I forgot about Gemini Rue! Though technically, they used the Adventure Game Studio, which runs on top of Allegro (4?). -----sig: |

Yes, it's A4. There are also other games which use AGS; I think Resonance deverses to be mentioned. I've only played two of them, but I think some/maybe even all (?) of those at http://www.wadjeteyegames.com are made with AGS/A4. |

Quite a lot of the games on Retrospec were made with Allegro. Unfortunately I don't know exactly which ones.

I still love LaserLock. A DOS game that the internet is slowly forgetting. You control a space station with corridors built from puzzle-pieces. There are aliens, civilians, and soldiers. Aliens are trying to take over the station. Every turn, you can do X amount of actions with your energy, like toggling doors, placing new reactors (for more energy) and so on. But what I do is get as many of my guys to a safe place, seal them in, then trigger a bomb on the other side of the station. The station vents to space and kills everything on the other side the the airlock, and in my case, 99% of the station! I've got a copy on my PC. It's hard to come by. [edit] This game was way more crude than I remembered. -----sig: |

bamccaig said: That is bloody amazingly well designed and polished. I love it. Thanks for the special build! It ran just fine. It crashed when I picked "Fantastic" graphics, but "Fastest" seemed to work fine. I did have trouble exiting though. Not sure if you're supposed to be able to go back to a menu or anything, but I couldn't figure it out. I was in windowed mode so I managed to get to the window's x. I'm afraid that I don't have a controller to test with though.
Thanks for testing! Glad to hear it works natively on Linux May I ask what system you're on? (mostly interested in GPU and CPU) _______________________________ |

I have an AMD (ASUS) HD 6850 and an AMD Phenom II 1000T. The full system specs should be available somewhere on the boards because I'm sure I built it with advice from here... I'm currently running Ubuntu for Steam support.

Many of them are packaged with source code and Allegro DLLs (Styx, for example). They also look really good! Can you say anything of their notoriety? The most popular game of the bunch would be a good starting point... I took the liberty of adding Resonance. |

Bruce Perry said: I found a shop called DLESS here. Pictures? On the notoriety of the Retrospec games: I did a bit of work on some of them to ensure the Mac version was working correctly - ExolonDX, Wizball, Deflektor and Tranzam (possibly Alien8, I can't remember) so I know the ones that Graham Goring did are listed in his Mobygames entry. Also there may be some YouTube play-throughs. Obviously they are all remakes and the original games were written about in computer magazines of the 1980s. That's about it though. Also, at least some of Linley Henzell's games are made with Allegro.

Like this game. It will be published soon... ----------------- |

Further derailment of this thread: we just went on at Steam Greenlight. It would be very kind of you to vote for our disgusting game, so the world can be made a worse place _______________________________ |

Voted You have an error in your description: the verb "to lead" becomes "led" in the past tense. If you spell it "lead" and expect it to be pronounced "led", then it's a metal. -- |

That's horrible. Horribly good! Am I right when I say this new Atomic Butcher isn't an Allegro game but the original was? Pete

I've heard that no one in USA is concerned about the Panama Papers. That everyone thinks it's just something about corrupt Russian politicians. I guess we will know more next week. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Years of thorough research have revealed that what people find beautiful about the Mandelbrot set is not the set itself, but all the rest. |

A quick look at Reddit /r/news or r/worldnews will tell you nobody is talking about ANYTHING else at all. The consensus is that the USA leaks are likely huge and going to be released later. It's a 2.6 TERABYTE dump. It takes a long time to sift through everything. -----sig: |

That, and the Delaware. Why going to Panama when you have the Delaware, which is more reputed than the latter for the security of the tractations. "Code is like shit - it only smells if it is not yours" |

. You are right to notice there's no way to exit currently other than the hard way. I admit I didn't invest much attention into this since we're going to re-do the entire menu and UI anyway. But it'd have been good to mention that, I'll add a section on our website as a quick and dirty work-around
