WELCOME TO VERMI'S 2005 VINTAGE RPG MAKER COCK MOO GAME!Okay, so for those of you who haven't been in the eliminator thread lately...
t:video-game-eliminator-round-1-three-two-one-fight?p=4509038#p4509038It was mostly standard RPG fare, but a lot of the characters were based on the people i knew on Global Nintendo and there were game character cameos by the bucketload, there were also a lot of in jokes about perverted badgers and cats with small tails (it's not the size that matters etc...). Worked pretty well actually, pretty much every in game object could be inspected as i made everything clickable. Also, as the game progressed, i was getting a lot better with the RPG Maker tools as the latter stages were much more technically accomplished and i was doing some pretty complicated things by the end (cut scenes, transparent floors, movable boulder puzzles, edited sprites, a Mario Kart race with proper overtaking which was simulated by making slight variations in the routes of the various kart sprites, hence some would appear faster than others).
We were discussing a game i made using RPG Maker 2000 way back in 2005 (which was even featured in an issue of NGC Magazine). I had a couple of requests to try it and for the last day or so, i have been searching high and low for a hard copy which for a time, i wasn't sure was even still in my possession.
But alas, i have found my old folder which contained two hard copies and an instruction leaflet.
I have now uploaded the various files to a host, and judging by the instructions i wrote at the time, here's how things need to be.
First download these two files and put them in a folder (mark it step 1)...http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=113 ... 5474068997http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=045 ... 8733487663Then, download these files and put them in a second folder (marked step 2)...http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=154 ... 9894215482http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=530 ... 4242655792http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=448 ... 1872516262http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=020 ... 9149659120http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=904 ... 8276766256From here, my written instructions can take over as i have scanned them for you guys to see.----------------------------------------------
*WARNING TO ALL USERS*
The game was made using RPG Maker 2000, and ran on Windows XP, i honestly have no idea if any of you will be able to get this thing working due to the fact that it is now almost 15 years old, so this whole thread is something of a shot in the dark. So then, should any of you wish to give this a try, then feel free to do so, as i said, there's no guarantee anyone will be able to get it up and running, but the downloadable files above is everything which was on my hard copy disc, and i was able to use that fine back in the day.
If by some miracle, you do successfully get to play it, then be sure to click on everything, explore everywhere, ignore the fact that hundreds of copyrights have probably been violated, and don't give up in the first dungeon which is basically a bit of a grind fest as you have to fight a whole bunch of mice in a row (i wasn't very good technically when making that as it was the first bit i made).
Good luck folks.
