Antneed Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 http://www.digitpress.com/archives/cc_entity.htm Another 'new' 2600 game at CGE. Don't think I've read about this one on AA. Looks cool..... Ant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 Joe was telling me about this a couple of months back. It sounds ... weird. It was intended to be based on the movie of the same name and released by 20th Century Fox. Perhaps the rather mature subject of the film put them off? Dunno, but the theme of the game is certainly change from that of the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 Yeah I was doing research on the movie and game for my webpage, and they are very different. I got to play it for a few minutes at PC and while it's not bad, it's not great either. Basically you just move walls towards the center of the screen and force the bouncing "Entity" up another level. It gets kinda boring fast. However I didn't spend much time with it, maybe it gets better later on? Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 do you have anything up on your page about entity yet, tempest? I started to do a page, but I hoestly didn't play it enough to get a good feel for the game so I decided to wait until I play it at CGE. Expect a full report in a few weeks.

Jess Ragan Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 "i look forward to adding some more to my collection sure seems like there are a TON of fox protos out there." Godzilla's right, you know. Why, just look at this prototype I found at a local flea market. Sometimes I think that Fox is STILL making these games! JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snider-man Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Now, would you use the LEFT joystick? I thought you'd use the RIGHT one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess Ragan Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 D'oh! You're right... no pun intended, of course. I was working with Microsoft Paint so there wasn't a lot I could do with that hack. Maybe I'll take it home and polish it up a bit... JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaXpress Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Thsi game baffles me. The movie was the last film I would have expected to become a game, it was psychosexual schlock for those with rape fantasies involving ghosts. The movie was a flop. I'm guessing that this game was created first then an excuse found to tie it in with any property at all. What were the marketers thinking? We have a dog of a movie featuring a woman pretending to be raped by an invisible man so let's sell it to the Atari kids. And the game will bear no resemlance to the movie in style, images, or anything at all. They might as well have re-titled Beanie Bopper as Aliens and Turmoil as My Dinner With Andre.

+Random Terrain Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 That thing looks like the Glaive from Krull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMila75 Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Now, would you use the LEFT joystick? I thought you'd use the RIGHT one! Hey, at least they're not pretending it's so "fair and balanced" that it's compatible with either joystick OR paddles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, this *is* the same game company that brought us "Porkys" and "Revenge of the Beefsteak Tomatos" based on "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes." Neither of these are exactly high-falutin' pieces of art. (And Porkys was - in some ways - worse than The Entity - but not by much....)
