[Dr. Bacon]

Hello,

Here's my contribution to the "Finish something month" campaign. :-)

Everyone knows Tim Langdell is a undercarraige and because I don't care about him and his way of doing business
I've remade Starbike which was published by The Edge Software for the Spectrum in 1984
...and I promise to call him a undercarraige if he writes me. :-D

Goto the homepage >HERE< or download it >HERE<.

A couple of piccies;

[caffeinekid]

I applaud your testicles.

Congratulations on the release. Good stuff.

You mean Cojones? Like a mutated pickle grown in the Area 51.











Btw, lawsuit is in the mail, reply promptly!

[Ian]

Area 51 doesn't exit. It must be true - the American government (like the British one) wouldn't lie.

That's reet grand that is.

[hitm4n]

its bollocks...

[Lobo]

Area 51 does exist, Dan Aykroyd wouldn't lie!*











* Well, he's a rather disturbed chap but still.

Balls of steel and a cast-iron codpiece.

That looks pretty damn neat.  Nice one!

That download service you use is a piece of crap and many type of restrictions...... It event want work here without crash (a least not here). Third attempt using Firefox works. {EDIT: This was nothing with the service to due, but more a ram issue I now have}.

I do happy to host the file for you, if you wont want you normal server.

Nice game, only I can see is he fall a little bit to fast? Elsewice no other thing needed.

The sound issue is a much worse on Win7 RC than Vista and choops and clicks a lots like  hell. I have pm you on the another forum.

Thank you. I've now added a link to the file hosted on your site.

I expect to make an update available in a week or so as there is a few things I'd like to tweak, and I'll look into the "fall-speed" and see if it makes the game better.


Could someone with user accounts on tigsource or eurogamer please announce the remake there?
-the whole idea was to see what will happen if it gets Tim Langdell's attention, and a posting there should help "spread the news" but I can't be arsed to register myself. :-D

[spacefractal]

rest of the game fell really really good and music suit nicely (dispite the sound issue, but I do soon to test and play it on my laptop which is not normally have these such of issues).

I hope I do not need to remove it from my server due the champ. We let see what happens.

PS. For other sites do NOT direct link to the game, it might been removed or changed.

My testicles are happy about that.

One thing to tweak "Loading Ressources" - resources doesn't have two consecutive S's.

Oh, whoops.
Thanks. I'll fix that when I update it in a week or so.

That's Couilles in french, just to make you smarter...

Senor Langdell is likely to be happy that he and his 'company' were credited properly in that game actually, he might even give you a 50MB! server for it and a BANNER!

[Havie]

I went to school with the guy that wrote this game originally - I think!  He was a sixth former when I was 12(ish).  He had started to create a wicked copy of defender on the school Commodore Pet (even as far as creating an attract mode). Don't know if he ever got it finished or even if it was the same guy although it seems a bit of a coincidence as Starbike was basically a defender clone...

will download and post comments on your remake and well done for getting it done.

What the....

That's NOT the plan!...in that case I'll start charging money for it. That should turn him pretty quickly.

[Lobo]

Exactly, Dr. Bacon, you need to-

A) Charge at least $50 for it
B) Have sales in (at least) thousands
C) Every blog marveling about it
D) Nothing to do with Bobby Bearing (oh wait, you're good with that)

Wouldn't hurt to also put a huge © and/or (tm) next to game name and 'edge' as well as in~

Congratulations on getting locked and then unlocked on WOS. LOL

Tim Langdell, sounds like a bit of a undercarraige to me!

Never heard of him!

I can't do anything about C but A & B are easy. Lemme see...

Retroremakes has just under 1000 members and if all of them buys a copy for $100 that should do it. Any takers?

Haha, now that's just too silly.

- oh, and just what is it with you and German, eh?

Congratulations on getting locked and then unlocked on WOS. LOL

LOL, thanks. I had to write and promise to behave. No my usual style but I guess I can make an exception.

[Lobo]

My wife?



Oh and..just where did this little piggy made a mess of pigself and had to write 100 times not to do it again?

My thread over at World of Spectrum got locked because of complaints over the language I used.
Just how sensitive can you be? - they wouldn't last long here.

[caffeinekid]

We are more likely to lock a thread that *doesn't* contain the word "undercarraige". LOL
