 Parlett also invented a number of board games, the most successful of which is Hare and Tortoise (1974).
 The German edition was awarded Spiel des Jahres (Game of the Year) in 1979. The Tale of the Land of Green Ginger
The Tale of the Land of Green Ginger is a 1937 book for children by Noel Langley.
 (Later editions shortened the title to The Land of Green Ginger.)
 The book is illustrated by Edward Ardizzone.
 It tells the story of Abu Ali, the son of Aladdin (who is now emperor of China).
 Abu Ali's first words are "Button-nosed tortoise", which immediately mark him out as fated to perform an important task when he grows up.
 On reaching maturity, Abu Ali duly sets out on his quest (the hero's journey)), has various adventures, and struggles to do good whilst foiling the schemes of the Wicked Princes, Rubdub Ben Thud and Tintac Ping Foo. The Return of Jafar
The Return of Jafar (also known as Aladdin 2: The Return of Jafar) is a 1994 direct-to-video sequel to the 1992 animated film "Aladdin", both produced by The Walt Disney Company.
 The film was released on May 20, 1994 and serves as the first episode of the "Aladdin" animated series.
 Culled from material originally intended for the first five episodes of the series, It was the first Disney direct-to-video animated film.
 Another direct-to-video sequel, "Aladdin and the King of Thieves", was released in 1996.
 It marked the first American animated direct-to-video film. Tortoise Wins by a Hare
Tortoise Wins by a Hare is a Merrie Melodies cartoon released on February 20, 1943 and directed by Bob Clampett.
 It stars Bugs Bunny and Cecil Turtle.
 Bob Clampett took Tex Avery's scenario from "Tortoise Beats Hare" and altered it for this film.
 The title is an appropriate pun on "hair".
 This is one of the first shorts to feature Robert McKimson's design of Bugs Bunny.
 A newspaper's front page (the "Chicago Sunday Tribunk") shown in this cartoon accurately predicts Adolf Hitler's suicide two years later. Jazz Jackrabbit
Jazz Jackrabbit is a video game trilogy featuring the eponymous character of Jazz Jackrabbit, a green anthropomorphic hare, who fights with his turtle nemesis, Devan Shell, in a science fiction parody of the fable of "The Tortoise and the Hare".
 Created by Arjan Brussee and Cliff Bleszinski and developed by Epic MegaGames, the series debuted on the personal computer in 1994 with "Jazz Jackrabbit".
 The series consists of two computer games and a handheld console game. Five Style
Five Style (a name taken from a martial arts technique called "Five Style Fist"), also known as 5ive Style, is a Chicago-based funk/jam quartet.
 Their albums were released on the Subpop label in the 1990s.
 The group existed from about 1993-2000 in various incarnations, centered on the guitar work of Billy Dolan (who has also played in Heroic Doses, and The Fire Theft which featured 3 members of Sunny Day Real Estate, among other projects).
 Other members were major players of the 1990s Chicago music scene and included bassist Leroy Bach (of Chicago funk group Uptighty, the first Liz Phair studio band, and Wilco fame), drummer John Herndon (aka "Johnny Machine", who made his first appearances on record in "Tool of the Man" era Poster Children and became established as a longstanding drummer/percussionist in Tortoise), and keyboardist Jeremy Jacobsen (also known as The Lonesome Organist and member of Euphone).
 Drummer Ryan Rapsys, also of Euphone and Gauge, filled in on drums on a January 2000 tour when they opened for Giant Sand and Vic Chesnutt.
 5ive Style were the opening act in a brief May 1996 tour which also included The Sea and Cake and Tortoise; by some accounts these dates were the best shows of the Chicago "post-rock" hey day. Metallic dragon
Metallic dragon is a classification of dragon found in the role playing game "Dungeons & Dragons".
 In this setting metallic dragons are of good alignment.
 Bahamut is the deity of good-aligned dragons and metallic dragons, and currently the only known Platinum dragon in existence.
 Metallic dragons have played a large role in D&D's various monster compilation books, and for most of the game's history five main types - brass, copper, bronze, silver, and gold - were presented as roughly analogous to the five types of chromatic dragons.
 The fourth edition of the game's second "Monster Manual" substituted iron and adamantine dragons for brass and bronze, and released the latter dragons in a later book alongside cobalt, mercury, mithral, orium, and steel dragons. The Tortoise and the Hare (film)
The Tortoise and the Hare is an animated short film released on January 5, 1935 by United Artists, produced by Walt Disney and directed by Wilfred Jackson.
 Based on an Aesop's fable of the same name, "The Tortoise and the Hare" won the 1934 Academy Award for Best Short Subject: Cartoons.
 This cartoon is also believed to be one of the inspirations for Bugs Bunny, who first appeared in 1940.
