Ah, this game. I played this game on our old 800mHz computer at home several months ago if not half a year ago.

It lagged as hell but I think I

TheMageous is mine, and I dont know how to do the click thing, so you'll have to type it in.



This is probably the most fun game ever. It's almost consuming my life, and if I could win it might actually consume my life.

Also:

I cry inside.

It says "April Fools" at the top. I hope that means the whole site, in its current state, is actually an April Fools joke. I fear this is not the case.

Maybe someone here should host an official board server, instead of joining one with people in it.

And, of course, being directly between two walls will make you go ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SPLAT


As a note, the 'official' board server is MicroBusCity.com. Go insane.

Some gameplay notes.

  • I believe the white triangles under other human players are speed indicators. They get larger as the player goes faster, and smaller as the player slows.

  • Going next to another player's trail (or your own trail) such that sparks appear increases your speed. HOWEVER, doing so next to one of the outer walls does NOT increase your speed, despite the appearance of sparks.

  • Bikes appear wide but I think they are infinitely thin. In any case, they are much thinner than they appear and your sides can be going through walls or trails. Additionally, they don't seem to have a turning radius. That means your capabilitis in a tight spot are limited only by your frames per second and reflexes.

  • Hit the camera switch button (default 'c') four times for first-person mode! This is incredibly difficult to play in, but fun to watch other people in after you die.

I actually play FP mode -- if there was a camera mode that was right behind and above you, as opposed to the loose trailing camera, I would use that... but FP mode works fine, I guess

Interesting game here

I'm surprised at how fun the game is despite its simplicity. I've only played for less than an hour and am already becoming familiar with some of the AI's tricks and strategies...

ystam4 is my AIM nick; I'm usually on for a couple hours late at night, starting around 10:30 or 11:00 EST.

HI FOLKZ

SALSA FLIES is my AIM. I'm on spring break too.

This is awesome.

Or multiplayer Snake. (For people such as myself who can't recall what Nibbles is.)


In the background you can see the aftermath of some CRAZY SHIT going down.


This may not look like much, but imagine it going REALLY REALLY FAST. Like, super fast.

And if you're still confused... If you've played or seen Tron, you'll recognize the game right away. If not... Think a high-speed version of Nibbles.
