I'll say it again: I love the artwork! So retro! My favorite part is the bird perched on another bird, which is perched on the truck. The loot in the back of the Jeep is pretty sweet too.

Arkhan Asylum

You can thank my womanoid for the exciting cover art.  She somehow pulled that off out of my description of "draw the dude flying up a hill in a jeep, with loot in the back"


and Paul did the coloring.  Had I done it, it'd look like Insanity.   We don't want that.

Here's the development of the cover art, for those interested in this sort of thing.

That is hands down the coolest homebrew packaging art! Love everything about it, especially the 80's style font!

The 80s were my era. Even if I try to do something modern, it ends up looking 80s. I'm stuck there.

Arkhan Asylum

Nothing wrong with being stuck there.

So,

I'm a huge jackass and accidentally sent out an empty pyramid plunder to one of you.

The disc is in my duo.

So, when you open your empty jewel case, shoot me a PM so I can fix that, free of charge obviously.

on the bright side, whoever it is can claim they have the MEGA ULTRA SUPER RAER TEST COPY!!!!

How bad is the case?  I can replace it if its royally hosed and you want a new one. 

It really sucks that they manage to screw the jewel cases up sometimes, no matter what I put them in.

My guess is it's one of the first ones I sent, which is probably Henry. -_-

I got so excited to mail them out that I forgot to remove the one I tested and put it back, lol.

Not too bad. just the little tab part of lid. You should have seen the mailer that it came in though... completely tore up and in a round ball, all retaped, to the point I didn't know what it was until I looked at the label.  I have no clue what they did to it. I'm going to replace it with the one from that stupid old MSR case. lol. 

Seriously no need to worry, I'm just going to through a new lid on it.

In the event It hasn't been tossed when i get home I will.  I should have taken it then, but when the mail lady showed it to me, i was in a rush to make sure they didn't break it in half.  Plus our mail lady is awesome and waited for me to open it so I could refuse it (not that I would have)

Still curious how one goes about mangling those envelopes.     

Maybe I should've wrapped it entirely in clear tape for them.

Quote from: PCEngineHellI already dropped him a message on there and he did not reply back, so fuck him, and his cunt wife.

It needs SystemCard 3.0.

It's more than a pacman clone.   There's powerups, multiple enemies/tilesets, scrolling maps, and music!

turboswimbz

I'd call it pacman on steroids - while the concept is very similar, there is a lot more to it with the different enemies on each level, down right huge maps, and power-ups that add several layers of strategy.  Yeah while it's not a huge action packed platformer or RPG, it's a very good puzzler/strategy game programmed solidly with a lot of attention to detail on gameplay. Looks good, sounds alright, and most importantly it's a lot of fun. (running from those damn skeletons is quite exciting 8-[ - and a pain they keep getting me #-o)  It is a must try.

If Ark doesn't mind me putting in my 2 cents.

Now to get a decent high score...

You're allowed to put in whatever cents you want :)

I don't mind.   We kind of need feedback to know how we did!

I will say that making the music was a giant pain.   I tried to get Egyptian sounding music for the levels, complete with 80s-arcade-esque soundeffects.  It wasn't easy to get the tunes to happen. :(
