Title: Crimson Land
Post by: diamondgeezer on January 02, 2003, 12:52:09 am

So, Crimson Land (//ftp://ftp.komputerswiat.pl/gry/zrecznosciowe/crimsonland/crimsonland_v140.exe), then. High scores?

Me = well over 300K, but my high score table keeps corrupting :D

yeah, grabbing executables from a untrusted server and then running them is ALWAYS a good idea.

I'm running right out. ;)

Well, the official website is man down at the mo, so I just searched at filemirrors.com for a working link.

Still, if you don't want to get it then it's your loss - it's a fun and stupidly addictive little game :nod:

It's fun until you realize that, no matter how good you are, the game becomes impossible at a certain point... basically the difficulty ramps up to a brick wall.

Yes. It's an arcade game. That's the whole point.

You're trying for a high score. Did you never play Drop Zone?

Gimme a Plasma Minigun and Ammo manic and I'll show you a good time.

This is a great game.  Yes, it becomes impossible after a while, but who the **** cares?  For a few minutes of mindless fun, this is the game to play.

Only bad arcade games become flat-out impossible after only a few minutes of play. The sheer monotony of the enemies is no plus either.

Yeah it's pretty, but I'd rather be playing Robotron.

Right, you do that, then when someone makes a Robotron thread you can make a constructive comment
