Nominee's for a rather... strange interactive war tavern story...
 

Que Passa!!!!

(Don't Worry: I plan on finishing the last chapter of "M is for the maiming" before I start this story, but I desided to get prepared before I did so...)

I was checking out abandonware recently and meeting a bunch of old videogame pals I haven't seen for a while. Specifically, Cosmo (From Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure) Commander Keen (From Commander Keen) Jill of the Jungle (From... Jill of the Jungle) and Johnny Dash (From Monster Bash.) And as I threw rocks at members of the undead, a rather strange idea came into my head: What if all those old ID, Epic, and Apogee shareware characters got together in a reality TV show reminecent of Survivor(kind of ironic, since I haven't seen an eposode of Survivor in my life... but I HAVE seen parodies, so I think I know enough to make it funny... Expect a lot of "Eating rat" jokes.)...

...HEY, COME BACK HERE! I PROMISE TO MAKE IT GOOD!!!

Anyway, I plan on making it interactive by allowing YOU the readers to vote people off. Also, I'm accepting nominations for vid game characters to compeate. Here are the characters I have so far:

Jazz Jackrabbit (Don't go easy on him just because we're all his fans.)
Commander Keen (He can kick Dexter's butt.)
Cosmo (Can his suction-cup hands keep him from being voted off?)
Johnny Dash (He's a cross between Buffy the Vampire slayer, and Dennis the Menace, for those of you who haven't heard of him.)
Jill of the Jungle (Johnny SAYS he can kick her butt... Now we'll find out for SURE!)

I'm aslo thinking on including Duke Nukem, Halloween Harry, and Hugo(From Hugo's house of horrors, among other games.), but I'll just let you guys deside who gets in. Keep in mind, you can nominate your favorite character, OR villian(Bad guys might keep it interesting...) Just be sure to mention the game that they were featured in so I can do research.

Claw.

Que Passa!!!!

Hocus Pocus: Gee, how could I have forgotten to put him in. It would be cool to have a guy with magical abilities in there...

Captain Claw: It took some thinking, but I'll throw him in, seeing as how I loved his game.

And I'd like to add one more character I forgot about into the list: Willy Beamish (From The adventures of Willy Beamish. It's a real fun quasy-adult adventure game that I happen to love.)

While I'm here, I also forgot to mention: I'm planning on having about 12-15 contestants(any more and it might get too long.), but I'll listen to anyones suggestions before I deside who stays and who goes.

Rif from Inherite the Earth!

Baron Baldric of Mystic Towers. I guess.

Okay, so I just got that from an old cd I have with sharewares on it. I've never really played that game. So what? ;p

Devan Shell, Kirbeh, and Megaman X. Trent Hawkins, of Tyrian and Tyrian 2000, Yoshi, and some chars from OMF2097. Star Fox McCloud, Xan Kriegor, um, the DOOM marine, and Capt. Falcon. Oh, and Sanjuro Makabe. Ah, what the frell, Mario and Luigi. And Samus Aran.

Let it be known that I hate Survivor. I'm just giving names because I enjoy being annoying. Therefore, this is probably going to be the first, last, and only time I reply to this thread.

I've never seen a single episode of Survivor in my life. Just like Batty.

You have to put Rif in! ITE was the best game ever!

Hey,Final Fantasy 7 is PRETTY old....=D;;;
 

Cloud Strife - Final Fantasy 7

BaddÃ(-)es,too?:D

Sephiroth - Final Fantasy 7

If not,check out FF6....^_^;;;;
Locke is cool...^-^

Halloween Harry ... now THAT's old.
LOL, stick Spaz in there too ...
I've never seen Survivor either, but I can't imagine Spaz on a TV show ...

And how could I forget... Jumpman!

OMG, its like you ppl have all the same games as me.

Throw Baron Bladric in, he can shoot and jump, and he is certainly different from all the characters added in so far, which makes it more interesting.



Also, why dont you include Pickachu, that'll be intersting:-)

You should have polls for who to be voted off =P. I'm pretty sure you can just edit the first post's poll as the story progresses and more people get kicked off.

Que Passa!!!!

I already have a plan for the voting off proccess, as well as an idea to further the Surviver experience by allowing anyone who wants to to write interviews with those voted off. (You know, ask them who they think is going to win, why they think they got voted off, and personal information... like, say, asking Commander Keen if the Bean with Bacon megarocket ever makes a funny smell when he kicks it into hyperdrive, being that it's made out of old cans and stuff. -Stuff like that.) The majority of my parody is based off of one WB online did once called "Toon Marooned"(Featuring the Looney tunes, of course. Tweety won, Daffy came in a close second.)

I also have downloaded One Must Fall, Jumpman, and Inherit the Earth(Being the only three games out of the list that I have never experienced.). Keep in mind that the character personalities will be based on my representation of them, of course.

I'm pretty sure it's illegal to download ITE... I'm not sure if OMF and Jumpman have been released as freeware, though.

Que Passa!!!!

It's OK, I found it on abandonware. In fact, practically every game I'm useing I could either 1) Find on abandonware, or 2) research on fansites/gamefaqs.

Battyyyyyyyyyyyyyy,is Final Fantasy 7 or 6 okay now,or not?='

Que Passa!!!!

I'll have to check out Final Fantasy fan sites before I can get to you on that, but I'll see.
(I DO like final fantasy, but I must admit, I'm not really up on it's history, and I've never played FF6 and 7 beyond demos at Fred Meyer. It's going to be tricky, but not impossible...)

What about Guybrush Threepwood from Monkey Island? Or.. the Purple Tentacle (yeahh, a bad guy!) from Day Of The Tentacle?

Actually, Abandonware is illegal....

OMF is freeware. Epic relinquished it a year or two ago.

Go to www.omfuniverse.tk to find it.

WHEEFUN *goes off to blow up more bots*

Hey, you're still taking suggestions, right?

'Cuz I want to enter... (drumroll please)

Chip from chip's challenge!

Yoshi
Xargon
Yoshi
Some Lemmings
Yoshi
Spaz
Yoshi
Sonic
Yoshi
Tails
Yoshi
Knuckles
Yoshi

Yea! Lemmings!

You could start with about twenty lemmings, who spontainiously explode thourghout the story. They'd all count as one person (e.g. someone votes for the Lemmings to leave), but they'll all die at the final four or so.

And it really needs more female characters. How about you put in that wolf girl from ITE (The one that nearly kills you with a spear after you (accidently) catch her taking a shower =P).

Que Passa!!!!

(Looks at Unknown Rabbits post, gasps in disbelief, and reseaches this newfound info.)

Geeze, learn something new everyday... /\:(/\

(P.S. I like the lemmings idea. If I use them, there will be one for every "Action" I can think of... Kind of like Smurfs...)

About ITE, why don't you just download the abandonware, I won't play my version for a week or so, then you'll delete your downloaded copy, and we'll say that I loaned it to you:D. Every law has a loophole. It's a really great game, like the old Sierra Kings Quest games only... better.

Que Passa!!!!

I know, I've seen the reviews.

And since it is an adventure game(The true name for "Kings Quest" types of games) I can see that I will probably like it, being as I LOVE all those adventure games.(Especially the Gobliiins, Space Quest, and Eco Quest series... Hmmm... Gobliiins- now THERE'S an idea- Mag, Tech, and Ath in the story. /\:)/\ )

Okay then, I simply won't use my copy of ITE for a while =P.

I hope I don't go to hell for this...

Hey, why don't you make a list of the entries that you're including so far?

Contestants so far...
 

Que Passa!!!!

These are the definate "Gonna be in" characters:

The lemmings(Or rather, some of them. Those guys are as plentiful as hairs on a wig.)
Jazz Jackrabbit
Commander Keen
Cosmo
Johnny Dash
Jill of the Jungle
Hocus Pocus
Captain Nathanial J. Claw
the Purple Tentacle
Spaz Jackrabbit
Baron Baldric
SOMEONE from Inherite the Earth! (Haven't desided who yet.)
SOMEONE from OMF2097 (Likewise.)
Jumpman
Chip
SOMEBODY from one of the Final Fantasy games. (Geeze, I reallu have to deside)

I think that this list should suffice for a good story(Unless someone better can replace one on the list.). Thanks for all your help /\:D/\. If your character did not get in, don't fret, I might put in a cameo or two...
I've had second thoughts about Willy Beamish, as his game is rather... raunchy.(His pet frog's name is Horny.) Also, about Yoshi, which one are you talking about: Yoshi's Island Yoshi, or Yoshi's Story Yoshi?

THE Yoshi. The green one from Mario. The one on the roof of Mario 64. The one you get to ride in Mario Sunshine. The one from Yoshi's Island. The one from yoshi's story, too. The yoshi in Super Smash Brothers, and SSBM.

I think you are getting the idea...

Mega Man
Ness from Earthbound (Wait...that might be too obscure)
That guy from Xargon
Trent Hawkins from Tyrian 2000 (He's been said, but oh well)
Mega Man X
Zero
The ball from Pong

Lol, you can't forget the real classics.

Que Passa!!!!

True, but I always thought that the pong PADDLE had a better character... IT didn't get pushed arround.

(Fun fact: Pong was NOT the first arcade video game. That honor goes to a little program called "Computer Space". Pong WAS the first real big hit, however.)

Hey, throw Devan or Dark Shell in there...villains help spice up the story.

Hmmm... so this is just not happening, right?

B. J. Blankowitz - The guy from Wolf 3D - A large man with a larger gun, he won't take any crap from ANYBODY!!!

Snake Logan - Biomenace - Get a Biomenace demo...

Trent Hawkins - Tyrian - He's been mentioned...

Charlie the Duck - Charlie the Duck - He's from a game made in 2000 by Wiering Software. The game is cool, and now it's free!

The Advisor from Theme Park - Theme Park - Self-explanatory.

Benny Bookworm - Word Rescue - Pretty obvious...

Mortimer McMire (Spelling of last name forgotten) - Commander Keen - Keen's arch-nemisis, all because he has one IQ point higher then Keen. (Pop quiz: What is Keen's IQ number?)

Skunny - Various Skunny Games - A squirrel. 'Nuff said.

Arkantos - Age of Mythology (If people can nominate characters from Final Fantasy, I'm allowed to nominate a character from a game made in 2000, aren't I?) - Greek Demigod.

Use anyone you want. I just want to see Hawkins get in.

-ThO

The kids from Word/Math Rescue.
Skunny (from Skunny Kart, talk about old)
The square from the Atari game Adventure.
Link and/or Zelda
The main hero from Dragon Warrior
Pac-Man
An Alien from Space Invaders
The Dopefish
