Slashdot Mirror

Now, most of you "l33t c0unt73rs7r1k3 d00ds" out there could probably care less that Mame(mighty mighty Mame), runs on Bill's little black-and-translucent-green baby. You'll just go back to your pansy girl game of Counterstrike, secure in knowing that you'll never put money into the Beast From Redmond's coffers, that you'll never wrap your greasy, sweaty hands, hands that still reek of smegma from your last session of furious masturbation to shoddily rendered Sailor Moon animated .gifs... No, you'll never wrap those hands around the meaty, massive, beautiful Xbox controller. No, you'll just go back to bitching about snipers and wall hacks.

This bitter, dissafected recluse, on the other hand shall be clamoring for an Xbox. For you, little whitebread Halflife-playing suburban pinko, will never know the utter joy that I, and folks like myself will be partaking in when we boot up the Moon Rangor, Monkey Donkey or Photograph Boy rom images.

You folks may be content with playing you Halo, and your Munch's Oddysee, or even the purile Counterstrike, but as for me, baby. As for me, I'll find my evenings curled up in front of a roaring, sparking space heater, Xbox controller in hand, pounding the mortal fuck through the Insane Worrier...

I bid you, fellow Slashbots, a warm farewell...

Then you need to check out Overclocked ReMix. There are some excellent game remixes available. Right now the downloads are limited to certain hours (bandwidth issues) unless you use a mirror. It's really cool to hear how creative people can be with the old game tunes you grew up playing.

http://remix.overclocked.org

A ton of old NES-era games remixed with new instrumentation and some downright questionable rescoring.

Fun memories, if nothing else.

Most of the later Squaresoft rpgs were released with full soundtracks, as well, most of which you can probably find on ebay.

95% of all the music on my CDs is legally free for download over the internet, and the rest is stuff that you couldn't find on a commercial CD if you tried, because it is released by the original artist/remixer over Napster, WinMX, etc. While I have in my posession some pirated music, a lot of the stuff I got off of Napster was 100% legal in one way or another (example: my mp3 of Weird Al's Amish Paradise is legal because I had the tape and not the CD at the time, thus I couldn't [easily and with comparable quality] rip my own MP3 to put on my comp. example2: The Tetris Techno Remix that starts with a synth-voice saying "Let's play some Tetris motherfucker" is, last I checked, not a commercial song. Example3: pulse120's red planet is free for download at his mp3.com artist page) In other words, my use of Napster has largely not detracted from CD sales, and yet the RIAA doesn't let me use it to get free music that I couldn't find anywhere else. Leave it to the people in power to screw everyone else over.

If you want to learn OpenGL, your next stop should be NeHe's tutorials on Gamedev.Net.

http://nehe.gamedev.net/

GameDev itself is helpful...

http://www.gamedev.net/

As is Flipcode...

http://www.flipcode.com/

If you're interested in writing a good game, you should learn from those that came before you. Check them out using emulators from Zophar's Domain...

http://www.zophar.net/

Also, no game developer worth his salt can ignore the virtual treasure trove of information archived at GamaSutra...

http://www.gamasutra.com/

And finally, you'll want some cool free video game tunes to listen to while you code. The two best sites for video game remixes are Bart Klepka's remixes and Remix at Overclocked.org:

Go to it. I hope to play your games soon.

I doubt it...but it does still crack me up. Anyway, the game is called BattleRangers, and I found the image zanyvg.overclocked.org. Most of the stuff featured there is boring but I should give credit since that's where I stole the image from myself. I put the image on my roommate's computer so I could get a shorter url that would fit within the 120 char sig limit.

No. I first got the image from zanyvg.overclocked.org (the game is called Battlerangers) and I've been cracking up about it ever since.

Apparently a line of games from SNK have been bad enough in translating english to lead to the term SNK-glish being coined. This was all news to me.

---

It's from the intro sequence of an old SNES game called Zero Wing, where all the english is apparently the result of a horrible mistranslation job.

You can see an animated gif of the intro sequence here.

This and other goofy statements come from the Sega Genesis port of a Toaplan shooter known as Zero Wing. More information can be found here, here and here.

Here. It's in Quicktime.

From Zero Wing, to be precise. See http://zanyvg.overclocked.org/zerowing/index.html.
