Forum Games / Proverbs

« on: January 20, 2008, 07:54:22 PM »

In this particular Forum Game, you must Post a Proverb, and then the definition for it. It has to be meaningful, descriptive, and humorous. It can be about anything. And please be original.

I shall Start with this Example:

A Poison Mushroom is not a mushroom

A mistake that many new Super Mario Bros. players make the first time they see one is eat a poison mushroom. When it comes to seeing mushrooms, one must always remember to eat as many "reds and greens" and avoid "purples." Unless of course you are unskilled at avoiding them, then I recommend to avoid hitting question blocks altogether.

Video Game Chat / The Early Great Games

« on: December 22, 2007, 07:46:48 PM »

Way back in the beginning of computer games, many people started these terrific games, but they had never got the attention they deserved. People today still know them, but only a very select few. I'm posting this topic to show and tell you some of my favorite childhood games.

Also as a bonus, I'm providing optional downloads to the actual games. I cannot guarantee that these are virus-free however. Download at your own risk. Most of these games require MS-DOS so if you have Windows XP it might not work properly.

If any of my links are broken or the downloads are bad, let me know.

Commander Keen

Commander Keen was the very first computer game I had ever played as far as I can remember. It had a main character who dared the perils of the Vorticons and also dubbed the classic pixelated Green Bay Packer Helmet. Some people may not think much of it now but I definitely think that it is a classic.

I believe the first Episode and others are here: http://www.commander-keen.com/marooned-on-mars.php

Jazz Jackrabbit

Imagine a Rabbit with a gun, running as fast as possible shooting just about everything he could see. That was pretty much the essence of this game; A mix of Sonic and a shoot em' up. It also boasted one of the first 3-D Levels in computer gaming.

I believe the demo version of This game is here: http://www.dosgamesarchive.com/download/game/111

Duke Nukem

Duke Nukem way back on the old computers was pretty darn fun. This version of Duke Nukem is sort of a great mix between a platform/puzzle/shooter. It also had some of the coolest "Graphics" (At least, to me)

I believe the first episode for this game is here: http://www.dosgamesarchive.com/download/game/106

Monster Bash

We had an old Macintosh in Grade school that had this game. I have to admit, it was one of the more bloody games I had ever seen. It featured a Little kid, who killed Murderous Zombies with a slingshot, which also (if equipped with the correct power up) could fire huge rocks, multiple rocks, or missiles. Those Zombies never knew what was coming.

I believe the first episode for this game is here: http://www.dosgamesarchive.com/download/game/116

Tyrian

To be honest, I think this is the best scrolling shoot em' up I have ever seen, even with today's technology. It has graphics, Great music, Customizable ships and a great storyline. (You have to have the skill to find it though) Hopefully you people blinded by today's technology can see the greatness in this game. (Provided if you can download it.)

I believe that the Full 2000 Version can be found here: http://members.iinet.net.au/~vannevar/tyrian/downloads.html

Ragnarok

I Think that this is the best RPG ever made. The Gods are in war with each other. Unfortunately their weapons are missing and you must retrieve them. Or at least, that's what the main goal of the game is. Frankly, you can do almost whatever you want. Just be careful. It is very hard to Survive in Asgard, and almost every living being is out to kill you. This game is very hard to understand at first, but once you get the hang of it, it can be very fun and challenging.

I believe this is the Full game:  http://www.dosgames.com/dl.php?filename=http://www.dosgames.com/files/rag25.zip


If There is a Old game that is unheard of that you really liked, feel free to post it.

General Chat / What Is Your Favorite Color?

« on: March 09, 2007, 03:40:12 PM »

Mines Red, which represents the Fire burning inside me yet the disdain that I show on the outside. (Not really but it's a start.) Not to mention that my favorite shirt is red.

So what's your favorite color?

Video Game Chat / Mis-interpretations

« on: October 11, 2006, 02:39:20 PM »

When I'm playing games, I ussaully interpret the voices completely wrong.

Like In Mario Hoops:

-When Mario dunks the ball I thought he said "oh yeah!", but until I read the review, it said "boo yeah!"
-During the character select screen, for I while I thought the theme was "We are... Te-e-e-am" but it really was "3 on... 3"
-When the White Mage finishes her super shot, I THINK she says, "It's too late!"

There were some other things too, like in Warioware Touched, I did not understand a word of Ashley's song until I read the lyrics for it...
...By the way, one time when Mario dies, what is he saying in Super Mario Sunshine? it sounds like, "Vidividechi". Or something weird.

Any of this happens to you?

Video Game Chat / Will Wii Make it?

« on: May 10, 2006, 04:19:26 PM »

Do you think that the Wii will be a big sucess? or will it be a total failure? This is just your opinion. Oh and Don't make fun of the title.

I picked average because when asked people at school, they said no, but I still think that some people will buy it.

Forum Games / Thy Dungeonman

« on: April 23, 2006, 02:46:39 PM »

You all remember "Thy Dungeonman" from Strong Bad, right? Well in this game, you must type in what Dungeonman should do and also what happens to him.

Example:

Post 1) You are in a ROOM. obvious exits are NORTH and SOUTH. What do you do?
        >GO SOUTH

Post 2) You are now in some GREENHOUSE with all kinds of freakish PLANTS. You stare at one and discover it as a MONSTER! What do you do?
        >RUN AWAY

...and so on

It dosen't matter what you pick, so be as random as possible! (Maybe even making it funny!) Make sure to capitilize key words and certain objects like SOUTH, DOOR, and other important stuff. If you see a person, ask him anything! Once you enter a room you must remember whats in the room, and don't forget NOT to change anything.

Now to Start!!!
--------------------------------------------------

You have enter'd yon DUNGEON! This room has lots of FLOWERS but is very dull looking. Obvoius exits are NORTH, EAST, and WEST. What do you do?
     >PICK FLOWER

Video Game Chat / When you turn on your GCN...

« on: March 31, 2006, 05:48:17 PM »

Before you turn on your GCN, hold the Z button, turn it on, and see what happens.

I really don't understand why Nintendo would put that in there. Its funny and freaky at the same time.

Mario Chat / Music Composers wanted.

« on: March 31, 2006, 05:01:55 PM »

If anyone has the time, can someone find me some Super Mario Music for a Band? If we are lucky, we might be able to play it! If none exists however, someone can try to compose it.

Sorry but I can't really reward anyone.

Mario Chat / Mario Kart DS Demo Version

« on: February 12, 2006, 01:21:06 PM »

When I was at Wal-Mart, I was going to get Castlevainia when I decided to play the demo version games.(those controllers that stick out and you play demo versions)

So I picked Mario Kart DS. (I got *** on everything except missions) Of Course, the main title screen was removed so I had to just had to choose a charicter and a cup.

I choose Luigi and Retro GP.

When I played the game I noticed this...

-the shells sprites were different
-the sounds were different (like when a red shells about to hit you)
-the item sprites were different
-drifting was screwed up
-music sounded weird
-chain chomp item (but i never saw it's effect)

The most important thing to me was the chain chomp item.

can this be explained? I mean, did Nintendo think chain chomp was a bad idea?

Mario Chat / SM64DS : some neat things...

« on: January 02, 2006, 01:08:28 PM »

I ussually play SM64DS for no reason and just fooled around... heres some neat things...

NOTE : you must use Mario if it dosent tell you otherwise

#1---Backflipping---
OBJECT : See how many backflips you can preform in a row
instructions : do a backflip, and keep holding R and the D-pad in the same derection, then as soon as you land press B again and you'll keep going. If you hear Mario say "ha-ha!" then you fail and have to start over

#2---Through the Tox Box---
OBJECT : (glitch) See yourself pass through a Tox Box!
instructions : go to the shifting sand land and to the quicksand of where the Tox Boxes are, then follow a Tox Box until it stops and you can jump in the side of it. Wait until the exact moment until it flips over, and then jump straight into it, you MUST do that at the same time for it to work. If successful you'll pass right though it!

#3---Crate deliverly!---
OBJECT : Carry a crate to a certain point when on a mission
instructions : go to the shifting sand land, pick the mission "shining atop the pyrimiad" (but it dosent really matter, you just cant do "in the talons of the big bird") and head to the shelter with the three crates.(this is your starting point) you then must pick up the crate, and carry it all the way the the top of the pyrmiad. If the crate breaks, gets lost, or sucked in quicksand, just go back to where you got the crate and start over

#4---Yoshi and the crazy box---
OBJECT : (glitch) do some weird things with a box!
instructions : get out Yoshi, then go to that one box with crazy faces on all sides (the one next to the pyrmaid) then while facing the dircetion to the EDGE of the course eat the box. Now head towards the edge of the map while bouncing. If you manage to hit the edge of the couse, Yoshi will slide right down the hillside normally and be back on his feet. EXCEPT the box is still is his mouth! if you spit out whatever was in your mouth, nothing will come out and the crazy box will be right where you got it! But if you dont spit it out, Yoshi will swallow, and instead of pooping out an egg, a explosion appears where you got the box!

#5---8 red coins V. 2.0---
OBJECT : collect 8 red coins under specail curcumstances!
instructions : go to the Tick tock clock and select the 8 red coin stage. MAKE SURE you dont stop the clock. now collect the 8 red coins whoever can do this... well good for them.

#6---Suicide Gooma---
OBJECT : (glitch) kill a goomba without even touching it!
instructions : go to the shifting sand land, then go to the entrance of the pyramaid. You will see a goomba with Wario's hat, and once you approach it, it will run away. try to make it so that it keeps running away towards an edge (if you're too close it will attack you) as its running toward the edge, wait about 10 seconds. if long enough, the Goomba will disappear!

#7---Whack-a-monty-mole---
OBJECT : kill as many monty moles as possible
instructions : go to the tall, tall, mountian and to the area of the monty moles. Kill as many as possible without leaving the area of the holes or dying.

#8---Butterfly catcher---
OBJECT : catch a specail butterfly for a 1-up
instructions : in the castles front yard, then go to the side of the castle near the water. now walk around until some butterflies flee out of danger. Now touch the butterflies (NOT with the touch screen!). if you touch the right one, you will be rewarded with a green mushroom.
