The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Hey, I was looking around on an old indie developer's forum I used to post on, Vertigo Games, and I found this. Ron's Adventure.
Ron's Adventure.. I'd COMPLETELY forgot about that game for a good few years. At least as long as I've been a member of this forum.

It was basically an Old-School styled platformer I made back in 2006. The story was some bad buy kidnapped my sister. I hate my sister, but I guess I have to save her anyway, or my parents will be pissed. (It's based around me and my sister, lol.)

It had a couple of cool little ideas in it, but it had some pretty bad controls, and annoying bugs keeping it back. It used MIDI snes music I got off of VGMusic. The graphics very from kinda okay, to giving me eye cancer.

and OH GOD, THE GRAMMER!!!  :spit

Here's the game, if you wanna try it out HERE.

I just played through it again tonight. It has a lot of problems, but it's also just cool looking back at stuff you did a long time ago. You know, I haven't really dabbled in any game development for the last 3 or 4 years. MAybe I can build up the strength to take another whack at it.

... or maybe they'll just keep collecting dust, like PAST-O-RAMA.  :neutral

Heheheh, cute and fun! I am having a really good time playing it :p
I've always wanted to make little games like this. I have only had the time to learn basic programming, though :(

I liked it! It was difficult enough to be fun, and keep me on the edge of my seat. I liked the different 'zones,' too. The ice levels were hard, ugh :p Nice game :smile

A very interesting game!  The ice levels nearly did me in.  It is most certainly better than anything that I ever programmed with QuickBasic.  All that I was ever able to produce was a glitch-filled racing game that has since been lost and a variety of number-based puzzle games.  

Thank you for sharing your game with us.   :smile


Go ahead and check out my fanfictions, The Seven Hunters, Songs of the Hunters, and Menders Tale.

The game was fun. I especially liked the design and the gameplay of the water levels.

You put much more effort than I ever did in a game I was making. Doing the game's math I find OK, but actually drawing objects and designing levels and writing stats? Ugh.
