The Gamer's Quarter

I'm gonna say that I agree with Dess here. How could anyone be turned off by something that lets us play games in a new and different way that just happens to make certain games possible that wouldn't ...

Aren't there like a billion and a half other good games on the DS?

Nope... Played on my ex-girlfriends DS and just wasn't impressed with anything but Castlevania and even that irritated me.

I ...

As much as I've been dying for a new Super Mario Bros game I just ain't liking that video much. It looks... alright.. I just really don't like the graphics much and I sure ain't buying a DS just for ...

All of Capcom's scrolling beat 'em ups are worth playing. Not a crap one amongst them in my opinion. Just some are better than others is all. Battle Circuit is a lot of fun, Armored Warriors is for ...

MAME runs it but so do Final Burn Alpha, WinKawaks and I think RAINE too.

I personally use WinKawaks as it runs faster for me (much smoother than MAME as it's more focused on getting CPS1&2 and ...

How do you actually access this level? I got here via the cheat on Kawaks and ya see a cockpit with pilots sorta explode and pan acr ...

The sound is decent too. Strange screams from Frank I ain't sure what he's saying, if he's saying anything at all. Also doesn't he jump off his van and do a flying kick through the back window of a ...

In the games me and some of my buddies make though we usually have the Windowed mode on as default and then have various options for resolution switching or ugly scaling (if people prefer fullscreen w ...

well, i've always considered it somewhat rude to take over someone's entire desktop.

I always preferred it when games did that personally. Because if I'm loading the game it's cos I want to play i ...

jaywalker runs in a 600x600 window. i always make my games windowed.

Any reason for this? Cos that's what bugs me most about playing Invader. I far prefer playing games that hide the fact I'm pla ...

That Jaywalkers quite an addictive lil game. Didn't realise it had joypad controls too. Music sorta bugs me.. not the tunes itself (though not fond of sung vocals in simple games), just the bloaty ...

Just occurs to me that at least two of my projects can be classed amongst these. One of which is the Amstrad game I'm doing which my avatar is from.

Curious, as I have some 2nd hand movies (and a lot of games) that look to be fairly scratched and worn yet run fine on my PS2. Games in particular should be more the worry as they are much more o ...

I very much dislike the DVD format, but just because it is way too fragile. I do notice the difference between DVD and VHS, but VHS tapes are a whole lot more durable.

Not fragile if ya look after ...

What exactly are you using to watch DVDs? Cos I can clearly see a much improved picture on movies I own on both DVD and VHS. My VCR broke a couple years ago and I've had absolutely no desire to get ...

Alien vs. Predator always sounded really great to me. A lot of pretty high concept stuff for one game.

I found out with that game you can make grown men scream like little girls. Played it in 3 p ...

I'll give it a shot. Where can I download it? There's no obvious link on that site.

Or am I mistaken in believing this to be a freeware title?

La-Mulana is great. It's a pity that it never really got that much exposure.

Yup, good game. Pretty tough though.

Maybe my fave game SwitchBlade falls into this genre somewhat too as its a game made up of large levels where you explore for pieces of a sword and fight against enemies. It doesnt scroll but most lo ...

Also, say what you will about Final Fantasy, the games are much, much better than pretty much any other jRPG series out there barring Dragon Quest, but I'd even argue against that if I felt strongly e ...

I really love some of these random banner choices. The Outfoxies one made me grin but to see Gungrave as well? I love that game on my PS2. Noisy an ...

Hm, this actually makes me tempted to get a pad.

Just wish more people had similar joypads for PC.. I'd make more games that actually used these things.
Why don't you just have customizable cont ...

I actually don't know very much about Gamemaker at all, other then being a little bummed that it's not multiplatform and seems to only support 2 controllers.... it seems quite nifty overall

Yeah. ...

I don't know if Gamemaker could tint everything below the line a bit blueish as well, it's not that important to my idea....

Not sure what you mean exactly but I'm fairly sure GM should be capabl ...

I'm not an RPG fan.. though I do like the occasional RPG sort of game that has more real time combat such as the Secret of Mana games.
I can't really recommend Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga enoug ...

There are actually people beside me who don't like Final Fantasy VII? I got banned from some forum a few years ago for saying I felt the game was vastly overrated. And I had bought it back when it w ...

I got no problem with the PSP's analog either... I do however, dislike the DS's stylus (and the darn tiny buttons on the main unit but that's another matter), and really get annoyed when a game seems ...

Loading time? On a cartridge? That's pretty bad.

Loading? Maybe it was just unpacking a lot of data. I remember playing my cart of Street Fighter Alpha 2 on SNES and that has a lil pause be ...

EDIT: Yea, it is just similar enough for me to notice it I guess. It is mainly in the face and hair that I noticed it. Though really... I mean, yours is much better now that I have seen the real sprit ...

Welcome Rugal Wolverine

Not sure I understand the Rugal bit, but thanks.
Hmm! I guess I was wrong then, but your avatar looks very similar to the NGPC Rugal from KOF.

It does? Can you show me ...

hi Wolverine! your avatar, which i understand is from a game you're developing for the amstrad, is great.

much like elevator action returns!

Thanks!

And yup!

hey, so what's different ...

What's this from?

That's from a game I'm developing for my first ever computer the Amstrad CPC (about 22 years old now).

He might have not seen that as I edited the post cos I forgot about that bit. Anyways Lackey, good to see you. Ain't seen ya around Eo much at all for a while. Some nice new members and games there ...

Well damn... was reluctant to click that cos as much as I love Street Fighter, I cannot stand Mortal Kombat...and I thought it might just be some bad flash movie.

But damn damn damn that was entert ...

Welcome Wolverine! So what kinda stuff have you done in Gamemaker? Reading your gaming tastes I've got to wonder if you've ever played Abuse for the PC? I'm pretty sure it's free now, and it seems lik ...

Hi, I been known as Wolverine on various pixel art and game maker related forums for a few years now (even when I changed my damn name). I like designing games I want to play and if anyone else finds ...

Makes sense. Most people with enough money to buy a game (read: over age 12) know to avoid Batman games (and they just want Halo and GTA anyway)

If there was a GBA port of Batman from the NES I'd ...

Bit old thread but I wanted to say I always had fun playing Timesplitters (all three of them) in 2 player co op with a buddy even though I don't really like FPS games that much (the TS series is a rar ...

These demos look promising. I really enjoyed the Invader game which is why I'm here really. Am a GM user myself and like checking out the quality games made with it.
