no takers for my lonely snail at 65?

I really wanna know the snail but have no idea.

i've been googling, nothing so far. the rugged section beneath the snail is throwing me from thinking its one of the JSW clones

good ol' automata.
― remorseful prober (grimly fiendish), Thursday, 30 October 2008 13:15 (seventeen years ago)
ah, bollocks, that was a silly picture to try to link to. go click the link instead. then download and play. be warned: the first thing that happens is the snail will zoom into the wall, without you touching anything, and die.
― remorseful prober (grimly fiendish), Thursday, 30 October 2008 13:16 (seventeen years ago)
aargh i've heard of that one too.
― Ant Attack.. (Ste), Thursday, 30 October 2008 13:17 (seventeen years ago)

The popcorn one is Spare Change:
I knew it on Commodore, but this is basically the same. Totally awesome game! Some googling reveals that it's supposed to be set in a video arcade - huh!
― Doctor Casino, Thursday, 30 October 2008 15:17 (seventeen years ago)
ooh never heard of it but i'll give it a wham when i get home
if nothing else this thread has opened my eyes to some fascinating old titles.
― Ant Attack.. (Ste), Thursday, 30 October 2008 15:19 (seventeen years ago)
(The popcorn machine doesn't show up until the very last few seconds.)
― Doctor Casino, Thursday, 30 October 2008 15:20 (seventeen years ago)

― snoball, Thursday, 30 October 2008 15:25 (seventeen years ago)
no, you bam, 65 was toilet truble, but you seem to be trying to appropriate it for your 66 ;)
"spare change" looks SO AWESOME. i know nothing about it. i'll have to check it out.
― remorseful prober (grimly fiendish), Thursday, 30 October 2008 15:28 (seventeen years ago)

65 Body Harvest ?
― Ant Attack.. (Ste), Thursday, 30 October 2008 17:25 (seventeen years ago)
Re: Spare Change, it's a great thing about old games from when you were a kid that you kind of have no way to tell the difference between things that only you and five other people played, and ubiquitous popular classics... what you had was what you had, and in the pre-Internet days that was about it! So it's a surprise to discover that Spare Change is so obscure - happy to share it though. :)
― Doctor Casino, Thursday, 30 October 2008 17:28 (seventeen years ago)
66 is body harvest!! : D
― coznebb (cozwn), Thursday, 30 October 2008 17:47 (seventeen years ago)
Spare Change, i'm baffled at this game, how do I comlete a level. i just kept piling tokens into the jukebox and refilling the token machines, eventually they just showed as OUT and the zerks were left wandering around doing nothing.
??
― Ant Attack.. (Ste), Thursday, 30 October 2008 17:58 (seventeen years ago)
complete a level, even
The goal is not to entertain the Zerks - though you can spend some of your tokens in the machines to distract them - but to fill up the white boxes in the middle with tokens.
― Doctor Casino, Thursday, 30 October 2008 18:09 (seventeen years ago)
i did that just then, which got me into the zerk show lol
but after 3 round trips of filling up those boxes and entertaining the zerks i'm still on level 1. and how do i fill up the phone ?

61, 1080 snowboarding???
― Everyone is a Jedi (Will M.), Thursday, 30 October 2008 19:11 (seventeen years ago)
^^^ going in the right direction, but it isn't.
― snoball, Thursday, 30 October 2008 19:12 (seventeen years ago)
...720 snowboarding?
is that even a thing? haha.
― Everyone is a Jedi (Will M.), Thursday, 30 October 2008 19:17 (seventeen years ago)
lol, it's not a snowboarding game.
― snoball, Thursday, 30 October 2008 19:20 (seventeen years ago)
Game mechanic is similar though. The character in the bottom left of the screenshot is standing on a board.
― snoball, Thursday, 30 October 2008 19:21 (seventeen years ago)
oh... wait... that game that starts with psy? psybadek? no, that was on ps1.
― Everyone is a Jedi (Will M.), Thursday, 30 October 2008 19:24 (seventeen years ago)
I was going to say jet grind but I've never played that game and assume that it looks better/different.
