I only JUST closed the competition, so send it to me via e-mail and it'll be fine.

EDIT: Commodore submitted via e-mail.

Well, I submitted within time, and it sucks.

Thanks for the runtime errors. I ended up reliably crashing the game every time.

I made a bit of my game and then got bored.

Oh well, maybe next time...

So when are the awards going to be out?

Post by **TTTPPP** » Tue Nov 16, 2004 5:55 pm

Normally it takes weeks for the judging to get done. Although *normally* the downloads aren't up yet (respect to MadTom).

Last weekend was probably the second worst weekend it could have possibly been, this half of the year. Thus I did not get an entry even started.

Yeah, I'd have to say:

I woulda made an entry, but I made that 72hozzt bubble butt about half a year before this contest took place... I void that out and let everyone else go over..

1st Hazard a tale of courageous defiance against a tyrannical ruler... ...not
9.69696969696969/10 - Great accurate storytelling, great outlook, great ending. We don't know what happens.. (note it starts on the wrong board so save it on the board labeled "one" the first)

2nd Kjorteo Colosseum
9.56356/10 - Oh wow, this one suprised me. Hadn't even heard of the guy, but he managed to make an rpg-ish game i didn't hate off the bat.. This is amazing. I like dis stuff. It's my friend. Also, we've got a Castlevania: Symphony of the Night player here

3rd Bummy - Chaos in the Bummy
9.2342674824/10 Oh god, this is a flat-out amazing autobiography. The missions, the visions, the calling people fat. GENIUS.

4th TTTPPP Court Bouillon
8.57/10 Man, this one had a nice story and depressed me and had some crazy zaniness in it... I died a few times in a flashback, man! a flashback!!! an orally presented story. Okay, that's amazing Well presented, genius.

5th Oof Special Adventure
7.82412424/10 Yes, I loved this one. A little short and inconclusive, but the shop was well presented. It gave me this warm callamity.

6th Juur Popstar
7.3535355325/10 I was befriended with this game because it was mystical and involved some funny looking i thing as a friend.

7th Nixon - Flee
7.237589237598/10Oh god i'm runnin im runnin i love sidescrollers and this one was just chaotic.... oh man.. i liked it! I liked hangin with the fish too!!

8th Groovytastic Sam - Festo
7.1453285/10 - Everyone knows the last 2 boards were humor oriented and nothing else, just like what piman and majick said when they put code red in their game. It's harmless fun. This game was funny.. The board didn't link, but I just made an object that gave me whatever health i had and ammo and went to the next.. the ending is suprising.. you'll never believe it. This game gets special props because he included everything everyone wanted just about.

9th Snorb - Two-Pack
6.13241825/10 I didn't really grasp the meaning of the second of the two pack, but I drank it and it was good. It was a 40.. It made me drunk. You shoulda kept going on that first game though, THE POWER OF LOVE.. or THE POWER OF CGA.. God, I loved that.. more of that and I woulda been hooked.

10th. SKC - Oneday
4.532853285/10I had no idea what was going on or what I was doing, but I did it. and I don't want my imagination to be left.. I wanna know what's happens.. I wann see the principal being seduced.. i... ehh whatever.

11th. Xnog - Madtom Smells
2.875732895/10 I expected so much more from you and demand taht you finish this game in your spare time with more effort this time. I'd have to say pretty title screen, but it wasn't represented right and needs a serious increase in content.

12th. Ando - Nadir 0wnz all of u lil' bitches!!!
1.86493686 I expected more from you too. Like an autobiography. The game didn't go anywhere or mean much.

Well that's about it. Also that exact weekend I worked on the commodore demo. If I was signed up I woulda submitted that as something I reflect on, but this was a serious thing that oculdn't be altered at all.

Anyway, good day... Thanks everyon for participating. These are my results.. If only Dos submitted his great work, I woulda given him 9th .. Till next time, Take care of yourselves, and eachother

SERIOUS TIME

Yeah, I know. But I'm just not that good with limited time. I don't regret it, though, because it taught me that in order for me to make a good quality game, that I'm going to need a lot more than a few days. I didn't know that before I entered this contest. Anyway, I'm sorry that I disappointed you. Maybe my next game will be good. I think that it will.

END SERIOUS TIME

wait wait wait

you spent the entire weekend on that?

I thought you made it in like an hour just to say you entered.

Ando · Post by **Ando** » Tue Nov 16, 2004 10:40 pm

Well it took a whole weekend to come up with an IDEA.

But by the end of the weekend I found that I couldn't come up with one so I made a quick piece of shit.

R.S.B. won't be like that, though. It's already decent enough. If I knew how to post pictures of it here, I would, but I don't so I can't.

Put it in windowed mode, PrtScn, crop everything but the ZZT window in Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro or whatever your favorite editor is.

Note that ZZT looks like ass in windowed mode so your screenshots will all be ugly. Even I have not figured out how to solve that problem.

Have you tried Screen Thief?

519 · Post by **519** » Wed Nov 17, 2004 12:15 am

Ctrl - Alt - PrintScreen copies the current active window, not the whole thing, to clipboard for pasting in something.

Post by **Dr. Dos** » Wed Nov 17, 2004 1:07 am

I judged all the games on the page for them

so send me any other games <s>because otherwise kjorteo totally won and he becomes a hero</s>
