Warning Forever and other similar games
« on: July 13, 2008, 11:50:56 pm »

I know that this sort of game is about as far away from Dwarf Fortress as it's possible to get, but I'm a huge fan of Warning Forever.  I recently found out how to play it with an XBox 360 controller, making it even better.  Has anybody else here ever enjoyed this evolving boss rush shmup game?

I also discovered Fraxy this weekend.  It's similar, having a better variety of enemies (and an option to create your own) and a nice range of somewhat-upgradable weapons to choose from.

Does anybody know of any similar games besides WF and Fraxy?  I have heard good things about Boss In A Box, but can't get it to work on any of three machines I've tried it with.  I've also tried Protoganda, but it didn't float my boat like WF or Fraxy did.

I liked battleships forever, and this uses the same engine, so I'll play it.

As you journey to the center of the world, feel free to read the death announcements of those dwarves that suffer your neglect.

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the cosmos. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips, I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my veins. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk and free throw.

This talk of forever, reminds me of another game.
Thread derail= Trackmania Nations forever. A great (and free) game, I am not sure if it has anything to do with those other games you are talking about that end in forever.

There was one shooter game that had a ship consisting of a single square (that was the only part that took damage) and a energy barrier or something surrounding it. There was 4 or something different modes, but all of them were only bosses, like in WF.

It is rRootage apparently (a friend remembered it), I have never played it myself but it looked very fun, I think I'll download it now.

Something totally unrelated: No One Lives Forever (preferably the 2).

What about Fortress Forever the Team Fortress Classic mod for HL2?
