Bumpy bump!
I added trophies and set the deadline

Tabata · Wed 13/12/2017 22:52:46

Oooh ... what a cool theme for us retro gamers ... sweet memories ... and such nice trophies.

I really hope to find the time for pushing some pixelated memories in that shape

Funkpanzer · Sat 16/12/2017 05:55:05

After the success of Dubreq's Stylophone, creator Brian Jarvis got to work on what would be his only foray into the world of personal computing. Boasting a 6.5" plasma display, 58 key stylus operated keyboard, single-button cursor, stylish chrome faced chassis, and internal speakerâ€"the Stylocom stood apart from the personal computers of 1975. It's most impressive feature was a self-contained record lathe that could record user compositions onto 2.5" vinyl discs.

[imgzoom]http://www.charlietwitch.com/ags/stylo_comp.gif[/imgzoom]

Unfortunately, due to it's limited functionality beyond eight bar compositions, misophonic tonal quality, and tendency to crash when looping back to the start of a piece, the Stylocom was recalled hours before it's release. Nothing is known of what became of the thousands of un-shipped units but computer historians still believe at least a dozen or so managed to leave store shelves and may still be out there...

e: wowza I didn't understand the challenge at all!

AnasAbdin · Sat 16/12/2017 14:58:39

OMG Funkpanzer

You filled the shape perfectly even the bumpy corner is amazing!
Can't wait to see more

Haha I know! But seriously, I like the diversity this competition demonstrate.

Come on AGS! Show me some more entries

Tabata · Mon 18/12/2017 19:33:19

Funkpanzer!

That's ... incredible awesome!

selmiak · Mon 18/12/2017 20:42:55

cool stuff funkypanzer! For a moment I thought you even composed something and put a melody in there, then I saw the tabs have only 3 lines... is this arranged for bass?

AnasAbdin · Wed 20/12/2017 03:23:55

Deadline extended until enough entries

Click'd · Wed 20/12/2017 03:58:19

Funkpanzer wins, give him all the trophies.

Funkpanzer · Wed 20/12/2017 04:02:51

I was just tryna get this pixel party started!

Tabata · Sat 23/12/2017 11:54:50

Wooohooo! - I am in, too!

Retro is hard to do for me since I would like to put sooo much more into the shape.

I found no space for the rubber-chicken with the pulley and a tentacle and the evil meteor and, and, and ...

... lots of golden memories to drown in ...

Here's what I squeezed into the shape

[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/Rq1SO8i.gif[/imgzoom]

... maybe you can even recognize some of my memories?

AnasAbdin · Sat 23/12/2017 17:47:48

Holy Moly Tabata!
I got all of the references! MI, Grim, DOTT, and the Lemming pushing the hole is THE BEST THING!

Made my day when I was thinking no one was going to participate

Don't forget that the colour of the hamster is a reference to MM.

Tabata · Sun 24/12/2017 12:22:01

Yes, Maniac Mansion is one of my essential memories about why I became addicted to p&c adventure games,
because I'll never forget how I tried to put the hamster in the microwave and got the answer:
"That's sick!" (In the original version, this action has been denied .)

Cassiebsg · Sun 24/12/2017 22:02:21

Decided to remember my childhood...

AnasAbdin · Tue 02/01/2018 16:23:22

That's an awesome entry Rocchinator

Could you please tell me where rule 4 is applied?

Quote from: AnasAbdin on Sat 09/12/2017 19:43:57
4. You MUST include at least one hardware part.

Tabata · Tue 02/01/2018 18:36:06

@Anas
I am pretty sure that there is a game controller in that treasure box

Rocchinator · Wed 03/01/2018 12:34:25

Tabata was quite rightan old Joystick

, Indy seems to get along well with it.

AnasAbdin · Wed 03/01/2018 15:43:32

Oh Tabata the fortune teller

Nice touch Rocchinator! The whip-joystick is awesome!

Klatuu · Fri 05/01/2018 06:32:01

I suppose my resolutions this year should be:
1.) Enter more Coloring Balls
2.) Procrastinate less.

So far, I'm about 50/50.

Thanks for this contest, AnasAbdin; the topic is dear to my heart. This entry is dedicated to my ol' Macintosh LC. It's the computer on which I first played Monkey Island, King's Quest V, and a slew of other games. I drew a lot of goofy pictures in Superpaint 2.0, wrote school papers, and it might be partly responsible for my love of computer games and interest in computer science. Here's to good old times, friends.

P.S. Thanks for the deadline extension!

AnasAbdin · Sat 06/01/2018 04:43:15
