Craptastic Games From The Past
Saturday, January 3rd, 2009I did some digging today, saving old CD-ROMs by copying them to harddisk. Then I made an astonishing discovery - not only did I still have a backup of my second oldest homepage, but also of a couple of “games” I created when I was 14 or 15. Hilarity ensued. I’d like to present some of the, er - “gems” I created over 10 years ago in this article.
The first such “project” I’d like to show you is actually not a Click & Create game, but was programmed by nufan (with whom I later founded our demogroup skp) in Delphi if I remember correctly. It was called Outworld Apocalypse, and the story revolved around a character called “J.C” who crash lands on an alien jungle planet. Well, the game never really went anywhere, although I still have a prototype with clickable buttons and all. My “contribution” to the game were the ugly interface buttons and logo you see in the screenshot, as well as the website and manual. After the jump, you’ll be treated to even more astonishing creations!
Observe the state-of-the-art Photoshop filters I applied to those buttons!
