hmm, it was a completely different game back then. different setting, different story, different game play. (what like, 5 years ago or more?) i don't see how that would inform an opinion on the current version.

also don't really see how its a "by the numbers" sci fi plot.

Friend just sent me this link...

Denis Dyack has massive, massive balls.

reading hateful comments about your game on the internet

muttering/yelling about things you have no effect over

I was just thinking about how we can remove ads from websites, but we can't from magazines - when I remembered how my mom cuts ads out of her subscription magazine. (macleans)

I love reading game magazines, but there's just so many ads and sometimes its discouraging.

Those are some awesome classic computer shots.

That reminds me.

Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen started out with your human main character in a tavern, finishing up a drink. You get control right away, and as soon as you leave, assassins attack you. You can try to survive for as long as possible, but eventually they'll kill you...



...then you get raised from the dead as a vampire, your first objective being to murder your would-be assassins.

 

Here's a video of a guy surviving for a really long time at the beginning.

(lol, someone mixed Nightwish, Blood Omen and Spanish and its ridiculous)

that's about as likely to happen any time soon as the rapture.

You just had to go and say it. 

"It's yours, absolutely free".   :D

After only 29.99 monthly payments of $1

In that case, I prefer "KHAAAAAN!"

Huh?

My guess is that it has some kind of modern/new gameplay mechanic that makes use of the pixel art in an unusual way.

for the game!

For the game!

For the game.

For art! the game.

of...art?

Oh noes

I'm completely lost on the Atari comment.

Well excuse me princess.   

Huh?

Huh?

[NO!!]

xix is the Ted Stevens of TIGForums, only less patient.

This is the thread for wacky bugs you've discovered in your own games (or others'). Something that was unintentional, but crazy weird and funny.

I've seen two weird ones that stand out in my time.

Back in the QBasic days, I was working on an RPG called "Ending World", which had a lot of textboxes. One time I was testing the game, one of the characters said my dad's email address 5 times in a row. It only happened once. I have no idea how it happened, unless memory somehow got corrupted and pointers were pointing to different strings.

But the best of all time for me has to be from a game I worked on in Winnipeg called "Dungeon: Gladiator". Somehow, if you exceeded the texture RAM, texture pointers weren't guaranteed to point to the texture you wanted to load - they could point to any other texture. The characters were broken up into head and body textures, and that lead to the creation of...

You don't see many games being developed for the Atari 2600 anymore...
