Y5:W21 – One Of These

Or to give it it’s full name, “One of These Will Kill You!”.
This week’s game is a semi-remake of sorts, but one which feels a little more complete than the original version.

Originally created as a PlayMyCode game, this version adds bonuses, along with some more obvious gameplay mechanics.
You should be able to follow along, this time around!

SpikeDislike2 v1.3

SpikeDislike2 has just had a nice big update on the iOS AppStore, and I’m now thinking about what to add next, so I figured I’d make a nice rambling blog about it.

That’s what this is!!

You can buy SpikeDislike2 in the AppStore! It’s nice and cheap, and full of lovely juicy stuff!

AGameAWeek Gold – Scorched Tanks Test

AGameAWeek Gold takes a look at the games that I’ve previously released on this day in history.

It’s basically filler material!
But that’s ok, because it’s usually a nice trip down memory lane.

AGameAWeek Gold – RetroRaider

AGameAWeek Gold looks back through the many many many games of the past, and digs out old games that I’ve previously released on this day in history.
Today’s is a bit of an odd co-incidence.

In stores, today, is GamesTM Issue 135, and in the Retro section is a lovingly crafted Demakes article, all about taking modern games and porting them to older systems. (They include a single screenshot of Spike C64 Dislike, and not much else about it at all.. hmmm.. But they do have a little interview with @Nyarluu about Forget-Me-Not, so that makes up for it!)

Although today’s AGameAWeek Gold game isn’t technically running on an older system, it is very much a game in the mold of a Demake, and could probably work pretty well if someone out there dared to do a proper old-system edition of it..


2008 – RetroRaider

I can’t believe that this game is already five years old!
FIVE!!
Yikes!

The game runs piss-poor slow on my laptop. :( I’m guessing the screen scaling technique is part of the problem, there, along with Windows 7 being too high-tech for it!! Not sure. Grrr.!

If it runs, though, it runs nicely, and plays quite well, too.
There’s also a real-time level editor included, too, which is fun to play about with.

You can Download RetroRaider here. It’s a cracking game, if your system can run it well enough :D

If you can’t get it to run nice and smoothly, you can See RetroRaider running well here, in ChaoticLaw’s recent YouTube Play video!

If you’re still desperate for some RetroRaiding fun, You can Download RetroRaiderII here which is from 2010, and runs a bit smoother on my laptop, as well as being playable in Linux, or on a Mac! Woot!

Y5:W20 – Idigidragon Returns

A somewhat simple remake, this week, as I couldn’t even be bothered to add anything new into the mix.
To be honest, this is one of those “Desperately trying to keep up a rate of AGameAWeek” games!

It’s fun, though, and now works lovely on an Android device (assuming your Android device of choice plays nicely with it!)

JNK Fanfare

Googling for yourself rarely comes up with anything quite as fun as this!

It seems that YouTuber “Chaoticlaw” (and/or “YetAnotherLaw”) has decided to start a series of “Let’s Play” videos aimed right at me, and my games!!
Play JNK : Playlist

Each week, Chaoticlaw plucks a random game from my archive, and gives it a play!
He’s also concurrently playing through Frogatto, Metroid Fusion and FTL.

Assuming he only picks the cream of the crop, I’d say he could probably keep that going for at least a year, so, yeah.. Probably more than enough content to keep the YouTube Watchers happy!

Oddly enough, his most viewed video so far is Storm of Idigidragon, which is co-incidentally the exact game I’ve chosen to remake this week!! Bizarre!! Look out for that, tomorrow!

Three cheers to ChaoticLaw for setting up this lovely series, and here’s hoping he can get everything working again, soon!
You can Visit Chaotic Law’s Blog here.

AGameAWeek Gold – Splat 2000!

Each day, AGameAWeek Gold takes a look through the archive, to dig up any games that I’ve previously released on this day in history.

Sometimes they’re fantastic.
Other times they’re garbage.

Let’s have a look at today’s, shall we!?
