  1. A Post-Nuclear Role-Playing Game

    Couple of things I really liked about Fallout... It was a very clever satire on a 1950s American vision of a looming nuclear holocast fueled by the onset of the Cold War. Now that's a mouthfull. Ron Perlman's marvelous voice work in the intro.
  2. DS modding

    MaxConsole would be a good place to start. Be very careful what you buy. There is a lot of crap out there.
  3. Ron Gilbert interview on Gamasutra

    An interesting read. I mostly agree with what he is saying about the state of storytelling in the industry. It has been a while since I played a game with a really absorbing, clever story. Most games seem to be based on a loose premise and rely on movie cliches or clumsy plot devices to move the story along. Since I couldn't possibly play every single game out there I honestly can't say there isn't any good storytelling. There must be the odd exception.
  4. Ron Gilbert interview on Gamasutra

    Just found this interview. Haven't had time to read it yet. http://www.gamasutra.com/features/20060630/murdey_01.shtml
  5. What DS games to buy

    Just started playing Phoenix Wright and I am loving it. Reminds me of the old PC adventure games. For some reason I keep thinking of Willy Beamish. The characters are just hilarious. Especially during the courtroom battles. Highly recommended if you like adventure games.

  7. ScummVM DS - Sam and max video

    http://us.codejunkies.com/shop/product.asp?c=US&cr=USD&cs=$&r=0&l=1&ProdID=750 I bought this one instead. Doesn't come with the 4GB HD but rather uses compact flash cards. This suits me better since I can have a whole bunch of CF cards with different things on them. Holding thumbs that they will release some better software to deal with the problems posed in the above review. Otherwise I guess I'll have to write my own .
  8. ScummVM DS - Sam and max video

    Could something like this not be used for scummvm and other homebrew instead of a Pass Me? http://us.codejunkies.com/news_reviews.asp?c=US&cr=USD&cs=$&r=0&l=1&p=17&i=8997&s=8 Not sure if it has been released yet and don't know if it is compatible with the DS Lite (I am assuming it would have to be). Edit: Just found a review... http://maxconsole.net/?mode=news&newsid=7135
