Sidcrowe's New FB2 Poll

[sku_u]

In the upcoming FB2 Yar's Return (Star Castle), the game has been made more difficult than Yar's Revenge in some ways. One of the ways is not letting Yar wrap around the playfield. Yar's Return is a 2600 sequel to the great Yar's Revenge, and the completion of its original intent, which is arcade Star Castle.

In both Star Castle and Yar's Revenge, the player can wrap around the playfield. For over 20 years, we've been wrapping the screens of both Yar's Revenge and Star Castle. If Yar can't wrap in Yar's Return, is it a big deal to you? Should Yar be able to wrap?

[sidcrowe]

I just wanna say again that I love the FB2 and appreciate all the wicked work Curt has done. I would just like to have an option for Yar to wrap in the new game, like he did in the first Yar's game, and did in his inspiration, Star Castle

A game is what it is. Yar's return is already a rather different game from either the first Yar or Star Castle, so gameplay is what you make of it, and there's not really a "tradition" that needs to be followed.

 

That said, if it were my decision (and it ain't), I'd let it be a selectable option, either by game variations or difficulty switches.

With the code freeze coming up in one week, it may be difficult to change what has already been implemented within that time frame. Then again, I haven't looked at (or understand yet) the code myself...

I vote yes for the "Rapping Yar". To me it wouldn't be Yar if he can't rap.

 

Now my name's Yar, and I'm here to say, that if I can't rap then that's just gay! Word!

Everyone is preparing for the end of the world. They have no time for your silly poll. Soon a giant asteroid will hit the earth or bombs will fall from the sky or global warming will cause us all to instantly freeze to death or cow farts will peel back the ozone layer or . . .

[Big Player]

Sorry, I think the view tally is skewed because I keep checking back to see if I continue to be the only one who voted for no wrap.

Uh, check your post count there, chief

 

The sentiments "get a life," "grow up," or "get serious," have zero meaning here. It was also my first poll, and unlike so many other polls around here, mine has maybe a *bit* of a chance to influence something for real

 

I'm surprised by your comments. People in glass houses, man

[+Random Terrain]

Oh, I forgot to put smiley faces and dancing clowns. The things people take seriously around here can be amazing sometimes.

[sidcrowe]

You seemed angry

 

If it was all in fun, no offense intended

 

My name is Yar I like to wrap

If I was Canadian I'd be full of sap

 

I wrapped in Revenge, I'd wrap in Castle

If I was in WWE, I'd wrap while I rassle

 

There may be a tiny little chance

That with this poll I'll be able to dance

 

If not this time, then maybe in 3

I'm a crazy bug and I'm gonna be free

Hee hee

Solidifies the programs deep inside

 

Thanks for voting and rapping too

And for agreeing to buy the FB2

[Chickybaby]

Oddly, we pre-ordered the FB2, lol, a while back.

[sidcrowe]

Looks like the voters wanted Yar to wrap. Maybe an option on FB3
