I love Quickies

First Comment!

I remember when Quickies faded away. But they are very informative! Thanks for bringing them back!

Definitely keep up the quickies. Barest of facts are fine, and link to the rest.

Palm wars is such a let down!

I mean, I know they have a lot inside the strategy and stuff but, men those graphics are terrible! I just wish something like KKND2 comes to PalmOS...

The graphics remind me of Captain Magneto for the Apple ///, which used font-based graphics for the characters.

jeez.. graphics are not everything.. I'd rather have a game that plays well and is small than a huge hunker that has gorgeous grfx but crap gameplay.. some of my favorite games are 100% ascii..like nethack and zork.

I agree, simple games can be fun too. I'm a big fan of DopeWars. I can sit and play that game for hours.

Then again small shiney objects distract me too.

It is a shame for a game to have such terrible graphics. Any monkey can write a fun game with terrible graphics.

Hello
thanks for the comments on my game.
I wish to remind you that this is a one-man-made game. That means I made all by myself on a Palm IIIc.

If you can make better graphics and you want to help me, I can send you a drawing-program that converts your graphics to computer code.

Please reply to fraalbers@hotmail.com

Thanks

--Frank

"jeez.. graphics are not everything.. I'd rather have a game that plays well and is small than a huge hunker..."

My post should have been clearer, I was not entirely chiming in with the first poster (and I know you're not responding just to my post), even though we have seen some pretty spectacular graphics recently. Captain Magneto was a first in that it broke barriers that formerly constrained developers. What I was referring to in the comparison was that the graphics and screen layout appeared to be similar... despite the /// having higer resolution than a 160x160 Palm. I'd post a screen shot, but it would take me a whole day to get the old girl put back to gether and running .

Like mentioned in this thread, I also prefer good gameplay. It looks good when a company has a room full of programers, or even a dedicated graphics programer, but I've deleted some games with great graphics because they were boring.

You have to have a Wi-fi device to win a wi-fi device at McDs?

*sigh*

I don't think you understand the gravity of the situation. We're in space.

Yeah, weird. Kind of like having a driving contest to see who gets a free driver's license.

Chicagoland WiFi contest...

wendo @ 8/16/2003 6:43:47 AM #

The contest at McD's in Chicagoland is not for and IBM laptop or Tungsten C. Instead, it's for Toshiba products; a Toshiba handheld or Toshiba laptop.

Just to let you know.
