  1. The good old days by FuzzyDaddy · · Score: 4, Interesting · on Whatever Happened To The Joystick?
    One of my favorite games as a kid was Battlezone. It had two joysticks that only moved forwards and backwards. There was something about that huge, wireframe landscape that was really appealing. And the two handed control really worked well.

    Of course, the first really good non-joystick action/puzzle game I played was Lode Runner. You used the keyboard. The left hand controlled movement with six keys, and the right hand controlled actions with six keys. You rested your hand on the keyboard. It worked sort of like xevil. It was surprisingly easy to get the hang of.

    I think XEvil deserves a mention.

    Try XEvil. It's easy to play, low on bandwidth, and pretty fun.

  5. XEvil by solidox · · Score: 1 · on Multiplayer Linux Games

    one of the best platform games ever made
    XEvil
    basically a kill-everything platformer, but with some comedy value.
    works on both win/nix and dosn't require a fantastically good machine.
    networking etc etc etc.

    Play some XEvil. Very small footprint, fast download, easy to learn, and insanely fun to play with 3-8 people.

    XEvil
    XPilot

    Both of these games have ports for Win and *nix systems (started as *nix only.) Both of them have been around forever, but are endlessly entertaining (and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome provoking.)

    If you do wish to play games, stick with XEvil. Okay, it doesn't look like a movie, but it's very addictive.

  10. Oh I totally agree with you there by sips · · Score: 1 · on Are Virtual Worlds Worth It?

    Personally I think it's a travesty about online games. Basically any online game takes usually one of two forms if it's based on quake 3 or the like.

    1. A mud type of thing where you kill computer controlled minions and you eventually get more and more points without a plot this is mind numbing and eats up your time really quickly. I had a character who was working up into the early 40's level on a Daiku mud and just gave up for lack of enjoyment rather sad but it just didn't flow easily.

    2. Kill, kill, kill. Basically a supped version of Xevil where you kill others for hours at a time and never do any creativity there.

    I also hate what sqaure plans to do with Final Fantasy through 11 when they plan an online game which I speculate will eventually kill the series and considering their lack of fun games in the remainder (for me they just are flashy games that have their difficulty settings up a bit too much Vagrant Story comes to mind immediately) will probably convince me to leave the square bandwagon.

    Just put a fog generator around the Hummingbird and you have Lakitu's cloud from the Mario games.

    The personal chopper from the article has also appeared in a video game: try XEvil ($20 shareware for Win9x and X11).
