Wipe Out - Page 2

i thought this ^^ had stopped.

i could just post a positive quote from one of the other reviews inreply, but it would achieve nothing.

I understand you dont like the game... I do however, and there will be others out there who also enjoy it!

But the question is: Who shows mercy and install it for you? I would do it, if i could. Only to stop your begging for it.

StingRay · 25 July 2007, 23:10

As usual it's all a matter of taste!

But Giana Sisters the worst platform game?

But as long as you don't say Top Banana is the best platform game there's still hope.

A last funny thing i couldn't resist:

Quote:

You need an extra disk for save states, formatted in the special Gonzo DOS format.

Hungry Horace · 25 July 2007, 23:22

i dont like Super Mario either... no surprises i think GGS is poor-handling, horrible looking, un-needed and un-wanted clone, for which the games greatest feature is the cracktro music. i wouldnt expect everyone to agree me is the difference here.

Retro-Nerd: if forming a sensible arguement in-favour of a slave, defending a games un-needed belittling and bringing to attention something which may otherwise go un-noticed is "begging" - then that's fine for me.... its better than just writing "pleeeease" in the biggest letters EAB allows

and whats so unusual about a custom formatted save-disk?

funnily enough, im not expecting a slave out of all this any time soon, if this is the kind of hatred that is encited by a single request.

Retro-Nerd · 25 July 2007, 23:31

It's always funny to tease you a little, because i like your serious passion in defending lousy games.

And yes, there will be a WHDLoad patch someday.

Gonzo-Dos sound funny, imho.

The best and only reason to create a slave for a game is that it doesn't have one already

StingRay · 25 July 2007, 23:39

Now that's typical coder's logic.

girv · 25 July 2007, 23:41

Ask a climber why they climb mountains. "Because they're there"...

Have you played it, girv? I assume you like the slow, jerky and ugly graphics, the crappy controls, the useless mini radar......

Good argument.

So you make Horace happy, with a WHDLoad patch?

Hungry Horace · 26 July 2007, 00:33

you know what to do about that then Girv... hehe

lmao @ "crappy controls" - i always really struggle with joystick left/right, up & down to accellerate/brake & fire to jump.....

i've already hassled Girv enough with Bloodwych slave updates (of which i have more to request once i have thought them through/ think Girv is up to taking my requests!)

im not sure one man alone deserves that much punishment

lalala im not listening lalala

after KG sent me some generic installer stuff to try out (file and disk-image slaves) which he'd used on the Croak installer, i thought i'd have a go at trying to make a slave for this.

alas, even the cracked-to-dos version refused to work. (exitting after the crappy cracktro) whilst the disk-image version still tried to access the floppy drives before quitting out.

im beginning to lose hope on ever getting an installer for this mis-understood gem.

Finally, he's getting the message!

Hungry Horace · 13 November 2007, 23:52

glad to be a source of amusement to you Galahad.

whatever happened to good manners?

thought you guys were supposed to "enjoy the challenge" or something like that

at least i bothered to try and do it myself, which most people probably wouldnt have.
