Happy holidays, oddly enough I spent part of my evening drinking eggnog and playing ZeldaClassic. This is my first visit, I was unaware you had a site. Thanks for recreating some great memories from when I was younger. Cheers!

Merry Christmas to everyone! A very nice picture if I do say so myself. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but did *b* make it? Looks like some of the work he's done...

*b* 25 Dec 2005, 08:06

yep, that was me. I was hoping a CERTAIN ZELDA CLASSIC DEVELOPER would remember to credit me, but I guess a miracle is too much to ask on this night *jabs DN* (no, I'm not going to let him forget about this. I'll pester him to his grave!)

Yes there is. Look deeply inside of yourself for that christmas beta spirit. There's a beta inside us all on this, the highest of holidays, ... ... (And the ... mediumest of holidays, for the Jews ... )

The bloody beta will be released in all good time, with fewer bugs than you thought could ever exist. Have a happy, merry, jolly, sanctimonious, pleasant, joyful, exhuberant, effervescent, ... ... ... something or other.

A very merry christmas to you all. Special thanks to all those developing games like SE or ZC, your work is much appreciated.

I swear I came up with that first. O_O ... (And my present Resolution is a similar 800x600, and probably will be for all time. :sweat: 🙄 )

EDIT: ... Corrected what was quite possibly -the- worst typo in the history of man.

Only people with outdated monitors (I'm talking ten-years old and still running Windows 95) still use 800x600. And speaking of 182, remember the VSync hyperspeed shenanigans? Yeah, that's was hilariously fun. I get reminded of it every day, and even when my mind is turned off from that nonsense, it still flickers at me. Very weird. I need professional help.

Hell, me too. :-/ It's quite the reliable machine though, ... ... but as of late, ZC's sound has been failing me. A shame, really. I'll have to switch over to my AMD, and quite frankly, ... that's my gaming rig. ;_; Everyone uses that machine. My ZC time will be cut in half, and it's already fairly limited by stupid people doing stupid things with stupid hardware.

Meh.

Happy Holidays Everyone! And significant kudos to *b* on the art, I'm sure. 😛

Merry x-mas.
Sorry i have not been here in some time, but i quit using Zelda classic and moved on.
Maybe ill start visiting here more when a better version of Zelda classic is released.

I'm sorry, but right now Zelda classic dose not have enough features for me to want to use it.
Way too many limitations for me i guess.
Not saying it's like that for everyone, just saying I'm unable to get much use from Zelda classic right now.

firefly 26 Dec 2005, 02:38

WHY?, the current version of Zelda Classic is great, if you know how to use it and how to play it you should know the real ZC fun, and for future versions it will be greater I'm sure.

I need something with more of graphical umph.

Right now I'm using RPG maker XP, and i programed a game just like Zelda but with much higher graphics an colors.

When it comes to making a game i need allot of graphical features.
I do not mean to upset folks, but i just do not get much use from Zelda classic.

It's 2005 and about to be 2006, by now i thought Zelda classic would have a higher resolution and larger pallets.
When it comes to making a game i like to be able to customize everything.

Monster health, monster moving speed, everything.

I'm hoping by 2008 it will have the features that interest me, i mean 2008 is realistic, that is why i say 2008, i do not expect allot done anytime soon, if ever.
And yes i am aware of Zelda classics capability's, but rather then waiting and complaining to DN for the features id like to have, i moved on to other things.
I mean, it needs more things like the Pegasus boots, larger areas that actually scroll rather then the way it is now.

Just allot of stuff id like.
But like i said, I'm sorry and i do not mean to tick anyone off.
To each his or her own i always say.
The only reason I'm visiting is because i got an e-mail saying that the board has not had much activity.

And i have not been here in 3 months, and before that i had not been here in over a year.

Aww, man, ... ... Geeeeeez, ... ZC isn't about limitations, it's about Getting around those limitations! 😮 You can do so much with ZC if you know how. I've seen the most incredible things done, all because the author simply isn't lazy. 😛 Heh. Seriously. If you know what you're doing, and know how you're going to do it, there is -VERY- little that you cannot do.

EDIT: ... 100 more posts until the big 8,000. X_x'

firefly 26 Dec 2005, 04:02

Yeah, There are A LOT of things that you can do within ZC limitations, C' mon you can do amazing things in ZC if you want to.

Brittannianhero4: Keep posting so you can get quickly to the 8,000 posts!!!

ShadowTiger 26 Dec 2005, 04:22

Oh, rest assured, I am. 😉 I have this little bet where I have to reach 8000 posts before This Guy. Think I can make it? XD ... ... Obviously I won't spam or anything. That'd suck.

Just a thought. Would people prefer a glance of the beta -NOW-, or a fully functional version like, .. a semi-long time from now? 😮 Because if we got a horrendously buggy version of ZC now, I don't think too many people would actually work with it. In fact, I think it just might lessen the peoples' faith in the whole ZC world.

... Obviously though, that's why it's called a beta. 😉
