ah, if only they would do Watchmen. Not sure if any of you ever read that 12 part graphic novel series from Alan Moore released back in 1985, but it is my favorite story in any format. It was absolute genius, and I used to read it just about every year. They are making a movie of it to be released March 6, and they actually got the money and director to do it right.

This month ms released a new update for security for win xp. After installing it everything went ok until I ran railracer. directx seems to have mangled itself. This applies only to those of us that test entombed. To fix this, go to add remove programs and remove the xna 3.0 beta. then run the intombed setup again. then restart the system. this should unbreak everything. NOte! this only applies to anyone that does not use xna 3.0 full, well anyone that uses xna 3 x for anything.

Re: [Audyssey] video game memories
Hi Shadow Dragon, If you can find the movie the Punisher that will basically give you a good idea of who the Punisher is. The easiest way to describe him think of Rambo in a black body suit with a skull on the chest and a black mask over his eyes. Unlike a lot of super heroes the Punisher doesn't seam to really care about arresting people and letting he authorities take care of it. He just blows them away and end of story. In the movie the Punisher is a bit too trigger happy for my preference. Shadow Dragon wrote: Oh, you're right, I have heard of those guys. Didn't think of them as marvel for some reason, but then again I'm much more familiar with the DC universe given the stuff graphic audio's done with it and a bit of fanfiction I read some time ago. The punisher sounds vaguely familiar, but I can't remember exactly who he is for some reason. I have to admit I haven't seen games with these guys in them though, save for spiderman, who was in x men mutant academy 2. Would definitely be interested in a more modern day fighting game based around the marvel stuff. Marvel versus Nemesis was pretty nice, but also fairly well inaccessible, at least for the ps2. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

As far as Masters of the Universe shows goes yes there is a newer series out. There was a series that was released in 2002 and ran until 2004. I've seen some of the shows out on DVD so I know it is out there if you want to get it. Ron Schamerhorn wrote: Hi Tom I'm not sure if it's quite correct but I think of most modern games as semi-movie like in the display. Giving it that almost real perspective. I do know there was a fair bit [and even this is old I guess] used in the movie Braveheart. Asking this might be a tad off topic but was there another Masters of the Universe cartoon? I remember the older one [sheepish grin] and even have some of them im mp3. *coughs* Ron --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] video game memories
Hi, Searching various fan based wikis is a great way to get up to speed with a certain character in a hurry. Even though I read a lot of comics as a kid and am familiar with most DC and Marvel characters I was suprised there were quite a few I knew nothing about. That was either because they added that character after I went blind or the character played a very miner roll in the comic books to begin with. Wikipedia and other resources was an invaluable resource on getting up to speed. Shadow Dragon wrote: Wiki for the win! Hehe.

Hi Ron So I'm not the only person who ever had an Oddessey2 by Magnavox! I can't believe it! The keyboard wasn't all that great for sure. Though the system did survive my hot chocolate one time. *grin* I recall on the cartridge that came with the game I could clear Speedway I think it was for the full time. I had a few good games UFO, Armoured Attack, KC Munchkin, Freedom Fighter, and Quest for the ring come to mind quickly but others as well. Have some fun memories of that system. It was my first console that I ever had. I even remember when the power shorted and the ac adaptor caught fire! *lol* Not bad games but the graphics looking back ... *shudders* (Y) Ron - Original Message - From: "The Kolesar Brothers" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2009 12:51 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] video game memories Hi ron, from another Ron.

Re: [Audyssey] video game memories
Is true you would have to know the names. But wiki tends to have lists as well, so you might be able to find a list of the marvel characters or dc characters as it suits you. Also a lot of the entries tend to have related links to other characters, like if a hero fought a rather obscure villain in an episode and the villain never returned, you might still find mension of him and a link to a wiki entry describing his powers and such. But wiki isn't infalible, there's probably a lot of gaps.

The graphics technology we have now for the XBox, PS3, and Windows Vista is nothing short of spectacular compared to what we had in the 80's and 90's. I'm just disappointed I can't see it for myself first-hand. One reason the graphics technology appears to be so good is many games actually use male and female mottles to pose for various positions and in various outfits. They probably even photograph them wet and dry for a more realistic effect. Then they cut their image out of the photograph and compile various clips of that mottle in hundreds of positions, from several different angles, etc. Then in the game it simply displays the mottle on the screen in the game world. if he/she looks real it is because he/she was based on a live mottle rather than drawn using computer generation. That isn't to say all games use live mottles though. There are plenty that use computer animation, similar to the new cartoons, to draw the game worlds and characters. For example most modern cartoons from Justice League Unlimited, to Transformers, to the 2003 Masters of the Universe series were all done using computer graphics animation rather than drawing all the images by hand and filming them. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] video game memories
Marvel Nemesis was a pretty good game... and actually, it was more or less pretty accessible, assuming you could get past the glitch in the ps2 version where in the first stage nothing actually appears.

Personally I don't really know of any other marvel people besides the x men off hand. My god, wolverine versus baraka would be insane. It's the perfect matchup, extendable metal claws versus extendable metal blades. It'd be insane. And a lot of the other marvel powers would fit right in with the mk stuff too, like gambit with his staff and cards, cyclopse with his laser eye, etc. You could get some seriously intense matchups going there. Lets hope they manage to get the license to some of the marvel characters and break out a truly finominal game.

I live in Canada, but I never really got into DC comics, so that's the real reason why I haven't heard about a lot of them.

I'm not sure what part of the world you live, but there are several more DC characters than you mention. For exmple the Flash and Wonder woman have been pretty popular as well. Here is a basic list of the most famous and well known DC heroes. Perhaps you have heard of them? Superman Supergirl Batman The Flash Hawkman Hawkgirl Green Lantern Martion Manhunter Aquaman Wonder Woman The above list is what i would consider the core members of the DC heroes. I've heard about all of them via cartoons, comic books, and podcasts so often I'd say they are fairly popular here in the U.S. I could understand not hearing of the more little known super heroes like Black Canary, Huntress, Fire, Ice, Stargirl, the Question, etc as they don't appear that often in the DC Comics.

So the tremendous change in even say 20 years. Having said that I do recall one of the first I ever saw was Telestar, it had a few sports games but extremely simplistic. As an example the i.e. ball was a small square on the screen. I'd still like to give the MK/DCU a good try wonder what it costs to rent for a night or two? Also I thought someone said there was a Marvel version I'd be keen on that as in my younger days as a comic collector I was more of a Marvel comics fan then DC.

I remember when the first handful of games like Pong, Demon Attack, Cosmic Ark, Atlantice, etc were released all the graphics were in black and white. Later games for the Atari like Packman, Centipede, Montezuma's Revenge, etc were all in 16 color. That sounds laughable now, but it made a huge difference in graphics technology at the time. When I am reading books on say Direct3D 10 it amazes me how the describe the different camera angles, rotating the graphics in real time, and building a completely 3D environment from hundreds of little graphics and sounds. The better your vidio card the better resolution and more realistic the 3D images look on the screen. It is no wonder people are blown away by the graphics in some of the 3D games of today. I don't have a PS3 myself, but I have heard the graphics technology on the PS3 is pretty amazing if you can see it. The newest installment of the Tomb Raider series, Underworld, for the PS3 is very realistic looking. I've been told when Lara Croft emerges from the water her skin looks wet and you litterally can see little droplets of water on her body. I don't know about you, but that level of graphic detail blows me away. Smile.

Hi Ron.

I do hope though the dev gets back to me sinse I think with a coordinates system and thus a huge reduction in the amount of mucking about the game could be fantastic.

Re: [Audyssey] question about video game developers
Hi Thomas, I never saw any of the black and white video games. Most all video games that I ever played were on my Atari 2600 and Atari 800 XL. And on those probably the best video was like Donkey Kong, Popeye and Star Wars. Which were only a tiny bit better than the graphics in games like Space Invaders, Missile Command, Pacman, Pong, Pole Position, bowling, baseball, football etc. I am sure that I would be totally blown away by the graphics in the games these days. Especially the X rated ones. BFN Jim PCs are OK except when you use them as bowling balls. j...@kitchensinc.net http://www.kitchensinc.net (440) 286-6920 Chardon Ohio USA --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] Adon
Hi. Well I'm trying out Adom. I must admit my ability to see coloured text is helping, but actually imho it's got some of the nicest roguelike features ever, in particular the examine command which gives you a curser you can wander around the screen with and look at objects around your character. The only thing that makes things quite difficult for me, and would make things a regular pest for access without use of the screen is that everything and everyone in the game moves around each time your character does, and there is absolutely no way of tracking them without using your look command to wander the hole screen. I haven't for example found been able to find the village elder at all, and only once have I found the sherrif. It would be really useful if a basic coordinate system could be added which would alert you of the relative coordinates of objects around you, specifically monsters, items, doors and stairways, also a coordinates system for when using the look command. Just my thoughts. I might well contact the dev on this, sinse compared to my nethack experience adom is incredibly accessible. Beware the Grue! DArk. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] video game memories
Personally I don't exactly think the marvel characters are more popular, a lot of it is that the most commonly known series from the marvel universe is x men, and there's a whole ton of x men, so when you compare it to shows like superman, or batman, where there's only really one main hero and some villains, its not really a fair matchup. Personally I don't really know of any other marvel people besides the x men off hand. My god, wolverine versus baraka would be insane. It's the perfect matchup, extendable metal claws versus extendable metal blades. It'd be insane. And a lot of the other marvel powers would fit right in with the mk stuff too, like gambit with his staff and cards, cyclopse with his laser eye, etc. You could get some seriously intense matchups going there. Lets hope they manage to get the license to some of the marvel characters and break out a truly finominal game. MK versus DC had its finer points, baraka versus deathstroke for the win, but nothing could beat mk versus marvel. Save maybe another straight mk game without the superhero craziness. -- From: "Clement Chou" Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2009 11:25 PM To: "Gamers Discussion list" Subject: Re: [Audyssey] video game memories My hopes aren't dashed yet. I do hope midway puts out a marvel and mortal kombat clashup. Lady Deathstrike and Kitana as my anticipated matchup. Or maybe Wolverine and Baraka. Either way, I hope it'll happen. And on the off-topic note, I do agree that marvel characters seem to be more popular. The only real DC icons I'd heard of before this game were Batman, the Joker, Superman and very very rarely Catwoman. Otherwise... rarely. And I hope Capcom and Marvel reproduce another fighting game... I've wanting those, very very badly. lol. I miss Marvel VS. Capcom. But to answer your question, no marvel console fighting games have come out.. though a lot of good beat em ups have made it. - Original Message - From: "Ron Schamerhorn" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2009 9:21 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] video game memories Hi Clement What a drag! Guess that only means DC struck a lower price. then Marvel did. Without going to far off topic I'd tend to think the Marvel heroes are generally more popular. Though each company are almost equal that way. Are there no Marvel based console games then?

No, there is no marvel version... though that's what a lot of fanboys like me have wanted, just so the rating could be boosted back up to an m. lol. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
