This thread could just as easily go in an emulation or origional games forum, but since there does not appear to be any of those anymore, here it is...

I made a little article about computer emulation and the greatest game ever made which I stumbled across on the Spectrum. Then I made a couple games to go along with it.

It is here:
http://jomb69.googlepages.com/SinkTheBelgrano.html

Perhaps you'd find it entertaining. There is humor involved. Plus having the greatest game ever made. That counts for something to. You dont see that everyday. Really it could be a life altering experience I suppose. The game really is that good. Spectrum sucks though. That just makes it all the more impressive that the greatest game ever made would be on that platform.

After using Firefox to disable the background image, I'll read it and let you know how I like it.

That was awesome beyond description. We must all hail "Sink the Belgrano", it is our SAVIOR! Especially the high score screen, that was priceless.

Wow. I am in awe of this video game design masterpiece.

I laughed my ass off at your article on "Sink the Belgrano"

Seriously, we want more.

I didn't really care for it.

I found this one much better: THIS is the best game ever made

Maybe I'll write another article next time I come across something really special

Now see, this is funny. This is perfect proof that real humor doesn't come from poorly-drawn phalluses.

I'll admit, I was skeptical at first given your track record as primarily providing poorly-executed toilet humor, but I actually laughed at this thing. Sink the Belgrano indeed.

It's not a badly written article, but I might have been biased based on your 'other' kind of humor. So I'm sorry if that lead to me not paying enough attention to the article. I can see the humor in it, but it didn't really make me fall out of my chair laughing or anything.

So yeah, I guess I'm probably that one person who you can't please.

Fixed. I'm fairly certain Custer's Last Stand doesn't exist.

That's an amazing game, just considering it's probably done in about 30 lines of code, tops.

I thought this one might have wider appeal

Personally though, I find my hacks funnier.... But I'm a little strange!

There may have been only 30 lines or so of code, but every single one was kicking ass and taking names. It's almost as if each line was divinely inspired...

Probably in a month or 2 I'll be doing another transformation, so forget everything you think you know about me as the author of obscene hacks, or as the greatest Sink The Belgrano player ever. Next time I'll be releasing my tactical strategy game.

A strategy game? An RTS, FE/(system)Wars style, or Isometric style(FFT, Disgaea)? Also, what're you making it with? Programming yourself, or using something like Game Maker? If you don't want to answer, I respect that.

It is a turn based strategy game. I made it myself using C++ Builder. The game is fully playable right now, so long as every player is controlled by a human. The AI on the computer players is all that's left to do, right now all the CPU players do is stand around looking stupid.

So how much idiocy should we look out for? Or is this game "clean"?

My origional game is not comedy (or is not intended as comedy anyway). I dont recall having any swearing in it even (though its been many months, or years in some cases since I wrote the text in it). I think it is a really interesting concept and I'm just hoping I have the programming skill to live up to it. The game could end up being infinitely expandable if it finds an audience. If it is unable to find an audience I'll just move on to a different game design (I have 8 other good ones on paper waiting to get a chance at being created).
