Existing Games / Game Boy ROMs

« on: January 09, 2010, 09:13:51 AM »

Well, there was a load of these in the RW:ED thread, and I just found some BattleBots ROMs (always wanted to play them) so I thought a collective thread could be useful :P


I found them all online or in other threads.


These all open with Visual Boy Advance (can be downloaded as part of the Robot Wars Bundle)

Existing Games / What was your first video game?

« on: December 23, 2009, 08:35:14 AM »

Stagfish gave me an idea in the RW:ED thread... what was your first ever video game?
It'd be interesting to see how it all differs between age ranges and location XD

Mine was actually Super Mario Land on the original Game Boy, good times ;D

Spoilers are in white spoiler tags (:P) underneath the match description.
Winner's Bracket
ROUND 1
Battle 1 - Badnik96 vs Craaig vs Reier - ****
A good match and a great way to kick RIP off! And yes, I suck at strengths/weaknesses.

Reier wins on points. Badnik is KOed, Craaig is a few hundred points behind Reier - I seem to be good at losing by a hair :P

Battle 2 - 123savethewhales vs R1885 vs Urjak - ****
A quick match, but nonetheless very exciting!

Urjak wins. The other 2 end up OOTA.

Battle 3 - JoeBlo vs Pwnator vs Thyrus - ***
A bit more drawn out than the last match, and I'm sure one of the contestants will be having a pure 'FUUUU-' moment...

Pwnator wins. JoeBlo is KOed, while Thyrus gets pinned on the wall early in the match.

Battle 4 - Doomkiller vs Jack Daniels vs The Ounce - ***
A pop-up, a gut ripping VS and a poker. Good match but... the outcome could be predicted. Most of this match is in double-speed as recommended by Reier. It looks alright :P

The Ounce wins. Doomkiller is the first to be KOed, while JD comes in 2nd.

Battle 5 - Condor33 vs STC vs Trumpetguy - ***
Seems one sided... then turns on it's head. Another FUUU- moment, I think

STC Wins. Trumpetguy flies out of the arena at the end, but Condor is thrown out earlier by TG.

Battle 6 - 090901 vs Clickbeetle vs TriTon - ***
Lots of shell spinner action here, although one contestant won't be happy with what his robot does :P

Clickbeetle wins. 090901 is KOed by Click, while TriTon (After returning to it's wheels) loses on points.

Battle 7 - Naryar vs Rusty vs Somebody - **
Slightly tedious match - lots of circles. Best moment is definately at the start!

Naryar wins. Somebody is KOed, while Rusty did a runner!

Battle 8 - Jonzu95 vs Man Manu vs Rusty - ****
A good match, with another surprise!

Jonzu95 wins. Rusty is TKOed and Man Manu is KOed.

ROUND 2
Battle 1 - Reier vs Urjak - ****
Quick but very action packed. Could go either way!

Urjak wins - Reier is thrown OOTA

Battle 2 - Pwnator vs The Ounce - *****
I personally really like this match, hence the 5*. Suspense, drama, and action all in the space of a minute or so! There's a few good camera shots here too :P

Pwnator wins - The Ounce ends up OOTA but was pwning Pwnator beforehand - what a match

Battle 3 - Click vs STC - ****
I don't know what to say anymore.

WTF. STC wins, KOing Click!

Battle 4 - Jonzu95 vs Naryar - ***
More circles? XD

Naryar wins by TKO.

Semi FinalsSemi Final 1 - STC vs Urjak - *****
Lots of action here, both bots could've won this!

Urjak wins - STC is thrown OOTA.

Semi Final 2 - Naryar vs Pwnator - *****
Another 5* match, this one doesn\'t even need the double speed!

Pwnator wins - Naryar is KOed.

Grand Final
Pwnator vs Urjak - *****
A great match with robots flying all over the place! A fitting end to the Winner's Bracket

Go watch it, cheater! :D

Everyone's entry number will be put into a randomizer. This randomizer will give everyone the number that corresponds to where they go on the bracket.



GO AHEAD AND ENTER SOMETHING ORIGINAL. ORIGINALITY IS GREAT.
IN FACT, THERE WILL BE AWARDS AT THE END OF THE TOURNAMENT AND A FEW WILL BE BASED ON ORIGINALITY AND AMUSEMENT (what did you expect, it's me running this tournament :P)

Rules are as follows:
1. Middleweight, realistic, DSL 2.1 bots.
2. No glitches, BFE, AAM, GMF swapping etc (UNLESS it's been FULLY OK-ED with me).
3. Multibots not allowed.
4. I AI, and you don't complain about it. Do it yourself if you want to.
5. No cheatbot2 parts
6. Must show CONTROLLED MOVEMENT.
I think that just about covers mostly everything.

General Support / I Don't Get Hamachi.

« on: August 22, 2009, 02:59:24 PM »

Okay, this will more than likely seem very n00by.
I did do a search but to no avail.
I don't get Hamachi.
You download it, you join a server... then what?

Sorry if I'm asking something stupid or something that's been asked loads before, but I'd like to play online and, heh, I don't get it :P

Chatterbox / Off for a while..

« on: August 05, 2009, 03:07:25 PM »

Most people probably know this, but just in case any tourneys start that I've signed up to, just thought it'd be a good idea to let you all know I'm off for 2 weeks well deserved (in my opinion) holiday, on a small Greek island.

See you on the 20th!

But what are the Hex Plates for?

They confuse me XD

Contests / Flip Test Dummy - How Long Does It Take You?

« on: July 07, 2009, 11:54:50 AM »

I was just wondering, how long does it take people to kill Flip Test Dummy?
I know something like this was done with Sir K, but I find FTD more entertaining :P

My best is in the RW arena with Shinigami, it was OOTA in 7 seconds... But I'm trying'a get that time down.

Although I'm not sure if it counts cos Shini's a SHW.

Stock Showcases / Craaig ~ Stock Showcase

« on: April 09, 2009, 04:12:16 AM »

Okay, so I went back to Stock yesterday night, and decided on the most unoriginal idea ever. Remake Stealth Destroyer, as a stock bot.

So, here's Shock Destroyer.
It's called that, cos, well, it sounds remotely like the original, and shock sounds like stock. Yeah, running out of ideas. :P



Steel armour.

DSL TC Showcases / cephalopod ~ dsl stuff

« on: April 06, 2009, 01:56:47 PM »

Okay. Got this game few weeks back and quickly got bored of stock, so got DSL.

Here's what I came up with after a week or so.

Stealth Destroyer II


Super Heavyweight (that weight needs to come down :P)
10mm Plastic Armor
12 Battlepacks
4 NPC-T64's (fast for both sides) with Shiny hub caps
Dual-Perm motor, 150 cm disc, 2 60kg hammers, 2 hypno-teeth, 2 spike strips

AND IT STAYS STABLE. yay. Works well as a flipper-disc-thing.

Okay so I'm new to this, and when I try turning a component using shift or ctrl it does nothing? I'm using vista, if that helps...
