john carpenter assault on Precinct 13? is that a movie? |
||||||||
|

just watched the video you Posted, i think the architecture between the ST and Amiga was alot closer that the 8 bits, i.e c64 and speccy, i know amiga had the paula audio chip which was great,. ST didnt get a blitter chip to do hardware sprite stuff until STe, ST had faster cpu just, think it might have been better for 3d games initially because of computation for 3d vectors |

elf by ocean so nice a game at one point you get to help someone who's stuck in the toilet |
||||||||
|

yeah good movie, watch the original though not the remake with denzil washington |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ocean games invariably meant quality, they used to get a load of licensed games as well which were often iffy, i will have to try elf looks good, ive seen it before but never played it |

andrew braybrook game, he did uridium, i never had a c64 until about 1995 when my mum bought me one from cash converters with loads of games, it was great, i really liked it, still got it under my old bedroom bed |

how old r u guys (im 32) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
33 think Freqy is older, |

I am only 14 years old.... I have been cruelly used and am an emaciated waif. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hypsterflake ever noticed in jedi. Lando says "that was too cloos" with reverb effect! it never used to have reverb....but now it does. they left it in. weird. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the original vhs version is like that also the special edition vhs is like that too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

you might be onto something there. ill get back to progammin in a bit... we didnt have any arcades because the law wasnt willing to decide between games/pinballs and the one-armed bandit style slotmachines. so all was considered gambling even if it was just to gain an extra life or free play. so no access to arcades for kids in germany and they didnt put up any games anywhere. all venues developed to be ugly adult slotmachine dens. im always terrified by the look of those places, remember when i went into one in my neighbourhood as a paperboy. years of cold cigarette smoke and ragged beer stenched carpets, sad alki figures hoping for a win. those places chummy or glory looking keep popping out of the ground everywhere. and while this is considered a major addiction, the law rather passes on restricting this one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my friend won over 100 on a slot machine....he put it all back in, face palm. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
weirdly enough yeah i did know about the "too cloos" reverb effect but i only noticed it when it was pointed out to me, its very strange as the more you listen to that bit the weirder it sounds |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also weird how he says cloos rather than close but i always liked that for some reason |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes i dont go back into arcades now, because they have reverted back to gambling dens like you said, with loads of slot machines and unsavory type of people hanging round. When arcades games where really big it was great cos it was mostly kids, its a shame the german government could differentiate, they were a test of skill, although some games did gobble coins very quickly and it was fairly expensive to stay in an arcade for any extensive period of time, yet if you went to some on holiday then you never really missed out on the magic of the arcade era and that something to be glad about |

|

i never got to go to this one |

that reverb is the same as the squid thing uses in the next scene. but ben burtt would have had automation, so? maybe its a joke? the reverb is to give the effect that all the rebels can here the squid thing commander. admiral or whatever gicve directions " all power on to the super star destroyer" and so forth. so perhaps the squid routed Landos com link to the entire fleet so they could enjoy the too cloos moment? |
||||||||

*mooment not moment. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
; P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haha! i like your logic, perhaps it was added emphasis so the audience knows just how cloos it was, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah lucas should have retconned it in the special editions to be a embarrassing fleet wide communications feedback, he might has well he buggered everything else up |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah even a 'squeal' whistle sound as it feedbacks in every headset across the entire fleet. with extra shots of the x wing fights going "aaaaaahhgg turn it down " and getting shot and destroyed by tie fighters all because of the feedback " too late....aaaggghh BOOOM" into a star detroyer bridge. people dying everywhere.. lol. but 'the too cloos' moment is classic cause it makes it all so real, the falcon crash was 'soo' cloos that he could not pronounce it right. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thinking about it its probably dubbed over him saying "fuck me" or something and there is a deleted scene where he goes in the back of the falcon to change his underpants |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol : ) there are actually some out takes of that secne. but man it was so unfair to release them. it was a tough day shooting. if you havent seen them...i wouldnt. kinda upsetting to see how a company can release such footage that can only upset the actors. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
line fluffing not right, butt to go out back to change pants, that should be released lol. |
||||||||

Freqy as i said im going to have a go of xenon 2 and report back on what i think. One game i recommend anyone play and you dont particularly have to be a star wars fan is TIE Fighter, i have the 1995 Collector's CD-ROM, with both addon packs, its fantastic, i play it in dox box |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

friend of mine talked about an amazing arcade in london, probably meant that one. feeling glad i had these fun times abroad for many reasons. and for the gaming and all over arcade experience it might have been all the sweeter, just being able to play with holiday feeling. i didnt know that many people were home programming or also cracking games back then. when i got my first pc at 12 i got a binder with basic commands. and i was to read it. i did read a few pages didnt understand anyhting and i instantly forgot about this, not knowing what great opportunity i had missed getting into coding. i remember being a little startled and upset when reading because i didnt know what i was supposed to read it for. i knew my way around dos quickly though and eventually got into writing batch files to create different startups for memory allocation. some years later with 14 i saw the first amiga at a mates home and a lot later i heard that he was copying code from a magazine to recreate a game at some point. also very glad about the casting choice of billy dee williams :) |

so much eaiser to learn code these days with youtubes and forums. imagine what the kids of today will doing in 10-15 years time. already so many yojng kids are doing incredible stuff. also...I was hoping Billy Dee Williams would be in the new film. maybe the next? peace. |

your games is awesome ijonspeches, you thrashed our high scores though. however, i will one day get a low latency pc and keyboard, monitor and i shall once again be no.1. lol it is alll about latency issues. nothing to do with my brain at all!! ;p have you a link to your game still? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow computer club, never seen this a s a kid but its reputation lives on. the first example how a computer would sort weights gives a good understanding how a computer program works... if you keep resting a finger each at up and down key, you can cut your latency in half btw!! |
