Any more votes?   

Well this is close!  The votes so far:

Sane. Co - 4
Ekeko - 3
FSi++ - 3
Bogdan - 3
Ponch - 3
Armageddon - 2

Oh, forgot my votes!


Best Story: Sane Co.
Best use of Syntax: Sane Co.  (can I give an extra point for using "> Speak esparanto to deranged goldfish and tell him to hit errant entomologist with his tail."?  No?  Pity...)
Funniest Entry: Ekeko (mainly for his use of archaic English  )

I'm almost sorry to vote for the same person in 2 categories as I really enjoyed other entries, but I'm sticking with my gut feeling.

So, time for votes:

Contestants were:

Armageddon
Ekeko
FSi++
Ponch
Sane Co.
Bogdan

Just for fun, let's have some  categories:

- Best Story
- Best use of Syntax
- Funniest Entry

1 point per vote per category.  May the winner... um... win!

[Star Wreck]

What about a Star Trek parody game? Has anybody ever done one of those?

I remember one called Star Wreck on ye olde Atari ST years ago, made with STAC (ST Adventure Creator) I think, but not sure about a more modern one.

[Ponch, where's your entry?!]

Well that was certainly different...

Incidentally Ponch, where's your entry?!

Big Blue Box

Big Blue Box o' Stuff

Peder-o's Box

Now that I've managed to resurrect both my PC and internet connection, I really hope to find some time to play this one!! 

Excellent Ekeko!  Now we have 2 (count 'em) whole entries - yay! 

As a rule of thumb, my order of preference is 2-button, LucasArts (with shortcuts!), Sierra-style, verb coin (dislike), whatever the hell you call what Telltale uses in e.g. Tales of MI (hate!).

To be fair to ToMI (which I did mostly enjoy), it's only the movement interface that is awful - yes, to the point where if you had a committee meeting to determine the exact worst movement interface that could possibly be made, this is probably what they'd come up with.  But the rest of it was normal point and click.

Just saying... 

Generally I prefer a 2-click interface (left button interact, right button look), but the old-school verb list can add to some interesting puzzles if used right.

Though there are exception, such as Curse of Monkey Island and Gemini Rue, mostly seeing that a game has a verb coin makes me shudder.  I hate those things.

[Confessions of a Zapper-Happy Jawa]

I suggest that, instead of Darth Vader, you concentrate on a smaller, non-canonical character... such as making a game called:

Confessions of a Zapper-Happy Jawa

or...

A Day in the Life of a Terminally Bored Wookie

I was hoping it might remind people a little bit of...

[This is brilliant.]

Has anyone said yet that this is brilliant?!

In case they haven't...

This is brilliant.

Loving the humour in particular, but everything seems really good so far.

"WE WANT TROPHIES!", I hear you cry... 

Well, trophies are here!  The product of much love and a complete lack of artistic talent.

So get your entries rolling in!

- the intro should be skippable, when I wanted to load a save game I had to wait for the intro to finish before I could load

Move the mouse cursor to the top of the page at the Welcome to RON sign, the load game icon will be there.

I have no idea what I'm supposed to do:

Spoiler

I have the newspaper, sugar, bread, tomato and an awl. There was this guy with the ants but now he is gone

[close]

Hmm.. I haven't found sugar and bread yet!  I wonder how I missed those? 

But it sounds like the next thing you need to do is go into the Realizer's office (next to Yahtzee store).

Spoiler

As well as speaking to the newspaper guy, make sure you go upstairs and pick up the objects in the room, and examine them from your inventory...

[close]

If you've already done that, then

Spoiler

have you been able to visit the book store yet?

[close]

 

INCEPTION DUH!

No I'm sorry, the title of the movie is clearly INCEPTION and not INCEPTION DUH!

Sorry, was that too easy?  :o

Hotel Rwanda?

Indeed! Your turn good sir!

You mean I actually got one?!?!?!?!?!?

Once I recover from fainting with shock, I'll post a pic...

Okay, here's one...
