It was E.T. And it was so boring. Oh, and thanks! Glad to be here. -Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomberman94 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 55 minutes ago, Thomas Jentzsch said: What are you missing? Game is perfect as is just new level designs would be enough! Maybe (!) new features like: - wind from left or right in some areas - new/other enemies with faster/slower shots - targets that follow you and must be shot - laser barrier or other barriers that must be shot/deactivated to pass by Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even after 25 years, I remember very well that defining the levels in my code was a pain in the ass. So this is quite unlikely to happen. 24 minutes ago, Bomberman94 said: Maybe (!) new features like: - wind from left or right in some areas - new/other enemies with faster/slower shots - targets that follow you and must be shot - laser barrier or other barriers that must be shot/deactivated to pass by You want to make the game even harder???

Big Player Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I was wondering if you had created a new contest that was so complex, that while testing it out you got lost for 12 - 15 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's everybody doing? -Ben a.k.a. PifallHarry I find myself in a similar situation. I've finally landed a teaching job that provides a decent work/life balance... or I've gotten better at saying "no". One of the two. Glad you're well. Man - has it really been 20 odd years since the days of pirate threads, the great "coming together" of digital press and atariage, and good times together at Philly Classic? Be well - blessings and all good things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Player! Remember dominating the Warlords cocktail at Philly Classic with Stan & PitfallAmie? That was a great show. Still have my "Polo" cartridge that was released there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had a drink that you thought was too sweet and the server thought you were trying to get a free drink from them. Not sure if it was a daiquiri or a margarita though, my memory isn't that good.
