hi everyone,
my name is Mat and I would like to share my very first game with you.
I'm just a quarter-nerd since I saw "New Hope" 21 times and C64 was my first toy. But my programming skills haven't evolved much since:

10 PRINT "hi"
20 GOTO 10


And after my friend have shown me the Tigsource I discovered that there's much more about gaming than what you can find on the book-shelf. So I started to wonder what would Counter-Strike look like in 1980's and in few days I made RETRO STRIKE using Game Maker. But then again I haven't read any tutorial.. just using my intuition and some basic logics.

Now I know I could have done it better. But after all it's rather a joke.

Although I would like to hear from you, what you think about this "game", this idea, and the video I made for it. You think it's worth developing?

It's all on http://www.retrostrike.com


P.S. forgive me using AdSense on the site, I'm just checking how it works, and how to manage it.

Sounds like a pretty neat idea, actually.

I haven't tried the game, but the trailer looked pretty nice to me 

EDIT: Even though it's probably really hard to do, having Retro Strike in 3D would be awesome. You'd stay closer to the original Counter-Strike, and you could keep



theme.

If it was done in the 80s the terrorists would be ninjas and the counter-terrorists shirtless dudes with huge guns and sunglasses

I think your game sums up the essance of CS pretty good actually :D

[mdzikowski]

wow. thanks for your posts.

@JLJac : I tried to describe CS to my dad. And he said: if it consists just in shooting at your opponents why is it so popular? well I don't know, I replied ...but the main rule is the same in Retro-Strike :D

@Andreas Kämper : Maybe this is what I should do. Retro-Strike 2.0 will have ninjas, Sly Stallone and real guns from the 80's. After all that's a bit what "Contra" was. except from the guns and the ninjas maybe

@genericuser : I don't know if 3D would do the thing. But if I ever do this... dude, I'd no longer be just a quarter-nerd but a full-time 100% approved nerd

How do I bunny hop in this?
