Cymon’s Games: Alleytris
It’s the 4th of July which where I’m from means celebrating America’s indepence from the motherland by jeapordizing our skin by going outside in the sun, jeopardizing our fitness by throwing some franks and hamburgers on the grill, and in case we aren’t living enough on the edge taking explosives (made in China) and blowing stuff up.
Cymon : Bombardment
It’s been a busy week for Cymon’s Games, so batten down the hatches for… Wait, did I mention I can now drop posts to RR? How could that have slipped my mind? Oh yeah, because That was the start of a long week.
Manic Miner - Silver Anniversary Edition
So, there was a game by a bloke called Smith. It was a simple little game that involved running around and jumping at things. Thing is, it got a bit of a, well, following…..
That game was, of course, Hyper Sports. Jonathan Smith eh? What a genius!
Cubes (Knot in 3D)
The truth is out there. In this episode of The X-Out files we discover a new remake of Knot In 3D. This game was already done justice very well indeed in the Retro Remakes 2006 Competition by Nenad under the of name “Counterclockwise”, but the new remake features online multi-player rather than playing against the computer. Gibber!
Cracking the WIP
Long hot summers eh? A nice cool beer by the pool, The barbecue sizzling away, some Genesis or Pink Floyd playing in the background…. It’s not ideal conditions to get off your fat butts and code is it?
Well, thanks to global warming, summers are PANTS these days, which is probably why we have some brand spanking new WIPs to play with!
Stunt Car Racer
Surely this is a game that needs no introduction? Geoff Crammond’s fall off the track simulator with added bonus crane was one of those games that seemed to have everyone sit up and go “oooh”. Funnily enough, every time someone announces a remake of the game people sit up and go “oooh”. Which makes it even more disturbing that despite many attempts, the current Stunt Car Racer finished remakes count currently sits at an incredibly tiny number… can you guess what that number is folks?
