I like the "du du duuuuh!" noise it makes everytime you clear a screen. The noise of life!

Yes I was going to say Dragon's lair et all but you lot have already came to the same conclusion. It is possible to complete the game through persistance and memory. Remember where all the hotspots WILL appear and you can't fail. I cannot be bothered to this, however. (Gets slightly reminded of Rick Dangerous and the "die unfairly and remember next time" gameplay.)

Lastly, it's fun to see how he escapes from every death trap.

Tuomas is religious!Ã,  This makes me the laugh because soon I will assassinate it!

"OMG you're going to assassinate my religion?!?! :o I knew this day would come. well, I suppose it is the way Lord planned it all."


No no no, he's going to kill the laugh, and then BECOME it! Can't you read?

Superfrog!! Didn't that have an energy drink in it? Lucozade or something? I loved superfrog.

Yes, cool spot had really pleasant graphics and cool animations!

Push over and possibly it's sequel (Which name escapes me) starred Colin Quaver, lover of Walker's Quavers crisps.

Zool 2 even came with a free lolly inside the box! (Amongst some stickers and stuff)

Don't forget the surprisingly okay game that had McDonalds in it. (For the record I didn't buy such an evil game, but I did play it..) What was it called? Slime brothers???

Ont he subject on platformers, remember Ruff N Tumble? Man that game was rock hard, but it was so great and fair with it!

I tried to google an image but came up empty.

There WAS a Puplic Domain game released late nineties/early nouties on the Amiga called "Tony and friends in Kellogs land" and it was a platform game.

I never got to play it!Ã,  :'(

To keep the style, you're gonna need to high resolution, none of that blocky stuff, and make sure you get the HAIR QUIFF right!

LimpingFish, sure, if the game is a japanese Halo then I suppose you wouldn't need to know what's going on. (Indeed, I didn't know what was going on in that game anyway)

But if it's like Morrowind/Oblivion, and you NEED to know what's being said to progress in the game, then playing it in another language would render the game a hopeless cause to complete.

And would you play a point and click game in another language?

That's not what I heard.

It was in fact a blue cup that CJ had been too lazy to move from his desk. It sat there, for many years, this big blue cup. The mould inside had previously been the remants of coffee, but you wouldn't know from looking. One day, CJ finally decided to remove the cup due to the foul odour it was creating. He peered insdie the mug. Behold! A new lifeform had evolved from his waste! The lifeform was so intelligent that it taught CJ how to write computer code. His gratitude was displayed by giving his AGS website the name of their hometown, the big blue mug.

If someday Japanese evolves naturally into my brain and I stumble across a free gamecube I'll track down a copy of this game.


Don't forgot a 60Hz compatible television. (Right?)

Yeah, is it that easy? Could you grab any game you've already made and do that to it? Would you have to draw the 2D stuff so it's flat? Did you make those shadows to give that impression on the characters or is it automatic?

Thanks but no thanks, I'm not going to investigate a game I'll never be able to play!

I wish I didn't know about that 3D RPG maker on the PS2 in japan either! (That needs a hard drive anyway.. which we don't have.. traditionally.)

Spot the difference...Ã,  ;)



The one on the right isn't most likely to develop a cartoon diorama adventure game.

The one on the right appeared in a comatose-inducing space soap.

The one on the right writes back to my PMs.Ã,  :P

Wow that would be great! Especially when you go against the AI and die by default! I'm phoning up Peter Molyneux right now and telling him I've found a fantastic game designer!  :P

Welcome to the forums (I think).

That would have sounded clever if you hadn't made so many english errors yourself!  ;)

I don't think it had anything to do with easter. It's just that old music tends to get compiled onto cheap discs that cost very little to buy.
#2536
Yes Stu, in light of it having your game on it (That I've played by the way!) I can totally understand why you gave WHSmith your wallet to get the magazine! I've been in magazines over five times and it never gets old!

That would make a good thread.. the "Your appearance, name or work in a magazine"

Or something catchier.

Where can I get this magazine? I'll be checking my local newsagents tomorrow!

edit: I picked it up at WHSmith. It costs £9.99!! :o

(And don't get me started on those one off magazines with old stuff put on a disc, and the magazine put in a nice box, with a £9.99 price tag attached. Are people made of money, or just stupid to buy that?)

Did you buy it?Ã,  ;D

haha. that is pretty funny. It just shows that they only spent 2 minutes on gettingÃ,  a screengrab, and just slapped it on the article.

But again, congrats to everyone!

Hey wait a minute, the screenshots are all black and white with a tinge of green! Are they so cheap as to have greyscale-ish screenshots to save on ink? And is that why they got a boring main menu? (As in main menu's are boring, don't take offence)

Nice choice of music, Max Payne!
