Truck Dismount One-Ups Stair Dismount
The Herman writes "The free Stair Dismount game from tAAt for the PC was a big underground hit, and now there's a even better sequel: Truck Dismount.
This program does a full-body crash simulation, with the crash-test dummy being smashed into a wall with a truck this time round." This sequel is almost more fun than the much-loved original, if that's even possible.
Then why has hardly anybody ever heard of it? There are very, very few freeware games that ever become popular.
:)
The demo scene is rather unknown to most win pc users. But us old Amiga users still keep track of the scene and the demo parties around the US.
What they forget to say, is Dismount Truck by rekkaturvat is a entry in the Assembly 03 gamedev compo.
BTW, if want to learn more about the scene, check out www.scene.org for news, and a good scene internet radio. Check out the demos and music.
BBL, gotta load giana sisters on the 64 (emu thou)
I must be tired, nectarine is at www.scenemusic.net
Also buddy on IRC just told me.
[21:37] [SGtrUck] iw: The author, tArzAn, indicated this morning to a friend of mine (who's name is truck) that he is considering making it available for osX and Linux. There were a few problems porting last year's code - but he had offers from several folks to do it, and they are in the process, apparently, of doing this. Not right now however - they have to go to Assembly (a DEMO party)
Pouet.net has a better review of Truck Dismount.
...than the work I was doing.
If there were an option for a seatbelt, this might be considered educational software, since it would be a good demo of the difference between using one and not using one. Then again, every one would turn it off to get a higher score and we wouldn't want our entertainment to be educational.
Oh man the only thing that could make this better would be if the truck caught fire at the end.
Looks like I have a new favourite game.
If only you could save movies - I've got it so the guy sits on the roof, slides to the back as the truck goes up the ramps, gets bounced into the air then batted against the wall by the roof of the truck. He lends, then the truck lands its rear wheels on him. Superb!
