Another banner entrant another day another asteroids clone. This one entitled Meteors from Platymuus Software. Who hasn’t played some variant of Asteroids? No really who hasn’t because when I find you I’m going to come to your house and punch your lights out! Okay maybe turn your lights off. Literally like flip the switch which will teach you to not play Asteroids. Wait that didn’t turn out right, we WANT you to play Asteroids at some point in your life. THE Asteroids – only one of the defining games of the last century. One in which an indie game company made a similar game called Debris and got caught up in a lawsuit by Hasbro who then owned Atari and was suing anything that moved, story is here. Anywho, Meteors is another Roidlike (no not Roguelike, that’s another genre entirely) and we will see just what it is like after the the break.

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010ColorRide – Rainbow manipulation
Saturday, January 2nd, 2010Our next banner entrant was EUO, an ultima-ish retro multiplayer rpg however when looking at everything that is involved with the game I will have to push the review for that off for a bit, while I play it. In the meantime we go to the next one after, called Color Ride by ExciteMike (Mike Meyer). Normally I don’t do “screen savers” as such, but since it was entered and since it is interactive I decided to go ahead and do a review of it. There was an image on DeviantArt called “Color” that was kind of neat looking. Mike wanted to see it in action as a game but apparently a game never exactly materialized, but what turned out was a cool looking interactive demo. More after the jump.
PREVIEW: Driftmoon
Friday, January 1st, 2010Our next preview is for a game called Driftmoon by Monkkonen.net an Independent Game Development Studio based in Finland. Driftmoon is an rpg in which you “Explore the enchanting world of Driftmoon, choosing your own paths and quests. Search, find, be surprised! Develop yourself and your skills, face dangers, and fight new foes. If you play your cards right, some of your excentric new friends may even join you, when your strive to solve the mystery tormenting this beautiful world.” It looks to be quite a treat as seen in their teaser video:
