Truck Dismount One-Ups Stair Dismount

Posted by simoniker on from the that's-gotta-hurt dept.

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)
