twh/f2 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Can we create a list of games where the player / hero does some funny or silly animation/reaction when the human player is inactive? examples * Boulderdash * International Karate Twh 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CharlieChaplin Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 - Mercenary (no animation, but reactions from Benson? talking to you...) - Sysiphos (both demo and full version) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emkay Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Not sure if that counts. In my game "Admirandus" a Pause Mode starts when the game is waiting too long, using the Players to show some animated PAUSE . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Sokoban clone on the Atari 8-bit in my opinion. Too bad nobody's made it NTSC compatible yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Download both versions (demo and full), if I remember correctly, they have different musics - and one of them is really good. Edit: Looks like I always spell that wrong: http://ftp.pigwa.net/stuff/collections/CharlieChaplin/SNDVID/Atari Game Sounds/822 Sysiphos.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I checked but couldn't recreate it but I seem to remember The Pharoah's Curse occasionally moving on it's own if you left it, but maybe that was just later levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I did a small idle mode on Block on Legs: First Steps, not quite the same but I did lots of amusing deaths on Gwobby Strikes Back! Including the chance he turns into a Ghost and then you continue playing as "Ghost Gwobby" sort of a rare extra life, happy times 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rybags Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Of course, how did that one slip by for so long? But unlike probably all others it was annoying as hell since he'd often just jump straight off and lose a life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I seem to recall FATAL GAME having and idle animation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
