Shmup – Exception Full Run on Excess Difficulty: Stage 1

John — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 18:20:02 +0000

This is a doujin Shmup game where you just bascially shoot cubes and cuboids. Simple game, nice music and its fun.

Doing a full run on it on excess difficulty. My PC cant handle insane number of objects on this difficulty, so hope you dont mind some of the slow parts. I also turned off openGL.

Parallel Dimensions ’99 (1999 SHMUP fan-game)

John — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 17:48:03 +0000

Here is my very first fangame. It is made in 1999 in Klik ‘n Play, later ported to Multimedia Fusion to take advantage of advanced features.

It is a Gradius-style shmup that has a prominent dimension-hopping element. That element has been a staple in my fangames since, from Xeno Fighters EX all the way to Super Mario Fusion.

Since it is my first fan game, it does have its flaws. For example, the weapons system is very unpolished and confusing. One weapon is completely useless (it was more of Klik ‘n Play’s fault, since I had almost no control over variables).

This video showcases the final mission, which is a trip to Microsoft Land, a ish reality of the Microsoft environment from the mid-90′s!

General Protection Faults!
EMM386 Exception errors!
Flying Windows Icons!
Program Manager!

This stage has both a midboss and a final boss, complete with cutscenes.
