It looked like this as far as I remember (well I think it was only for x actually)... maybe post yours and we can take a look at it?

This is technically the wrong thread for this, since I know the name of the game, but does anyone remember S.P.A.M.? This was a text adventure engine that came out for the Mac in the '90s. I remember downloading games for it from AOL. S.P.A.M. stood for Single Player Adventure game for Macintosh. It was pretty lame but I was into it a lot, and I'm curious if it was just a figment of my imagination or if other people remember it. Google does not in fact remember it, at least with the search terms I've used.

This is kind of a lame question, but any suggestions on getting a sample to reproduce blowing into the microphone? And no, I don't have a mic on my computer :) EDIT: If you're trying to be as lazy as I wanted to be, this clip I made with Audacity seems to work well: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1665523/noise.wav

I thought the staircase section was the best part actually, but probably only because I know how hard it can be and it was awesome just seeing them zip (well, mosey) up them.

Holy crap, brilliant. You need to send this to AVGN... Short movie == lazy encode from me! Also DailyMotion for those who are also lazy!

I would vote for English, unless you think Japanese will save some significant amount of time or if there is not a significant amount of text...

Flip 3 coins of different types and assign each type as a digit of a three digit binary number. Treat heads as one and tails as zero. Re-flip if you get all zeroes :P

And if you want a fair die with 5 values change the 6 to "roll again"!

I will usually tell people about it if I know they are interested in old video games, and have shown some TASs to people if they sound interested... no one I know is even slightly as obsessed about them as I am though :) I think the most awkward description I ever made was to my father, where I had to start as basic as possible ("You know Nintendo? You can actually create computer programs that will read the data from a game and let you play it! And then slow it down! and speed it back up!")

Aw, we're not no-www fascists any more? I believe Bisqwit had www.tasvideos.org going to a page admonishing people not to waste bandwidth lol.

I tried doing something similar with Sonic for GG and it worked great -- except that it caused objects to load differently so the resulting movie desynced massively.

I was trying to remember that! Best code evar! I was always pissed that there wasn't one in the book for the Tanooki suit until I played around and found one -- but you can't change into the statue, which is the whole point :(

^cVc<c>c I got so pissed that this never worked for me; I had a newer version of the cart though D:

I would have to disagree; a well-optimized run with damage boosting would be way more impressive. 3-player would be great though...

From this full playthrough video it looks like damage/death abuse could be quite possible and abundant... Even if the trackball is well emulated, I assume it would be like the analog stick on the n64 which would make 3 players simultaneously a major undertaking. I would like to see a run of this game though :D

A publisher asking for a youtube encode? Oh, the irony...
Yeah yeah, I know :P I was impatient and away from my emulators... OK, so I actually watched it now (on an emulator even, amazing) and was not disappointed. You've taken what is ostensibly an autoscroller and turned it into a fast paced movie with copious evident physics abuse and amusingly short boss battles. It's also nice and short and has pretty unique gameplay compared to a lot of the games we have. Anyway, yes vote and looking forward to more work from you!

You can definitely have a script running and have the player control the emulator at the same time. You can't run two scripts at the same time though, as far as I know.
