Full Purples And Sharked Up

I've been playing Terraria again.

Today I've managed to knock off the first two bosses (the Eye of Cthulhu and the Eater of Worlds), score a full set of Demonite items (sword, axe, hammer, pickaxe, bow, helmet, armour, greaves), and have enough ore left over from my mining expedition to afford a Minishark ("Half shark, half gun, completely awesome.")

Skeletron awaits.

For those who haven't played it, Terraria is what Nethack would be if it were reimagined as a 2D platformer around 1992.*  I haven't yet got to the neat parts where you can build mechanical widgets like the obsidian generator or the goldfish dispenser: I have to rescue the game's wrench wench from the Dungeon where Skeletron stands guard, and pre-shark, I got splatted fairly quickly.

Update: Twenty minutes later, Skeletron is no more.  What a difference full-auto makes!  Particularly if you're upgrading from an axe...

* Though it would have been rather impractical the way it's actually implemented - with a large world, the game uses around 600MB of RAM, which would have cost something like $20,000 at that time.
