by Nicholas and Daniel Dobkin

An Introductory Note:

"Enter the Cube" tells the story of a group of fifth-graders who find themselves in worlds inspired by Nintendo's video games. 

August 2007:  

We finished this a couple of years back.  Admittedly the game worlds portrayed are now a bit dated -- that's the problem with writing about this sort of thing -- but we haven't changed the title since all the bad jokes about the Wii console have already been made several hundred times over.  Traffic reports seem to indicate that folks can still enjoy the saga of Cane's search for food and television.
