"Ok, but pretty generic."

submission: Shoot Kim Jong-il

It wasn't anything new. It was slow-paced, and don't tell me you're pushing the limits of Flash, because you're not; you just didn't take any sort of action to speed it up, like converting some of those vectors to bitmaps since you're using so many gradients. It could have run faster, and it could have loaded faster, and those details make a big difference.

Score: 7

"Decent, but it didn't hold my interest long."

submission: VoodooDoll Skateboarding

date: February 18, 2003

It was an OK game, but it wasn't really unique in any way, and the presentation was horrible.

Score: 10

"Excellent."

submission: Aura

I'm quite fond of this one. Very stylized. The movie itself definitely radiates a certain feeling, and I think that's the most important part of any piece of artwork.

Score: 5

"nice idea..."

submission: Steve The Movie

date: February 10, 2003

but horrible execution. It was really boring at times, and considering the animation and audio quality, it should have been a quarter of that size.

Score: 10

"Good stuff."

submission: College University pt 6-2

This has pretty much everything that makes the Simpsons and other equivalent shows good. Just ship it over to korea so some kids can animate it better for you, and put it on network tv!

Score: 6

"Not bad, but it wasn't exactly anything new."

submission: The Battlefield

date: February 7, 2003

Not that you did a bad job with it. But the stick deathmatch thing, it's not what you'd call "original." Also, the music loop wasn't that great, and the filesize was ridiculous-it was obvious that you didn't even make an attempt to compress it into a more space-efficient form.

You clearly put a lot effort and time into it, but it wasn't anything special.

Score: 8

"Very good."

submission: system interrupted

date: February 6, 2003

I have seen that story far too many times, and the lack of sound effects took away from the experience (though believe me, I know how hard that is, and I've put stuff out without sound effects because I just couldn't find good enough ones for free). However, I was able to overlook those things in view of the excellent job you did on pretty much everything else.

Score: 5

"I thought I had the only Lunar Lander game on NG"

""A" for effort..."

submission: Battle Tanx 2

date: February 1, 2003

but I was a bit dissapointed. It ran too slow, and there wasn't enough to prevent it from getting to a point where two tanks just faced each other and fired until one explodes. However, it was very well presented, and you clearly put in a lot of work, so you deserve a 10.

Score: 1

"I have no clue why this is on the front page."

submission: Metal Slug Rampage

date: January 27, 2003

It must be by mere association with such a great series of games, because this piece has no merits of its own. The control is terrible, the music is awful, and the gameplay is so bad it leads one to wonder whether you had any plan or if you just slapped a bunch of sprites together with some sloppy ad hoc code.
