Also be sure to have a look at my project, currently titled Puzzle Master (the name will change before public release). The link to my little section of the forums at GU is in my sig. There is no public version available at the moment, but this may change sometime soon if someone can help me out with some of the topics I've posted about there.

Not there after almost a full year of development (translation: DELAYS).

Well, yeah, I am in the process of getting married and buying a new house...so delays are likely....lol

Anyway, don't tell anyone, but I plan to have a huge release the first or second week of Jan (2003)....not finished...but I nice release. 😉

I have a broadband connection, and so have tried VegaStrike (http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net).

However, I could not get it to run at anything approaching a useable speed, even on a >1.0 GHz (with GForce 2) machine. I suspect this is due to the game being OpenGL. Anyway, keep this in mind.

Graal Online
http://www.graalonline.com

I'm sure most of you have heard about this game a million times, but just in case, here is a game that I personally think USED TO BE really awesome. Unfortunatly it costs money to play online now unless you prefer playing for free, but having your account reset each time you go back online. It used to be a massively multiplayer Zelda with more features, but now they've changed the system so much and made it so bad that you can't even tell. If you do check it out, play one of the classic servers as they are faster and more Zelda like.

You REALLY old school buffs might be interested in this though...

Handheld Simulators

Some old stuff in here, such as Game & Watch. Those were the sh!t.

Thank you so much, WarOmnimon! You have brought me hours of happiness with my Speak and Spell Emulator 😊😊😊

EDIT: So sorry! I double posted! Please excuse me! Look at my rank, I'm a newcomer!!!! :cry:

Um, I guess technically this isn't grave digging since this thread is frozen, but the multi-mario link doesn't work, and I'm really curious now... can someone get me a link to the games homepage, or something? I had a smb 3 rom hacking utility some years ago, but it was all keyboard controlled and that sucked...
Something a little better would be awesome.

Not sure if this is quite what you're talking about, but I'm currently working on a pretty intense Prince of Persia modification. I've already converted the 'prince', as well as 'jafar' (now we know where Disney got the name...) and most of the generic 'guards', but I've still got some touching up to do before it' released. The link to some screenshots is in my signature (or if you've disabled sigs for some reason, you can click here : http://snow.prohosting.com/krismarx/OoT.htm).

it's currently in Beata stage (0.3, to be exact) and I'm still looking for more testers, so if anyone is interested, let me know! I'll be happy to let you in on the beta team.

there's a all-out fighting game that a friend is making called "Rage of the Dragon"
it's in early beta, but here's a screenshot--

btw Darth, the image isn't showing in your sig, though, I think it might be a bit too big anyways

Don't really understand what? Please be specific.

If you're wondering what the point behind this thread is, the point is to mention and talk about fan made games. Zelda Classic is an example of a fan made game.

Gerudo 22 Apr 2005, 16:16

Might as well update this thread with SOMETHING...

Mitsukara pointed me to an awesome Mario clone called Mario Forever. Has All-Stars graphics, I think it's made in Flash, and it kicks ass.

Mario Forever

Next:
Ever play Gradius? How about R-Type? Like them both? What if they were meshed together into one game? Would you like that? Well then check this out:

G-Type

It combines the power-ups of Gradius with the power-ups of R-Type. This means you'll be getting the power orb, satellites, and power shots from R-Type, and you have to shoot enemies to get the power-up items like Gradius. The game is quite fun, but short (5 stages).

Next:
Another Mario clone, you say? This next oddball mixed Super Mario with Castlevania. I thought it was weird myself, but after playing it, the game made sense. The name doesn't though.

Super Mario XP

(Description from Acid Play)
Super Mario XP is not very similar to the original. The killing methods are the same ie. jumping on enemies and things like that, except there are more weapons than just the plain old fireball. There are hammers, bommerangs and more. The enemies are all the same but the backgrounds are different.

Enjoy these games.

Note: http://www.acid-play.com, as far as I know, is a FREEWARE site. I have not come across any retail games. If there are retail games on the site, it was not my intention to link to a site that contains these things.

edit:
fixed my [size] tags, and the urls.

Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.*cough*

Gerudo has the correct links, but for some reason when you click on them from here, a second "/" character gets put in the url after the .com/. Take that out and it will work.

Gerudo 23 Apr 2005, 17:11

That was really weird. Never done that before. Anyways, I fixed the url's and my size tag. Apparently if you aren't linking directly to a htm or php file, you gotta put the trailing slash.

:shrug:

Darth Marsden 11 Jul 2005, 21:48

I posted about this a few months ago, but my Prince of Persia mod has now reached Beta 0.5, and due to a lack of Beta Testers I've decided to make it an open Beta. Head to my site (www.kx-website.com) to download it.

Please do - if people don't tell me what's wrong with it, it'll never get finished.

Also, here's a link to a different thread which featured some Final Fantasy fan games, for those interested in that sort of thing : on the search

King Aquamentus 26 Aug 2005, 22:50

I made a shooter awhile back based on Zelda. In it, you play as a Zora who has to blaze her way past several Link Clones. There are seven stages total. I'll put up a link to it soon.

Okay. link.

I've noticed a few fighting games at a few other boards, Chaotic Worlds and Guilty Gear Dark; information and a download for Chaotic Worlds can be found here.

Let's see if I can find a few screenshots...

- Mega Man Evolution: http://www.thegoodtimeboys.com/games-mme.html
A Mega Man game by the creator of Mega Man Co-Op. Has 32-bit graphics, takes the best of all MM games and brings them together, including 8-bit Robot Masters converted into 32-bit, original music, melee attacks, and other unlockable fighting styles. Must play it to see what I mean. Totally original concepts, but at the same time, still feels like Mega Man.
