The Adventure

And this is what Lionel Ritchie said about his game:

I asked my friend Corongo from bau de jogos to submit an entry to the crap competition and he sent his masterpiece The Adventure, wich he made in the 1980s, and asked me to translate it. Muffie sent a craptacular piece of music to enhance the experience. The objective of the game is to BEAT THE GAME. To finish the challenge. To escape the game world. To discover what to do to beat it. It is some kind of transcendental experience, like BLUE ICE from psygnosis but with more crap and an impecable logic. Just type VERBS anytime to see all available commands. The prize should go for Corongo if you choose this humble piece of software art for the winrar os this competition.


 
The YouTube video will follow soon…

One Line Tetris

One Line Tetris is an easy game… so easy it just require to push one single button per time; You’ll play this game for hours and hours (since you cannot lose at this game) and you’ll be glad to find again all the happiness of playing a puzzle game without the angry for having missed a “Tetris” combo.

Mikhael Jackson Apple Catcher

Michael Jackson has just passed away, and we already have a crapibute (AKA a Crap Tribute) made by Vampier.

Michael Jackson Apple Catcher

Overall it’s a very good crap game… not as crap as the MSX conversion of “Moonwalker” but you can’t always get everything from life;

Vampier didn’t cared about sending some instructions to explain how his game works, so we’ll have to guess the purpose of this game by ourselves: move MJ (that’s Mikhael, not the now-defunct Michael) on the left and on the right with the cursor keys, trying to catch the apples that are falling from the trees (one per time, that’s more than enough).

I guess that a lot of people will enjoy this game, especially Lionel Ritchie’s family since Vampier is the very first contestant that doesn’t want to kill them. Much appreciated.

Marial Attack

Ok, this is a game that will be enjoyed by a lot of people, especially pope Benedict XVI. The goal of this game is to help the Virgin Mary (yes gentlemen, you heard right) in her assumption in heaven, avoiding the forks throwed by the devil himself;

Marial Attack

But now it’s time to read what the soon-to-be-excommunicated Muffie has wrote about his game:

On this another (as usual) MASTERPIECE from Muffie, you’re responsible to guide Virgin Mary through her assumption directly to Heaven. Of course, the Devil himself and his friends will try to kill Mary. So, the future of the world is in your hands pal…


*PS* There’s a EVEN MORE MARVELOUS version of this game here:

If I don’t win, I’ll kill lionelritchies family.

Hey, maybe we should put the life of Lionel Ritchie Family on prize, since it’s seems to be a valuable trophy in these days :P

And this is what Lionel Ritchie said about his game:

Cool interactions with other characters with commands like INSULT, ANNOY, AKS, TALK, SING, YELL and others. Contains instructions in the game.

Columbia Space Run

Hooray! Daniel Vik has been the first to enter this competition; his entry is called Columbia Space Run and is a arcade game where you’ll have to guide your personal space shuttle through storms of meteorites and broken satellites.

Columbia Space Run

And here is what he said about this game:

This game is an objective to run to Mars. The start is on the planet Earth and by six different episodes; you will be a pilot to make it there. Each episode gives you a challenge to navigate through obstacles that the objective is to avoid. When you collide, your ship looses momentum but you may be able to rescue the ship from falling off the edge.
After each episode, you will not hide from the enemies but catch them. Then you
gain power that you use to fail as well as to land the ship. At the last episode, you land the ship by turning and give boosts of speed that comes from the powers you have collected at the power plays.

If you want we have just added a short video of this game in action on YouTube:
