+Random Terrain Posted July 17, 2003 Author Share Posted July 17, 2003 How could I forget Krull? I know that had randomness and if it didn't have that stupid spider screen, it would have been a lot more fun to play. I wish there was an easy way to extract parts of games you hate and just leave in the good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Eidolon Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 I believe some the Starpath/Arcadia Supercharger games include randomness. For example: The locations of the "keys" and "holes" in Escape from the Mindmaster The effects of the magic items in Dragonstomper (1st load stage) Oddly enough, this ramdomness seems not to show up in my emulated versions of the game, but does on a real Atari. --The Eidolon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy_Dude Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Centipede seems pretty random Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candiru Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Isn't there a side-scrolling shooter (ok, maybe not truly side-scrolling before all you techies jump me ) that generates a somewhat random landscape and enemies? I seem to recall that being mentioned in an AA thread before. Maybe someone else remembers. I don't think anyone said Human Cannonball yet. That generates random values for wind and elevation.

rasty Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Space Treat Deluxe has random elements too Rasty.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rasty Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 I'd bet Slot Machine includes some degree of randomness as well Rasty.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Space Treat Deluxe has random elements too And Thrust too. I bet most of the games have some kind of randomnes. It's cheap, makes the gameplay less predictable and adds some extra fun. And I think it's easier to make a list of games without any randomnes (like Pitfall!).
