Alphattack - or why it really is useful to be a fast typer

Alexander Griesser — 2007-01-04T15:00:22+01:00

Today I spent my lunch break on playing Alphattack, a game I first found this summer and was quite some time very fond of playing it.
Now I gave it another try and as this game is really so much fun, I want to recommend it to you all out there who think that you are typing fast enough.

As additional bonus, I want to give you all the passwords for every stage.
Have Fun! :)

BTW: This game is also downloadable as windows executable on the above mentioned link and runs perfectly with wine.

TheShooter

My brother is currently writing his first SDL based game application which is called "TheShooter".

As it is more a technical proof of concept by the moment than a full featured game don't expect too much of it, but the basic concepts of a game are already implemented.
For a detailed list of features and download instructions see the links below.
The game also works perfeclty with Linux, thanks to SDL's magic...

Driving real cars, virtually - Part 2

Alexander Griesser — 2005-12-22T01:02:31+01:00

I'm #4 on the blacklist. The races and milestones are getting much harder to accomplish but on the other hand, the cars are getting nicer too :)

My newest toy is the Lamborghini Murciélago, check out the gallery of this beautiful car.

My garage now looks like this (click on the car to see its complete gallery):

I hope this game is over soon, as I have no motivation to do anything else on my evenings than tuning my italian sports cars

Driving real cars, virtually

Alexander Griesser — 2005-12-20T21:46:02+01:00

I spent nearly the whole weekend playing NFS Most Wanted and the result of this long lasting work looks _really_ nice.
Only a few more blacklist riders on my way to get my BMW back from Razor and Ming was so kind to hand me out the keys for his ultimate-tuned Lamborghini Gallardo.

Driving this car is _SO_ much fun. The only problem is in the car being very light and breaking through street-barriers is much more difficult than with my german two-tons-panzer.
Therefore I'll keep both cars, the Audi for cases where I know in preface that I'll have to wreck some S.U.V.s and the Gallardo for everything else.

A new gallery is online for the Gallardo, see Links below. Also some new pictures of my Audi against lots of police cars are online in the audia4-gallery.

Multiplayer Issues (LAN-Games):

As we (my brother and I) had at first troubles to get NFSMW work in Multiplayer LAN mode, he wrote down some notes about how to solve this problem.

New pictures in the NFSMW-AudiA4 Gallery available!

Yesterday I managed to beat blacklist #12 which means that I'm now up to #11. The further I get, the funnier it is. Yesterday I destroyed my first light-SUVs and it's going to be much more fun later on I guess.

On the way home at the train I tried to pimp my A4 to make a BMW M3 GTR out of it - well, that didn't work out, but the results are funny:

Evaluating EA Games Need For Speed Most Wanted

Alexander Griesser — 2005-12-15T08:59:19+01:00

Yesterday I got EA Games newest car racing simulation called Need For Speed - Most Wanted which currently is on the way to be my favourite one from the whole NFS series (not only because the front car is a BMW ;)
The only thing I'm really disappointed about, is that there are no drift-courses anymore. I loved them!

I started with a Fiat Punto being so very ugly, that I didn't even make screenshots of it. After beating the number 15 blacklist rider, I won his car (a Golf GTI) which is not much better than the Fiat Punto, but not that ugly, so here are some screenshots of my current car.

Click here for more pictures of the Golf GTI...

Update:
A few more pictures of this ugly GTI before I finally got rid of it are online.
Due to the mass of screenshots I'm expecting in the next time, I'll create a new gallery for every new car and exactly that was what I did a few minutes ago, because today I bought an Audi A4 quattro 3.2 FSI and as mentioned before, here is the Audi A4 gallery.
