I kind of want to make a stealth-Joust DCC module and see how long it takes for my players to figure it out. Not very long once they mount their flying goose and get their lance I imagine.
Oh man, I guess I should have remembered. I love Moon Patrol. Williams developed its own breakthrough hit with the release of 1980's Defender, whose gameplay, horizontal scrolling, and dynamic color influenced many subsequent games. It was followed by a sequel in 1981, Stargate, and a group of popular and influential titles: Joust, Robotron: 2084, Sinistar, and the licensed Moon Patrol.
Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races. Maybe useful in “special snowflake” campaigns where no one reads your carefully crafted setting material. Instead you roll it out piecemeal as PCs bite the dust. “I really want to play a saurian warlock…sure, I’ll take a drink of that mystery potion.” Someone probably thought of this before.
Hey, I'm using Jeff and Brendan's 20 questions to help me get a feel for my upcoming Perdition campaign. Never done it before. Highly recommended. http://jrients.blogspot.com/2011/04/twenty-quick-questions-for-your.html http://www.necropraxis.com/2012/02/24/20-quick-questions-rules/
This is reminding me that I've been wanting the old He-man mini comic compilation and might just push me over the edge.
ReplyDeleteUh, same.

ReplyDeleteAlso interesting that Joust was Williams. I associate Williams with pinball, not video games.

They did Defender too IIRC. Edit: too late!
ReplyDeleteMust play D&D Joust.
