]]> 17 Jan 2007 01:27:17 Rampage World Tour Rampage World Tour was a reinvention of the original arcade classic; created for Midway Mfg. by the original designers, Jeff Nauman and Brian Colin and the crew at Game Refuge Inc.

The game follows George Lizzy and Ralph as they smash and fight their way through hundreds of cities around the Globe. This update game added dimension to the characters andadvanced the storyline, but stayed true to the user-friendly "there's no wrong way to play it" gameplay mechanic of the original.

Though incredibly violent, the game treats all interaction with a cartoony, blood-free, tongue-in-cheek approach that keeps the action light-hearted and appealing to players of all ages.

This "Sequal" has spun off a number of additional "Rampages" on a number of platforms .. but many feel that RWT was the best of the lot.

]]> 27 Nov 2006 03:12:42 Joust Joust's simple controls, and the fact that it was one of the few games two players could play together, helped make this arcade game a hit.

You play a knight mounted on an ostrich. You must use your lance to joust against wave after wave of enemies. The only controls you have are to flap your wings and to move left and right, making it quite easy to get into the game. You may defeat an opponent by colliding with them with your lance higher than theirs.

When you beat an enemy, they drop an egg. If you let it hatch by not collecting it, it will spawn a tougher enemy than the one who dropped the egg.

Other dangers include a lava pit at the bottom of the screen, a lava troll which tries to drag you into the lava pit, and a very tough-to-beat pterodactyl which appears if you take too long on a level.

Designer: John Newcomer
Released: 1982
]]> 13 May 2007 09:11:30 ThinkTanks

Charge in, take aim and take off!


ThinkTanks is a tank combat game designed to be a blast for the new and experienced gamer alike with lighthearted, fast paced pandemonium. Either battling against brain-hungry bots in solo play or going head-to-head against others online, ThinkTanks has something for everyone.

Solo Play


You find yourself in a ThinkTank... just one of many brain slaves imprisoned by Alien Mind Control-- only you have managed to escape their brain rays. But the moment you are free, you are besieged on all sides by insane bot-tanks. You must destroy or be destroyed and keep on your toes at all times. Luckily you can collect powerups that give you wacky weapons to help you stay alive. As you progress through each level, the bot tanks get smarter, stronger and crazier as Alien Mind Control reprograms the bot tanks to match your wits. Your goal is to beat the bosses, then rescue your brain-brethren and continue the fight on other worlds.

Quickplay Battle Mode


Upon entering, you are immediately engaged by heavy artillery. This is no-holds-barred warfare and to the victor go the points. You can be catapulted or thrust in any direction by rolling over the boost and jump pads to escape attack or rush the enemy. The lush, green hills are scattered with bots on the warpath, bots choking in their own smoke, floating orbs with special powers and ammunition, boulders, trees, AND the dreaded pit of doom. The goal here is to keep your brain intact, and triumph over bots of every shape, size, speed and skill.

Scrum


You are cast into a veritable feeding frenzy of tanks. You need to simultaneously track the position of your tank relative to the scrum ball using your radarscope, while navigating your tank along the bumpy terrain. If you are quick enough to pick up the ball yourself, you must make a mad dash to the goal, evading the thirsty pack of mad bots heavy on your trail. You win by capturing the most scrum balls in the allotted time.

Both On-line BattleMode and Scrum games have team-play variants and online chat that allow players to play together cooperatively.

]]> 09 Jan 2007 08:02:16 Dig Dug Dig Dug is an arcade game released by Namco in 1982. A popular game based on a simple concept, it was also available as a home video game available on many consoles, and had many arcade and home clones. Dig Dug runs on Namco Galaga hardware.

The objective of Dig Dug is to eliminate underground-dwelling monsters. This can be done by inflating them until they pop or by dropping rocks on them. There are two kinds of enemies in the game: Pookas are round red monsters who look like tomatoes wearing yellow goggles, and Fygars; green dragons who can breathe fire. The player's character is Dig Dug, dressed in white and blue who can make tunnels. Dig Dug is killed if he is caught by a monster, burned by a Fygar's fire, or crushed by a rock.

It takes four 'pumps' with the player's action button to inflate a monster to popping. If left partially inflated, the monster will deflate and recover after a few seconds, but half-inflating is a useful way to stun an enemy, especially to make sure it remains in the path of a falling rock.

The monsters normally crawl through the tunnels in the dirt but they can turn into ghostly-eyes and travel slowly through the dirt.
]]> 01 Feb 2007 10:09:36 Gundown Gundown an oldschool arcade game at heart, where you must obliterate every soldier, ship, motorcycle or pixel that moves by controlling your artillery contraption. Use upgrades between rounds to beef up your firepower. Addictive!

Liberally taking aspects from popular arcade games like Space Invaders and the likes, Gundown borrows the similar gamestyle but adds in its own unique style of elements, such as: angled shots which require more tactic on the player's behalf, firepower upgrades to leave more destruction, and plenty of particle effects to keep the player's bloodlust at bay. :)

Controls are simple to use, and the gameplay is simple to grasp. Gundown is a game that is simple enough to get used to, but offers a continually challenge experience.

]]> 23 Jan 2007 12:53:58 PixelShips [from official pixelships page]

The Story Behind PixelShips:

In the year 2049, a new toy was invented to bridge the generation gap, uniting people of all ages together in friendly competition: PixelShips. Each ship is designed to meet specialized standards so that no matter how young or old you are you can enjoy them just the same.

Most PixelShips are only a foot or two long and are flown using special devices called PICCs, or PixelShip Interface Command Consoles. The consoles have two joysticks and six buttons on each stick and can interface with any ship that has been registered into it. Some PICCs also have LCD displays so that you don't need a TV to see what your PixelShip sees while it flies.

Each PixelShip uses batteries, just like any other toy, though some use Micro-Reactors instead and are fueled at special facilities so that childeren cannot actually access the fuel inside. They are also designed out of segments held together by micro-magnets. When the ship is "destroyed" in combat, its micro-magnets disengage and the ship flies apart into its seperate segments, each still carrying a residual charge from the ship's anti-gravity unit. If all of the segments are then tagged by another PixelShip, that collector may then, under official guidelines, possess the ship if he so desires.

Classic PixelShips takes place in the year 2076 when a very secretive PixelShip has supposedly been built. Your task is to collect all 160 known PixelShips by earning them through campaign battles at the arena. Afterwards, you will be given access to a special campaign where you may earn this unique and unheard of PixelShip.

]]> 30 Jan 2007 03:44:44 Flying Invaders From the classics is born yet another clone!

The Flying Invaders is a free space invaders (tm) clone, but there is more, this clone comes complete with source!

Thats right, you can download not only a playable game, but the source code to see how to make the game yourself!

I wrote this game for beginners using Aurora who wanted to know how to use 3d and 2d together to make something unique, but as a challenge, I used the 2d surface that one would normally use for the HUD to place the game on, and the backdrop is a rotating sun, with an orbiting planet that has its very own moon!

I left alot of features out of the game so that others who are learning could add in what could already be there, this was to reduce the complexity of the code since the target audience in mind was new game developers!

This was written in Aurora, so you would need to get a demo version of Aurora and once you load the project, simply follow the instructions for creating a BASS.Lib file and then compile away!

]]> 03 Mar 2007 07:10:17 Asteroids Story:

At 0400 hours, we received confirmation from NASA that an asteroid field larger than any recorded in the history of civilization is headed for a direct collision course with Earth. If just one of these asteroids were to hit Earth's surface, the impact would measure at approximately 50 megatons - 4,000 times the explosive power of the fission bomb used on Hiroshima.

Our entire military fleet is currently at war with the Martians and, as fate would have it, the asteroid field is too far away from Mars to reassign a Commander. You are the only armed ship within reach of the field.

Your mission is simple: Eliminate all asteroids. Our information sources believe gravitational forces have banded the asteroid field into eight waves. This will provide time between each wave to repair your ship.

Scientific analysis has shown the asteroids' outer shells are coated in almandine carconite, a rare, highly explosive mineral which is normally only safe at extremely low temperatures. This means a single shot from a laser turret will suffice to blow the asteroid into pieces, but be warned! The explosion will be so large that you are advised to stay well back. A severe explosion could interfere with your guidance systems, or ultimately obliterate your ship.

The entire fate of the world rests in your hands. Good luck.

Intergalactic chickens invaded Earth, seeking revenge for the oppression of their earthly brethren. They came out of nowhere, and everywhere. It was only you who managed to repel the invasion, and saved humanity from an eternity of servitude.

But it isn't over yet. Once more, it's time to don your teflon-coated, egg-repulsing helmet and fight for our ancestral right to omelettes. Only you can make a difference. Will you succeed? Will the future of chicken burgers be secure? Or will you end up as part of the menu in a galactic chicken restaurant?
]]> 21 Feb 2007 10:11:09 Tank Brigade Well, after quite a bit of work on JumpStart and one of its demos Tank Brigade I have decided to release the demo as a full working game. Basically its a single level game built around JumpStart. The Map to play on is randomly selected from a set list (currently 4 maps) and play exists of you trying to destroy all of the enemies on the screen. Some maps are generated procedurely and some are hard coded.

In the relased version sound is supported (turned off by default, turn it on in the options screen). I'll warn you now that the sound can get a bit annoing. Luckily you can press escape, go to options, turn it off, back, and resume game.

Graphics are completely from SpriteLib GPL. If anyone wants to take the time to create real graphics for the game I'd be happy to add them in and add on a credits screen.

This game has many features as well:

- 12 playable characters (start with 1, 11 are unlockable).
- 6 playable modes (start with 3, the other 3 are unlockable). The modes are: Classic, Quick-Play, Subtle Knife, Quick-Knife, Rescue (the only mode where you can unlock characters), and Quick-Rescue.
- Cool highscores lists; one for each mode
- Online highscores; found here: http://www.biancagames.com/scores/
- 2 player mode like the old pac-man machines; lose a life and it is the other player's turn. The only modes playable in 2 player are Classic and Subtle Knife....
- In Subtle Knife and Quick-Knife, you get to have a pokemon for a daemon. What pokemon you have depends on which character you choose to play as.
- The pokemon daemons say their corresponding pokemon cries, and they even sound fainted when they die just like they do in the actual pokemon games.
- If you are wondering, the boss's name is Bob.
- Help for this game, which is also accessable from the game's main menu, can be found here: http://biancagames.com/bobanoid_help.html
- The two characters from my other game, Space La Shae 2, are featured in this game.


Update Dec 22 2006 9:05 PM
As of right now, the game has been changed slightly.
I felt that I had made rescue mode too easy. So instead of no daemon in rescue mode and 1 life, it's yes daemon and 5 lives (without a daemon, rescue mode = easy as pie, even with 1 life, trust me).
The download link is still the same, so download again for the fixed version, the zip file has the same name but the exe inside doesn't.
Also due to this the online highscores for both Rescue and Quick Rescue have been cleared....
I tested this new version for the most part, so there should be no errors, but in the outside chance you get one, please report it.
