[Have the final puzzle of your game depend on a specific piece of technology. For example, having to eject the CD to solve the game, making it impossible to finish for all the future generations that bought it using GoG.Also as an added bonus, make the game in really low poly 3D and force the players to walk around huge empty maps. (This might help get the reference if the previous line didn't).-]

Implement score points in your game and make 1 score point impossible to get because of a bug. Or just for fun. You like fun, don't you? Your players will have fun too, searching for the solution to get maximal score.

Ohh I have been guilty of this one when I made public an unfinished game, had to apologize too many times.

That is correct.

Sometimes I fear I'm not that good at finding obscure games.
Let's try with this one:

Tron 2.0

Here are some fun ones to compare with the originals

I really like that solution, quite clever

Hello mr Burns, good to see you here.

To change the graphics of a button for an animation, you can use Button.Animate(view, loop, delay, repeat)
Just create the talk animations like you would a character walking animation and put the number of the animation View and Loop, the delay is the speed (how many cycles it takes to show the next frame) and the repetition.

Since you are new when it comes to coding, I'd personally recommend you to try using the Sierra style speech. (in the General Settings tab, Dialog > Speech Style)
It's made for showing only one portrait at a time, but it is handled by the engine and automatically sets the length of the animations based on the amount of text the character is saying.
What you do to set it up is to set the animated portrait as the default character speaking animation.

It's always a good idea to put an unskippable mini game that demands reflexes and quick thinking. Not only should it be difficult, but if possible, tie the game to the processor speed directly, so the difficulty increments hand in hand with technology.

Indeed it is, exclamation mark included!

So it's your turn again Amayirot

I'm toying around with an idea for this. I hope I manage to have it in some finished state before the competition ends.

I know, probably not the most original place to go.
(Also I couldn't resist to try working on the glorious C64 palette)

No, it's not Gizmos & Gadgets

Yay!

Now let's try with this one:

Crystal Maze?

That's correct.
Congratulations Amayirot

Ok, I will refrain my impulses of putting Giana Sisters DS

And instead I will pick something different:

Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams!

Indeed it is. The best Super Mario game ever in C64.

Your turn CaptainD

OK, let's give this a try.

This is going to be easy I think, but it is one of my favorite games ever.

Thanks for the warm welcome
