Slime Salad

I enjoyed <a href="http://www.slimesalad.com/forum/viewgame.php?t=1894">Village People the Video Game</a> so much that most of this first impression is just me enthusiastically reading the text boxes and then mumbling about how cool it is :) <object width="425" height="344&q...

This one had me worried before I started. With a title like that, there was a lot that could go wrong taste-wise. However, as it turned out, I did have some good fun with this. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rN_...

Bob the Hamster in the Crypt of Baconthulhu by James Paige - 4/5 ~ This game is a real cool time, but it's biggest problem is that it forces you to try to take it on in its entirety in one sitting. Maybe it's just that I liked to completely clear a floor before I moved on to the next, but this is b...

I really suck at <a href="http://www.slimesalad.com/forum/viewgame.php?t=1890">Techno Ship Funkotron</a>, I mean I suck BAD. Part of that I can blame on the awkward contortions I had to put my hand through in attempting to hover over the G, A, and Y keys all at the same time, but that does...

I think that the term 8-bit is often used to talk about NES style graphics, even though most NES games used 2 bit palettes. When You see a NES sprite with more than 4 colors in it, that means it was built using a composite of several sprites each with their own 2-bit palette. The OHR itself uses 4 b...

Here are my first impressions of <a href="http://www.slimesalad.com/forum/viewgame.php?t=341"><i>Timestream Saga - Arcadia Incident Report</i></a>. I was having a lot of fun playing this, and it shows in the video, because my mind is more on the game than it is on talking, and I mumble and...

Bite.

Alligators will bite you.

On your encouragement, I played again. 52 seconds to win, robots killed 5, babies lost 12.

Oh the Humanity!

Ooh! I love the way the water waves against the shore! Very nice!

I have started posting my Video First Impressions. I will be doing one of these for each game as I get the chance. (except for [<3] which I first played over a month ago) I will withhold my numeric ratings until I have found time to play everything to completion. Also, thanks for all the kind words ...

I like the water. I wonder how it animates?

I agree about not needing/wanting user groups. I think they just make the discussions harder to find. For example, the programmer's central user group on CastleParadox had existed for more than 4 years before I even knew about it... then when I knew that it existed, it took me more than a week just ...
