I was wondering idly yesterday about whether a version of the original first person shooter (yes, I realize it wasn’t the first but it was the first successful one), Wolfenstein 3D had ever been ported to the mac. It turns out that two years after the pc version, in 1994, a mac version was released. [...]

I previously wrote about doom and mame being my gaming mainstays on the eee before it became a server. Since they are both available for mac, I was thinking about setting them up on the wind. But since the wind is a little beefier than the eee, I wondered about quake? Sure enough, there is an [...] Well, I finally finished playing World of Goo. The fact it took so long is no reflection on the quality of the game. When the weather’s nice, I simply don’t play games at all. But now that winter’s back… This cnet article on 20 netbook playable games was great although how they omitted WoG is beyond [...] I was reading the Globe & Mail article on the year in gaming and in particular, the Top 10 and was intrigued by the description of World of Goo: Developed by a pair of ex-EA employees, this physics-based puzzler has players manipulating stretchy balls of goo to create complex towers, bridges, and other structures in an [...] Dale pointed out the speed with which a game based on this incident appeared. However, I found the object of that game to be unsatisfying. Shooting down the shoes before they hit the potus? C’mon. You can do better than that. These three were my favourites where you are the shoe thrower: http://www.kroma.no/2008/bushgame/ Once I realized that if I enabled cheats in Tempest, I could skip to arbitrary levels, I ended up creating a full set of 16 levels for the game. The remaining ones are shown below. My favourite of the bunch is the final level which is pretty damn difficult (as a final level should be). You can [...] I spent some time yesterday messing around with TempEd. Once you get the hang of it, it’s pretty easy to use. I created the 9 levels shown below. I’ll probably only do a couple more since I don’t think I’ve made it beyond level 11. My favourites so far? Level 4 is just a circle which [...] Are you sick of these cute “eee” post titles? Yeah, me too. In addition to the Doomsday engine, I now also have xmame set up on the eee so I can play my favourite vintage arcade games, specifically Arkanoid, Galaga and most of all, Tempest! It’s working pretty well but it took some doing [...] As I mentioned previously, I was planning on adding an sdhc card to my eee and making it part of the unionfs filesystem. I have now done so…the screenshot shows the output of the df command. So I have essentially turned my 2gb eee into a 10gb eee. I followed the instructions in post [...] You certainly wouldn’t follow this blog for up-to-date game reviews. Everything I tell you about will be at least a year or two out of date! I never did finish God of War. I made it a good chunk of the way through and I may yet finish it. Of course, it does [...] |
