[BETA] Arcade Classics v2.25

Nathan Tornquist · 09-17-2008, 03:59 PM

Game Name: Arcade Classics
Creator: Nathan Tornquist
Version: 2.25

Important! If the back button is hit at any time, the game will exit.

Description / Instructions / Anything you want to say:
This is a collection of classic arcade games, and various older games. Not all of the games have been written yet. If the game is not included in this release, when the game is selected it will say "Game Unavailable" in the highscore bar. All highscores will save!

Instructions:
Solo Pong:
Try to keep the ball withing the boundaries of the screen. (The white box means nothing) The up-button moves the left paddle up and the right paddle down, the down-button moves the left paddle down and the right paddle up. The top and bottom paddles work the same way.

Snake:
Try to collect the apples and avoid the rocks. If you go off the screen you will reappear on the other side, as long as you do not hit a rock on the other side. Use the D-Pad to move.

Snake Classic:
Collect the hollow boxes. Move with the D-Pad, and stay within the screen.

Space Invaders:
Try to stay alive as long as possible. Shoot with center, move left and right with the D-Pad. You can only shoot one bullet at a time. The bases can be destroyed. They do not influence your score, but they are good places to hid behind. When the UFO comes, if you hit it you will get bonus points. You have three lives, try to get as many aliens as possible. The speed of the aliens is based on how many aliens are left. The more you kill, the faster they go. The points that you get from each alien is based on the type. The points increase the farther they are from the base.

Thanks for the update Nathan

Nice, too bad the games still restart after exiting.
Edit: Just finished checking out the games on it, and great job. Snake looks great with the new look. Can't wait till you make Frogger. Anyways good job and keep up the great work.

The ones that are inactive are not made yet.

The update is much appreciated as I have not figured out how to do it myself. Thanks much!

Nathan Tornquist · 09-18-2008, 03:42 PM

if the game is inactive, in the highscore area, it says "Game Inactive"

warlord2080 · 09-19-2008, 02:17 AM

the reason why pong ends so quickly is because your controlling both pongs there is no compuer playing it plus when you move the pong you get a score. i'm thinking the pong game is broken as of right now also alien invaders doesn't work. but very nice^_^ now to bring back the old nes games^_^

JLDAGH · 09-19-2008, 05:43 AM

Pong isn't broken, it is supposed to work like that. The challenge is controlling all the sides yourself. Very hard, it is.

The other games that say inactive are not broken, they just haven't been made yet. When they are, then you can download them and the spots will no longer be inactive.

nithun · 09-19-2008, 10:28 AM

nicee

Nathan Tornquist · 09-19-2008, 03:42 PM

Pong is not broken, and the score is based on the number of seconds that you are able to keep the ball within the limits of the game.

sir justin · 10-13-2008, 03:27 AM

I just wanted to say that I look forward to new versions of this game. Thanks for everything!

Nathan Tornquist · 10-14-2008, 04:14 PM

I just finished space invaders. I will upload as soon as I implement a saving system. I think I may work on Frogger next.

HenryII · 10-14-2008, 04:47 PM

when r u gonna make duck hunt?!?!?

Nathan Tornquist · 10-14-2008, 06:02 PM

The games I have planned are very loose. I may make it after Frogger, I may make it next, or I may change the game in that menu spot, and never make it at all. It all depends on the resources available (sprites).

(-_-) · 10-14-2008, 09:03 PM

Nice Job! This is looking great. ONe thing though, I noticed High scores didn't save, will they ever be permanent?

Edit: Woops, look like you already are working on this.

mrshadow92 · 10-15-2008, 02:27 PM

Can someone tell me how to add the games into my Zune. I am new to this and need help
