godslabrat Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 http://www.webpronews.com/manos-the-hands-of-fate-video-game-coming-to-ios-2012-07 If you don't know what Manos: The Hands of Fate is... well, Google is your friend. Just know that you can't truly understand it until you see it, and when you see it, you'll hate me for the rest of your life for introducing it to you. As far as the game goes, it looks pretty cool, and ranking up with the better NES-era platformers. So far, it's an iOS-only release, but apparently they're considering porting it to Android and XBL if it does well. Shame it's probably all high-level code. I'd love to have that on an NES or SMS cart. I guess I'll have to settle for trying to install it on an OUYA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animan Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) Heh, I like that The Giant Claw is in there as a boss. Yes, please let there be an OUYA port! Fun Fact: At one point, I planned on doing a 2600 homebrew game based off of "The Final Sacrifice". Edited July 21, 2012 by Animan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBO Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) Kinda funny, as the Giant Claw was never reviewed by MST3K, unfortunately And... why not a MST3K-based homebrew ? Kinda like... a hack of the Obelix 2600 game, with Asterix replaced by Joel, the romans replaced by Torgos, Gameras, Biff EmptyHead (Space Mutiny), etc... ? Or find an original game concept, but I have no idea at the moment... another topic on the subject of the Manos game http://www.atariage....-hands-of-fate/ Edited July 28, 2012 by OBO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) Kinda funny, as the Giant Claw was never reviewed by MST3K, unfortunately It was given a "MST3K" - like treatment though, I cannot vouch how good it was but seemed to rate well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LjjPO0OYCo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-V-aJnYZJM&feature=plcp Yeah they seem to be a MST3K rip off that pales in comparison but hey who could match the masters of riffing?
