Once I've done a 'Refined Keys' edition of 100% Unofficial First Entry Simulator (plus added a loading screen, I hope), I have an idea for a strongly adult-themed game. I hope people have objections to such an entry, or it hardly seems worth starting it without the idea offending someone.
Cheers R-Tape. I have low hopes for it. I'm planning on taking the pointlessness from Random Walk and add in the element of fear and suspense. Or something.
Scary thing is I'm actually going to end up learning a whole new load of Basic in order to attempt to implement this.

I've just created my first ever UDGs!
See cgc helps you learn new skills! I think we should apply for a government grant to make crap games next year! Why not? EA get tax breaks for making crap games.
Absolutely -and if the government need a logo for the scheme I can draw them a rubbish one in 8x8 pixels. With a bit more work I may even be able to make use of it in a print command
I have an idea and know how to implement it, but I'm afraid to win. :( I see the tradition can be tweaked slightly (not hosting the next one), so I may give it a go...

I hope so, and yep as you will not have to host you have nothing to lose! Just let me know your intentions if/when you submit it :smile:
The concept of a game you cannot win is nothing new as anyone who's seen their team on the end of some dubious refereeing decisions at Old Trafford will testify!
I certainly don't intend to try!
Thanks, Mr Tape, for the detailed reviews. I was disappointed that the word "crap" didn't come up once in the review for Peace, Love and UnderStanding, but I'm sure it's just an oversight.

Cheers! Yep it was an oversight, P.L.US is most definitely CARP! :razz:
1307! The game is strangely addictive! Too addictive for a crap game!
Nice one! Once you get into it it's hard to stop, buuuttttt that doesn't mean I'm going back to it to try and beat your score :D
At the end of the year I'm thinking of releasing a little digest : 'The Crap Gaming Year 2013' with the CassetteX* that results from this years entries. the winners will get one, and whoever else wants one.
It will be in the style of an old school fanzine I think - mostly just the reviews but also anything interesting that happens during the year, Hi Scores, standout events etc.
Heh, could do, a virtual festival or something, to invigorate everyone during the summer lull :D
(ideas welcome!)
A few of us are planning to meet in late Spring for a weekend of retro-ness in Derby. If you're not too far away then maybe you could organise it for then? I think that we're looking at the first or second weekend in May.
Or, if you have the time and lots of free weekends, perhaps you could do a Crap Gaming road show over several events? ;-)

That's more than I had in mind! I was more thinking of a 'crap' games club night, perhaps we crapateers could all go online here on the same night with our favourite tipple and play choice crap games from Cassette50 or the years entries.
It's a while off anyway though, and let's see how my mental state is after 6 months of crap games :-P

Also, no one should be able to complete the game in less than two steps unless they're cheating.

Even more opus-y than Random Walk? Excellent!
Ooh er! Might I have to change the settings on the site for this?! :D
I should probably start cranking up the hype engine now really. It's going to be astounding. A technical marvel as brilliant as it is pointless...
They're coming...

Another great review!

thank you for review. some crazy POKE's:
$60D4( 24788 ),1 - fast ball
$60ff( 24831 ),175 - stop cyan bats:p
Peace Love and UnderStanding.
A game that involves love missiles and not one double entendre reference in the review :-o
No wonder he looks so miserable in this months Retro Gamer! :p
Heh, and bald. I was sure I had more hair than that.
It's quite exciting seeing so many new genres being invented. Was there such a thing as a 'love em up' until now?
Surely the in game sounds are enough for anyone??!!
I haven't played it yet so I wouldn't know. I'm still recovering from Carpong! Gonna give it a go later.
