I still have it, too. It was awesome with Tie Fighter. I liked that you could screw something inside the center of the directional pad to make it a mini joystick, which I did for Street Fighter. At the time I appreciated its console-style design - it helped me to forget all the config.sys and autoexec.bat tinkering I had to do to get the games up and running. _________________ Come to me, Mordel.

I don't have mine anymore, it had an unfortunate accident. Now all I'm left with is my serial port Sidewinder which I prefer since it has six face buttons instead of four.
Does anyone know of any excellent PC controllers that have great digital pads that I won't have to buy from Japan or some country like that? _________________

I had that pad, too. I remember tossing it out, actually, many years down the road (just because was over-zealously spring-cleaning). I remember buying it from the local PC shop in Pembroke, Ontario. It was my first computer game pad. I got it to play Mortal Kombat, I think. |

remember how in one of the last levels of the first part of jill the M comes crashing down for no good reason? and then how you didn't know what the M meant for over a decade?
also if anyone has all of the registered levels of cosmo's cosmic adventure, well, i dunno. |

see, the M was added to the game so the developers could spell out "epic megagames" (one of the bonus icons is the flashing text "epic"), and their only behavior is to crash down from above. for some reason, though, a single letter M appears in one of the later stages in the first jill episode, crashing down from the sky and scaring the heebie-bejeezus out of you. it is a total non-sequitor until you realize it's one of the building blocks of a megagames logo, which the level designer just dragged over to that spot in the level editor in a fit of whimsy.
hey, are people still looking for electro cop / man / body? because it's supposedly freeware. _________________

so i played some xargon based entirely on a comparison to jill of the jungle. and yes: it was obviously put together using a modified version of the jill engine. i'm just not feeling it, though. partially i think it's because of the graphics: everything's less square, and it loses some of that cobbled-together-in-an-editor charm. i think the sprites are bigger, too, meaning you see less of the area around you (which also makes it harder to appreciate the level design). it also feels like there was an effort to boy everything up: instead of magical daggers we fire laser bullets, instead of hi-jump arrows we get super-cool brand name sneaks, instead of transforming into a fish we ride our ultra-futuristic metal sub dome thingie, instead of frogs and firebirds we fight robots blam ka-pow, instead of jill we have a nordic archaeologist man with a ridiculous name in a muscle shirt. i don't know, maybe i'm just too attached to jill.
i will say that it's frustrating how you have to start a stage over at death - because the stages are big and contain puzzles and keys and doors and secrets. in jill death returns you to the entrance to the stage, but doors you've unlocked stay open, puzzles you've solved stay solved, items you've found stay found, and enemies you've slain stay slain - allowing you to at least feel like you're making some measure of progress (friggin' demons).
i quit the game after falling in lava made me restart a huge stage. _________________

The third installment of Game Empire arrived today (along with my special edition of Fatman). More soon!
It seems to be mostly windows games which is cool. _________________

Turns out Epic has a FPS in the works before Unreal. Unless, this is what Unreal originally was.

I found something!
Fat Frog RPG.
It was the first OHRRPGCE game that was released commercially. This is the old demo. It is embarrassingly bad. Maybe some screenshots later? When you near death in battle, your frog gets very gory and gross. This game is hilarious. _________________

Yeah, I bet most of them were of Jill's bottom.
I remember playing this aged 11 and being put off by the overt sexuality in the sprite design. I still don't like any game that makes me feel like a creep for playing it. |

Yeah, about 7 or 8 years back I went to an "anime club" where there were like 40 guys in a room and they had a poster set up on the back wall and the lights were dim. I brought my girlfriend with. Everyone was just sitting around and waiting, and when it was supposed to start one kid got up and pointed at the poster he had just flipped over which said "Today we will be watching 'Strange Love' _Subtitled!_. Comments will be held until after."
My girlfriend and I walked out about 15 minutes into it.
I can play Jill of the Jungle no problem though! _________________ “The average man has a secret desire to be a swaggering, drunken, fighting, raping swashbuckler.”

Hm, I still have copies of a bunch of old Apogee and Epic greats. Not too many full versions though, I was always kind of a poor kid. I do have the full install of Raptor: Call of the Shadows somewhere, that I know for sure.
I... also have a 3.5 somewhere with the demos for all the Exile games on there, and a couple of pirate 99-in-1 CDs with shareware demos all over the place.
Once I find the discs I could share my bounty, if anyone is yarr-interested. Like it's really piracy anymore though, I imagine most of these companies didn't sell the rights to their smaller titles. _________________

One Must Fall: 2097,
Oh how I loved thee.
I originally played you such a long long time ago as a shareware game. I didn't have the money or the resources to be able to buy the full version of you, and the shareware version only had three or so robots, but I played the crap out of you. My friend down the street could kick my ass at you, but I still wanted to play against him every time I could. Neither of us had a game pad, but we crammed our hands onto a keyboard to fight as one giant weirdly designed robot against another.
Years later, I am a sophomore in college. As a result of your sequel getting put out (and unfortunately not being very good), your full version gets freewared on the internet. My computer can't run your sequel, but is more than capable of running you, so I jump on a download and boot you up. And you are way too fucking fast to play. At least, until I discover a slider in the menu that lets me crank it down a bit. And then, there it was. A toggle for juggling? What? Well, apparently whoever designed you, OMF:2097, decided that juggling was sweet, but had no clue how to balance it in a game, and so just made it an option. And turning it on made the single player game that much more awesome, as it became a game of seeing how many times I could bounce my opponent before he hit the ground.
One thing I have always loved about you is how you had characters the player played as, who then in turn piloted robots. There were only like 12 characters, so odds were good that they would meet up against each other. Before a match, the opposing pilots would taunt each other, and when luck would have it they were the same person, they said some pretty funny stuff. My personal favorite was when the one guy, who looked particularly anti-social and violent, would meet himself and the first one would say "Every time I think about you..." and the other one would follow up with "...I hit myself."
Oh OMF:2097, you were special to me.
Love,
Boojiboy7 |

I think I'd be ok with Jill of the Jungle now. I was sort of a prude as a child! ...except when it came to pictures of naked ladies I found in the newspaper, that was ok for some reason.
So yeah, 'Love Hina' we were like 'WHY ARE THESE PEOPLE LAUGHING'. It was just weird. Childlike attitude to sexuality expressed through an adult libido would be the best way to describe it. We were freaked out. |

Speaking of which, if anyone has any issues - anything before 2000 - of Computer Gaming Magazine, Next-Generation, Inside Mac Games, or Computer Games Magazine/Strategy Plus, you have a party interested in taking them off your hands. _________________ Come to me, Mordel. We shall depart. |

The IMG issues are from 1994-1996 (only 1995 is complete). It took a very long time for these to crop on ebay, and I got in a bidding war. The guy who lost offered me twice the money for them. I politely decliced!
I would like to archive these somehow, though. Damn thing won't let me copy/paste, unfortunately!
I'd love to get the CD that collected the first year or so, but like that's ever going to crop up.
I also have a large Next Generation collection, I'm hoping to find someone selling all the coverdisks someday because my mother threw them all out WHAT WAS SHE THINKING, JUST BECAUSE I DIDN'T TAKE THEM WITH ME DIDN'T MEAN I DIDN'T WANT THEM, GOD.
Also all most of my issues suffer from moisture damage because I didn't know keeping them in a cupboard for ten years would do that _________________

they are super ancient quicktime, i wonder if they will work outside my mac emulator.
also most of the interview is text, with a couple video answers from Alex and Jason (as usual, Greg stays out of sight).
there is also a video of the mac games expo from 199...whatever, when bungie had a booth and was just about to release marathon. i'll see if i can put that up too, even though there is only a little bit of bungie (all the other booths are interesting too though! also everyoen hates being caught on camera).
i've only gone through a couple discs... sure to be lots more stuff on these.
real pain in the ass that i can't copy and paste, i'd like to post the original marathon review and whatnot. _________________
