Let's reminisce! What do you consider is your best game (or...product?) you made during an allegro hack competition? I'd say my best outcome would be: Garbage Man Stan. ------------ |

My best game is Santa goes Arizona, from a Christmas hack years ago. Not because it was any good as a game, but it had some consequences. Last two Christmasses I've been writing Christmas songs with my wife and I dug up the music I made for the game. It inspired my wife to write some lyrics and she kind of created a new song, where my original tune runs in the background. And the lyrics are pretty much about what Santa does in my original game. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Years of thorough research have revealed that what people find beautiful about the Mandelbrot set is not the set itself, but all the rest. |

Not sure if it was a hack (probably not) but I always loved that Laser Lock strategy game. It's very dated now (and the link is broken), but basically you have a "space station" built from a bunch of pipe connections (with various numbers of interlocking joints to other nodes). Aliens have invaded. You have technicians and soldiers. Every turn you have X energy to do actions. You can build doors (or activate them) to seal off sectors. You can build lights which help humans aim and encourages them to congregate to lit areas (dark areas the aliens hit more accurately, and they hate light). My strategy was always a crazy one. I'd get as many people together in the beginning, throw in air locks and lock them, and then set off a bomb on the other side venting half the station to space killing everything. It might not have been "elegant" but it sure was effective as long as you don't have to meet the families afterward for tea. -----sig: |

Sadly, I cannot go down memory lane because of the fact that I was never able to clear the time needed to partake in the hacks even though I did sign up for a few of them.

I think my best product was either E'th for SpeedHack 2014 or Orbital Doom Z for ChristmassHack 2007. The first is definitely the funnest game I made, but Orbital Doom Z was just so technically sophisticated. Honestly, I can't say many other people's hack games made much of an impression on me. I recall enjoying Mark Oates' A Slug's Life and Imphernic's Alternative Medicine. "For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increases knowledge increases sorrow."-Ecclesiastes 1:18 |

I think my best was Space Dragon Escape Generally team Dark Bits make good games. Otherwise, other tend not to stick out after a while. --- |
