Awesome Game of the Day

N been featured yet? You all need more N and less not-N.

I have N lying around but I forgot whether I used it for the old Awesome Game of the Week.

Lying around? I have it in a folder called Ninja Goodliness on my Desktop.

You didn't feature it in an old one, but actually Trasher did link us to it.


I forgot the site it was on though :|

Flashback

An old DOS game that's been ported to Windows, Linux, SNES, Genesis, Mac, Jaguar, 3DO, Amiga, Sega CD, PS2, Dreamcast, DS, and PSP. It's also one of the best games ever.

http://membres.lycos.fr/cyxdown/reminiscence/ Open source engine that allows it to run on Windows/Linux (without the need for DOSbox)

July 25
Crimson Fields

Definitely not an Advance Wars-style game. Features a really cool e-mail-based multiplayer mode that can be played over the course of a few weeks.

asfgjhg I used to have that game on my old DOS computer (Well actually it was my Dad's at first, but it got passed down to me), but once it was replaced by a Win98 one, I couldn't play it anymore because we didn't have it on a floppy anymore. Found it later on when I discovered the joys of the internet, and heck, it was worth it.

I've got the original instruction manual and everything, including a whole heap of codes that we wrote down years ago. Never really made a difference to me, since at the time I was too young to really know what I was doing, so I never really made it past the first level.

I RAISE YOU THIS AWESOME GAME SHADOWMAN



http://www.fun-motion.com/physics-games/de-blob/

99MB

You should all really be trying to top this anyway.

I have the SNES version, so woohoot for that.

Also I was gonna download De Blob but that's huge. Looks awesome though.

I've got the Sega CD version of Flashback.

I can't tell whether I hate it or not. It varies.

I'm gonna be drifting for a while.

You should totally download it regardless.

Aren't we due for 5 awesome games now?

Bloody fun when there's two player co-oping the "stage" mode. one player is fun too, but two, or more players is where the love is at.

-Giana Family

Ylles comment:
The engine, is basically SMB's with low grav. the strong point of Giana Family is the level editor and the multiplayer. You should try out a single player mission to get the feel for it, then go on a all out multiplayer battle.
I would reccomend looking at the settings before jumping into the game. seeing how alt-f4 is the only way to exit fullscreen.

-Every Extend

http://nagoya.cool.ne.jp/o_mega/product/e2.html
You're a little ship thing.
You selfdestruct to make blocks go boom.
Combo the explosions to extend your time.
Make it to final boss is not an easy task.

No comment on how the company Q, behind games like Lumines, Meteos, and the two Gunpey games, picked up Every Extend for PSP? Then again, your comment could be better then mine.

"Make it to final boss is not an easy task."

gosh. I paraphrased from a popular japanese shmup.

Well, im not Shadowman... so yeah. it might not be awesome stuff.

Because Elly only posted 4 and we need 5:

Jill Of the Jungle/Xargon:

http://www.dosgamesarchive.com/download/game/113

http://www.dosgamesarchive.com/download/game/157

Why did I post two? Well, they're both pretty similar, and only the first episodes of both are freeware, meaning alone they're not that big. You should all know Jill of the Jungle anyway because it's one of Epic's best games ever. I actually bought the 3 episodes of Jill and 2 episodes of Xargon (Didn't get Xargon 2 for some reason), and they're all great, especially if you've got the soundblaster stuff emulated (Although like most DOS games, they'll work with that little speaker inside your computer's box). You get to turn into fish and birds in the Jill series, and get to go in submarines and stuff in Xargon.

I finished the Jill series in a day and got a Darkz award for it, which just goes to show that Jill of the Jungle isn't too hard.

eh, i've cleared those two demos. >_>

Thanks for the intermission. I've been really really really busy this last week, so I haven't had time to find awesome. I'll start back up soon though.
