", "Aikea Guinea", looped and layered with vintage synthesizers, formed the basis for a separately released ambient rap track featuring the introspective musings of Konami's lyrical wordsmiths, Kevin Venom and the rapper later known as Hades of the Underworld.
