Wow, THIS site's done a lot! tardis.dk/wordpress/They did updates on Omega Race (two!), Rip Off, Zektor, Space Fury, Star Castle AND Black Widow is being worked on! (Hopefully; the guy said it would be ready by 2010, so...) Check out the screenshots here! The title screen is pretty much dead on! Clicky for coolness!I always liked this one, even got to play it again last year (for the first time in ages) at a gaming expo  Good ol' vector clone (sorta) of Robotron: 2084. |

Yep, and I agree! ;D
Hopefully rmaerz will see it and check it out. Quite a few games to play for free when you're broke from buying homebrews!
I downloaded and played some Space Fury last night. Don't recall the original being that intense! Ok, maybe it was, as it's been forever since I've played it, but wow. You get some cheap hits though, since at times you can't tell if you shot something or not due to the spruced-up effects, but there's different alien entities, which is a nice touch, it's not just the one-eyed insulting alien, after several levels you get another one. There's either four in all or an additional four to the one original alien, plus with some new dialog too, I think.
And, it's also odd to play Space Fury with music playing as well! That's a first...

Hi, I just registered. Thanks for bringing my attention to this forum. I love vector games too. For those who don't know - Tardis.dk is my website and I made all the games there. Yes, Space Fury is probably the one game I've made that I've added the most to. The original game only has 5 levels and 1 boss, but I wanted more variety, so I quadrupled it and it now has 20 levels and 4 bosses instead. I love the original speech, but I wrote extra dialogue which needed speech too, and since I didn't know how to make it sound just like the original I had this guy www.richdouglas.net/ record all new voices. I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's one of my more popular games, so I must've done something right. |

I'd say you did! ;D It's a bit addicting, just like the arcade game, Coleco port, and the Vectrex clone of Space Frenzy. I'd say it also has a bit of a built-in "cult" audience too. Also, like it's mentioned on your site, you've done a bit of a different batch of games, not ones that have been remade a million times already, like Pac-Man and Space Invaders.
Thanks for joining!

Hah, just checked out Jack’o'Roid, as at first I thought it was just some game I wasn't familiar with. Turns out it's Asteroids but done with pumpkins/a Halloween theme ;D Loved the soundclips and all; check it out! tardis.dk/wordpress/?page_id=8 |
