That game's always intrigued me. I got interested in the zed-x because of that one and ant attack, then found stuff like batman and head over heels. Cool platform!

I heard back in the days that platform was big. There are tons of people on basic programming languages that seem to know that platform. I guess it is the thing with basic is the ZX stuff?

Many of you will remember the name Raffaele Cecco. He programmed amazing titles for the greatest 8-bit machines of the 80s.
When he finally embraced the 16-bit era, he did this:

Hummmm.. I believe that you don't want to look at my GIANT ugly face anymore... :(

Ok!...

From the creative mind of Simon Phipps, the designer of Rick Dangerous, came, in 1992, WolfChild, a frenetic action platformer with super detailed graphics and pretty cool music from Martin Iveson, creator of the original Tomb Raider musical score:

Just add something like

Code: Select all

width="300px"
to the end of your image tags (assuming you're using HTML) and you'll be good :) I'm a fan of the pics and I think they should stay. To show their worth, I've even edited your first post to include a matrix of all the videos (with the pics) that you've done so far. I've had to leave the non-pic videos out.

With that being said, I've gone through and re-coded your posts to resize the images. All you need to do is this:

Code: Select all

<img src="&#91;URL TO IMAGE&#93;" size="300px">
Here's a valid example:

Code: Select all

<img src="https&#58;//lh4.googleusercontent.com/-UJN2UKDI8KU/VFwKY_3W1DI/AAAAAAAAF7E/RzOTE_XR1RY/w1061-h597-no/trials_fusion-thumbnail-pixelthing.jpg" width="300px">
Result:

Finally, after 6 years of waiting, Motocross Madness fans saw a proper follow up that included, out of the box, a friendly track editor: The Unleashed Editor. Let's take a look at some great stuff that fans continue to make with that awesome tool:

I actually thought the game was made pretty well. It seems pretty complex to make. However not knowing anything yet I am saying I think it looks pretty smooth and playable.

Another nice one. Thanks.

Just to note, I'm trying to continually update the first post in this thread with the updated videos (clicking each thumbnail will jump you to that Youtube page). I've ONLY been adding the ones with title pictures, though. So there are a few at the very start of the thread that aren't linked there. Figure it'll be good for anybody new to the thread.
