I've decided the IC Game Club game.

It is glorious and every single one of you are going to cry.

Please tell me it's Metal Gear NES.

Why do I keep getting you two confused? I think it's the vaguely similar color schemes of your avatars.

That and the fact that Persona drew them both.

And that we were both changed FOREVER by meeting Tim.

I really regret not getting a picture of us together. Exspecially as I am now, because BOY I am be a changed man, not just because of that 108 fella either.

Somehow I get the feeling it's gonna be Snake's Revenge, LOL.

(awesome FKW banners, btw... especially the MGS-looking ones.)

Hopefully, by the time FKW starts up, Silent Hill: Devil's Lyric, a homebrew game for the Virtual Boy, will be done.

whoa

How the hell are we supposed to play this?

My guess

Also, I'm very close to having all the shit I need for FKW '06.

I think that I'm going to sit down and finally beat Legend of the Mystical Ninja to celebrate. Yet another one of those Games That I Failed to Beat as a Kid.

You should all see my recreation of a piece of Castlevania art I'm doing. It's done in the style of stuff like this only it's about three to four times more kickass and not done in MS Paint. It happens to be wallpaper-sized to boot.

Also, someone here needs to get a Solid Snake mullet for the duration of FKW.

gonna have to celebrate my FKW on Mar. 14th- Subsistence Release with Limited Edition MG Saga DVD - hell hardcore yeah- Online Snaking!

but i got backup- finish Snatcher from the where I left off last year in FKW (yeah i feel ashamed for not finishing it every night)... And go buy Enthusia. (Can Enthusia be compared to Ridge Racer 4*music,style,leveldesign*- or is it a whole different ball park?)

boojiboy7 · Posts: 1104

I think enthusia might be my konami week celebrator as well. Just since I can be such a racing junkie.

FKW as the return of the dess?!?

Could there be much bigger non-konami specifc news for this week?!?

Despite my punctuation, I do honestly hope she returns.

See, we even have guest appearances, this is better than the Academy Awards.

Hmm I still haven't had time to plan anything.

TURN THE FORUM OFF NOW!

the drunken samurai · Posts: 4645

what for?

and damn you,you top post grabbing bastard.

boojiboy7 · Posts: 1104

It would just have to be the end result if Kojima actually showed up. I don't know that we could top it.

the drunken samurai · Posts: 4645

oh we most definetly could!

boojiboy7 · Posts: 1104

Well, Forum Axe could, I have no doubt about that. But the mind-melting that would occur from a Kojima visit would be something to behold.

I have some things in the works for FKW still. I hope I don't keep putting them off like last year. I barly did anything last year and what I did do was underwhelming.

Are we going to get a FKW '06 forum again?

This isn't really a Konami game, but it's close enough to be valid material for FKW.

I demand that you all play La Mulana. It's a doujin game that's a free-roaming platformer made to look like a game for the old MSX computer. The developer is obviously a huge Konami fan, given that he swiped the old logo and put "(C) KOBAMI 2005" on the game-related material. He even made up a manual for the game that looks completely authentic for the period. The game has a distinct Castlevania feel, as you start out with a whip, and you have to use the same sorts of timing tricks to beat enemies. The structure is sort of like the old Vampire Killer, really, mixed with some more recent ideas.

The only trouble is that the text is in Japanese. There are some NPCs that give you specific things to do, and it can be a little difficult to navigate at the beginning if you don't know the language. You'll miss incidental messages left here and there, too. It can be figured out pretty well with trial and error, though.

The download is here: http://naramura.kdn.ne.jp/msx3/g3project/lamulana/lamulana.zip

The Underdogs have a text file with the basics on getting started: http://files.the-underdogs.org//games/l/lamulana/files/lamulana.txt

That forum is long gone. But I can verify from memory.

EDIT: Jiji, that is pretty cool. It looks just like an old MSX game.

Yes we did. Good times were had.

Mr. Business · Posts: 1530

Anyone know a site with a decent collection of Konami sprites? I had one, but I lost it last year when my firefox blew away all of my bookmarks. I ask because I need a good sprite of Goemon, and ripping one from ZSNES is not as easy as I would have expected it to be.

boojiboy7 · Posts: 1104

So...

I have Enthusia. I also picked up WE9. And Castlevania of various shapes and sizes will carry me through other times.

Gradius V might just have to be there in the clutch if my trigger finger gets to itchin'.

Given that this is the first FKW I am actually participating in, I'm pretty fucking pumped.

the drunken samurai · Posts: 4645

im pumped too,i had my friend send me the rom to aria of sorrow.

i honestly didnt think finding GBA roms would be such a fucking hassle!

im definetly gonna get my metal gear on.

nocturnedelight · Posts: 430

Gradius V is pretty much the only Konami game I have in my collection that I haven't played much of, so it's gonna be all that for me! Unless I continue trying to get all the dog tags in MGS2S.

Note: I refuse to start SH4 without beating SH3, and I didn't have fun playing SH3.
Note, Again: Getting all the different modes of CV CotM is boring.

boojiboy7 · Posts: 1104

Gradius V will serve you well. Even if you are good at shmups (something I can get to, but never start at), it will keep you going for quite some time. And it is sexy.

You know, I was doing the same thing about 6 months ago, before my current work project started kicking me in the nuts. I didn't get very far at all, I'd only just made it into the school.

Even playing in my office, with the lights on, with tons of people around, didn't make it very easy to play. I'd often have to Pause the game, turn the TV off and breathe for a while before I was able to pick it back up.

Maybe I'll try and play through it again. See how far I get.

Dark Age Iron Savior · Posts: 3148

So.

For FKW, I would like to upload some of the much rarer Konami albums and such. Therefore, can anyone point out a good file hosting service akin to yousendit/rapidshare, but......you know, not as known/anal? Please? Even foreign language ones will do, as long as I can upload ~70mb rars.

Also, I'm considering recording some footage of some Konami games as played on my computer. Any suggestions, especially in terms of codecs?
