Re: Looks like you have a CRT an some controller that'll make you better than me
[quote name="Bananadine"][quote name="Gutsby"]Better than me at what!? <a href="http://www.supercratebox.com/ ">Super Crate Box!</a> A brilliant indie game that understands enough about playing to make me plug my old monitor back in. It is free. It doesn't cost anything. [/quote] Well that was fun. It's all about unlocking decreasingly interesting things and getting high scores so I had to delete it because otherwise I will dump too much time down it. But it was a lot of fun for a few hours. I really liked how Spheres of Chaos did this sort of thing. Lots of randomness and one-hit deaths, yeah, but you get multiple lives, and you can win more almost as easily as you lose them, so you don't need to feel discouraged if your performance starts to become non-optimal (you can just try harder), and the farther you get, the weirder the enemies become. That game felt like an adventure to me, rather than a timesink. I haven't played it in a long while though.[/quote]
