Featured Games and Reviews

crank · Post by **crank** » Sat Apr 05, 2003 6:08 pm

Featured Games is up and running (finally). We have a good list of games that we haven't reviewed yet, but need YOUR suggestions for Featured Games. What games do you think would draw new ZZTers? Which games revolutionized the program? Which ones influenced you the most?

Moreover, we have a grande total of three reviewers for Featured Games. If you're interested, we need you.

Keep making good ZZT games--you could see yours on the list!

Unannounced and locked by God (05/11/04) due to lack of interest; the topic will be re-opened at a later stage.

I'd be interested, if I can. But as for some well deserving featured games:

Burger Joint
November Eve
Darkseekr
Respite
ESP

these are the first that come to mind.

Oh, yeah, now you can search the database for Featured Games. I'm working on direct links to the reviews at the moment.

I would go back and choose all of the old Games of the Month from za to be featured.

OH NO DRAGON WOODS GOT MADE INTO A FEATURED GAME

<B>WHY DOES GOD HATE ME</B>

Uh anyway I may as well contribute to this thread.

Demon Pogie and the Forest of Bleagh 3 - because it's got more text than ESP, it's utterly bizarre and it has too many references to 80's thrash metal.

Dungeon Master's Galley/Asmodeus - because psyche ripped these games off wholesale.

Overflow - Luke Drelick may be a COCK but this game is cute

Warlord's Temple
Fury Spell
And The Forests Will Echo With Laughter
Defender of Castle Sin
Indiana Jones and the Lost Crusaders

And I'll write reviews this time and I SWEAR I'LL ACTUALLY DO IT THIS TIME AND NOT FORGET ABOUT IT HONEST

We need an IRC channel or AIM chatroom or some medium in which all the reviewers can contact each other.. I may make a forum for it.

Keep the submissions coming, guys!

Featured Games makes me smile. But I still think Game of the Month should come back.

I suggest Quest for Glory and any game with 'dark' or '!' in the title.

Why not use your l337 scripting powers to make it so every top scoring game that has been there for a set amount of time (to protect against games with only one vote of 5/5) is a featured game?

crank · Post by **crank** » Mon Apr 07, 2003 12:30 pm

Because there are some games that we don't agree with at all--and there is the potential for someone to review a game twice just to get it switched over to the category Featured Games. In addition, we need screenshots and staff reviews, which don't pop up themselves.
