7479 HackNet games 4512 0.7.5 Looking good! I even managed to get the Golden Spork! Hurrah! I then managed to get back through the sky level to the start, but didn't find any way to actually win- but the game's not finished, and it <I>is</I> mean to be a multiplayer game.<P> Just in case people aren't grasping the fact, this thing <I>is</I> playable already. It still needs work, like more kinds of monsters and objects (and yeah, the option of roguelike keys would be nice), but it seems like the most part of the code is already there. So can SOMEBODY else give this a go too, and comment? I'm feeling like the only one here (apart from the author) !<P> Aah, heck, I'll <I>temporarily</I> rate it 4 stars, in case it encourages more people to look. I still want someone to set up a public server, what'd be the point otherwise? 2002-11-27 17:32:04 0
7480 Tower Toppler games -1 Re: A few remarks Game pace is too slow. The character should move faster. And please get rid of that honk sound! 2002-11-27 17:38:02 7436
7481 Tower Toppler games 5360 Re: Nice game Like you said, if you already know how to beat a tower it becomes very easy (and therefore boring and tedious) to beat it again. Just because "back in the day" it was done without any "help" doesn't mean it has to be that way now. You're always welcome to play it through without using any passwords, you know. :) <br><br> Anyway, for me, now that the passwords have been included, the game rocks. :)<br> The only (extremely minor) issue I have is that the little green dude is all pixelated compared to his beautiful surroundings. It would be nice if he could be good-looking too :) 2002-11-27 17:53:43 7437
7482 The Ur-Quan Masters games 4512 New record for a open-source download? Wow, I thought that that "Transfusion" game was asking me to download a lot in one chunk. Well, at least <I>this</I> allows you to download the media/content type stuff separately from the source code, which is a good thing. But that content is still <I>129 MEGABYTES!</I><P> I guess I'll never get to find out what the people on the ADoM newsgroup were making such a fuss about (they'd gone off topic about Star Control, and it seemed popular). OK, I expect I could try getting it on CD or something, but that aint gonna happen :P 2002-11-27 18:46:20 0
7483 XbattleAI games 4512 Multiplayer usage question I remember downloading the original version of XBattle, and it sounded neat, BUT: The thing that stopped me playing it was that its method of doing multiplayer games was for one player to run the program on his X display, and have the game pop up windows on the X displays of all the other players (who had to give him permission to connect).. Now considering what a humungous security risk this kind of approach is (last time I heard, XBlast, a bomberman clone, worked the same), I wasn't willing to try playing against people that way.Besides, you have to track down opponents to play that way, rather than just finding a public server.<P> SO. Clearly this fork of the original XBattle allows you to play against AI opponents, but does it also implement a <I>proper</I> way of playing multiplayer? 2002-11-27 19:03:02 0

7485 Roll 'm Up games -1 Is this still available? This sounds like a great game, but whenever I try to go to lostboys.nl, I can't connect. Are they still around? Is there somewhere else I can find it? T4TH. 2002-11-28 08:25:33 0

7488 GPL Arcade Volleyball games -1 Re: Help and suggestions welcome. yes, it seems to me key definition is very important (i am also on an azerty keyboard - i am french) . Also, sometimes, the ball is very very fast and sometimes not. Could you give to it the same speed ? Anyway, you game is really super and i hope you will be able to improve it. Cordially :-) 2002-11-28 12:15:51 7470
