I just finished Ico, and now this? Thankyou so much, you've made my night/week/eight-or-so-year dream come true.

This one sounds pretty amazing too: DIG DUG

North Corridor
As you make your way into the north corridor, the phrase "THIS HALL SELECTS NORMAL SKILL" manifests itself in front of you. The effect is quite disconcerting. To the north is a pulsating, rectangular slipgate with the word "NORMAL" etched on each side. To your right and left are stone carvings of some sort of demon. The path you followed to get here lies behind you to the south.

I'd love to play this game from the perspective of someone who doesn't know Quake like the back of their hand. I get the feeling it'd be a lot more difficult!

melton mowbray (adr), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 01:02 (twenty years ago)

Oh, one more paste, because it's too good to be true.


>look at right indentation
As you peer over to take a look, the words "YOU CAN JUMP UP HERE..." pop into your mind.

>go right
You jump onto the indentation, squeezing yourself in it. As you manuever your way into the tight passageway, the words "SHOOT THIS SECRET DOOR" appear in your mind.

>shoot door with shotgun
You fire at the door, which surprisingly results in some blood (or possibly blood-colored rust) to spatter off of it. After that moment of ickiness, the door moves backwards and slides into the wall, revealing a small alcove containing a single box. Right on cue, the words "YOU HAVE FOUND A SECRET AREA" pop into your head. You stifle the urge to yell out NO KIDDING MORON.

[Your score has just gone up by one point.]

Fuck, this looks NEAT.

Well, duh.

Awesome, awesome game.
