Guys...i'm out Sad

I just can't find to time to produce a decent score.
Because I don't use emu's I have to pick up my C64 from the basement, set it up, find that game on one of the 250 tapes full of games, load it, play it, play it again to produce a highscore etc etc.

And now I need to read a huge page of instructions of Iridis Alpha thanks to Matt Mad

Actually I don't have time for any games anymore.
But I bought a lottery ticket and I feel that i'm going to win the 2 million this time (if not I will donate my little brother to Michael Jackson and sue him afterworths).
I will quit my job and spent the rest of my life watching movies, playing videogames, drinking beer...get fat, go nowhere and do nothing.

I hope you guys have fun here and I'm really sorry I can't join.

Greetings from Jeroen

Really sorry to hear that, jeroen. Sad

But why don't you try and use an emulator, maybe just for the compo?
It may not be the real thing, but it's handy.

So give 'em hell - but think about it...

Pfft, you could have read my review. Possibly.

But 45 points? Wow.

I am somehow out of ideas of what to play. This round i voted strategically in order to get Iridis Alpha. Seems like a good and challenging game to me. And also i hope that Qazi can crush all opponents giving me the chance to close in on the top5 players Wink

I am really looking forward to what games we are going to play for the rest of the year.

Games I would like to play are, besides Hawkeye:
that wonderful little shooter Zybex: 16 levels (wich you can play in any order), nice gfx and sfx, quite challenging gameplay. I never devoted much time to it, but i like it, and I would fancy a compo chance on it. It would be great to play in simultaneous 2p mode, I guess, but you can't have everything. It was also put in the top 10 shmups in the Def Guide in the November 88 issue of Zzap!64...
Other than those, what about a puzzle/arcade game for a change? Something like Pipemania or Zenji? Never played those much either.
Another idea: Samurai Warrior: Usagi Yojimbo, anyone? Too obvious?

Umm.. I tested Iridis Alpha yesterday, and i noticed that this game have "easy"- and "ugh!" mode. Should we play at easy mode? I got 2500 pts when playing easy mode Confused

This game is really hard, at least it seems to be. Those black thingys eat all my energy so quickly.. Evil or Very Mad

merman · Posted: Thu May 06, 2004 8:48 am Post subject:

Yes, definitely "easy" mode. That way the best players will get high scores, those who are new to the game will enjoy it more

Seconded

shteev is right: I take that you mean the licker things? Fly in front of them, turn and fire and then keep flying in the direction you were going.

As I am a nice guy I will be open to influence when it comes to voting for the next round. Bribe me any way you wish (money, CDs, C64 kit, sexual favours) and try to convince me that I should give your game the big 5 points.

I see some game in the lists that I think are not goog for the compo: turrican is really long and it's really easy to get extra lives so... a single game could take even days for me, and the same for some other ones. I'd ask to think better the games. Lets try games that can be played in a shot time:

1.- le mans
2.- international basketball (choose rules and max skill level, of course)
3.- one on one (you choose the time for cuarter, same as above for difficulty)
4.- munchy
5.- boulder dash (this is a little longer to play)

I have to try iridis alpha, never played it before.
