GamesTM Issue 13

[martTM]

Oh, and I really do love the 'next month' final page. They are really cool. I liked to 'Continue... ? Countdown' and this month had my friend and I giggling.

Ahhh, but the question is: has anyone actually worked out the point of it? The Continue countdown was going down to zero and then the inserting of another credit... but what's this one all about? And more importantly, where's it going next? Any ideas, eh? EH? 8)

You're gonna run out of money and the magazine will go under?

Game over.

Edit..actually, the colour of the 1-up mushrooms are the same as the posioned ones in Mario & Luigi...

Framerate matters diddly squat to the casual audience.

Good for the casual audience. I don't care about the hoardes of mongs infiltrating my area of interest. I can tell the difference and I prefer 60fps.

As for the film argument, could people please pay attention the next time a camera pans at any great speed in a scene. Marvel at the total mess laid out before you.

"Can you hear it Mr. Razu? That is the sound of... ineveitability."

Face it, your days are numbered, old man. They are the new order. Once companies realise they can still sell bucketloads of a 30 fps game (not that it matters), everyone but Team Ninja will start producing 30 fps game engines. I would imagine it is a lot easeir for starters and you can spend your time working on enhancements the vast majority of your audience will notice.

A certain section of the gaming community will always demand quality. Just because you're not in that section doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Run along now, we've been here longer than you.

The ones in Mario & Luigi that poison you are green with RED spots, not white... at least, I'm pretty sure they are.

Anyway, that's not what it means. Next!

I think you are correct. Curses!

Could be Harvest Moon related I guess...

[?pint]

Lol, it says 'Produced : UK SMC3'

Dunno what SMC3, but you can bet the 'S' and 'M' stand for 'Super Mario' and the '3' stands for '3'.

[martTM]

(sigh)

Okay... let's start again. Forget the game and think about what they are - or more specifically, what they do. The Continue pages generally linked to one another through the number counting down - the new pages also link through a common theme. But what's the theme? And THEN when you've got that, you can start trying to name the games... this one's easy, but they're going to get harder.

Am I getting through yet? Anyone? No? Bah.

[John Beaulieu]

they be giving extra life's

so is gamesTM getting some extra life blown into it (maybe new staff or a new look etc)

[Max M]

Maybe the first 12 months were a test (Continue?) and if it sold well enough then Paragon would continue the magazine.

[martTM]

See, now you're getting too deep...

I give up... I really do.

[PeteJ]

I think you need to give us a bigger clue

[Cacophanus]

I think you need to give us a bigger clue

I think it could be about Mart's new "she-male" status (did the operation go okay?), but I could be waaaaaaaay off on this.

Oh, and I really liked your import feature Pete (I also thought mentioning Allan was a nice touch). I look forward to reading more of your work in print

[?pint]

Shh, two paragraphs of the boxout belonged to me! I think it might even have been three!!!1 .

Thanks
And if I ever get the chance too, I'd love to do more. *waves at anyone working at a magazine*

HalfPint wrote the boxouts by the way, though two were edited into one
