Megaball

Ball and paddle game where you destroy blocks at top of screen. Something feel of with the ball/paddle in this game and the power-ups are boring also.

Score: 1/5

The Secret of Monkey Island

Adventure game where you collect items and use them in strange ways to move forward in the plot. In the game one assume the role of Gaybrush Threepwood, a young man that try to get into a career as a pirate. As the game progress one fight sword fights with insults, search for treasure and also get a new nemesis in the form of the ghost pirate LeChuck. Never been a fan of this kinds of game really, some fun parts but overall I find it tiresome to pickup random items and guess my way to the answer.

Score: 2/5

Alien Breed

Top-down shooter that takes everything it can from the movie Aliens. Clean out each level of the space station and then take the lift down to the next one. You collect money that can be used to buy weapons or more ammo for all the aliens that keep spawning from the holes in the ground. Keys are needed for doors and some doors are one way so one need to be careful to not get stuck in a room with no keys :( . The only thing I really dislike about the game is that every levels end in a timed run to the lift. If you fail it is game over no matter how many re-spawns you had left.

Score: 3/5

I should mention that it’s not me that are playing in any of the movies of amiga games on this site. Most of the videos are from http://www.recordedamigagames.org , people that play whole games and record them. That is… crazy people ;) .

First Lego Gun

Built my first Lego gun. The parts beside it is the bullet, rubber charge and the parts for the top of the gun.

Gun is shown loaded in this second image. The rubber band around the front and along the barrel to the two wheels at the back. The bullet in the barrel and then the covers on top.

Final image with gun ready. It is fired by pulling the black axis out on the side.

For next build i will focus on getting a trigger working and also a better way to reload.
