[Retro Style Round Up]

There’s been quite a few interesting projects over the past few weeks making it into the hallowed halls of our Retro Style Games forum (yup, we like those as well as remakes round these here parts) so I figured a front page post was quite in order to get the word (word up!) out there.
First off the block on this cool Sunday morning is the Pixel Joint forum project game thingy - tentatively titled “Pixel Joint: The Game” - it’s been bandied around now for around 3 years over on the PJ forums, but until now - hasn’t really got moving beyond a vague idea of who, what, where. Well, it looks like things are in motion - so you can roll your eyes over this link (http://code.google.com/p/pjgame/w/list) and find out what it’s all about, Alfie. Awooga, awooga: Forum Link Here (http://www.retroremakes.com/forum2/showthread.php?t=10651).
Viridian has once again coloured our forum an interesting hue by dropping his little feet into the retro style forums to announce a game play video of his Populous inspired work, Planitia. Now, where would we go about trying to find a video link on the internet I wonder? Ah, that’s right - on YouTube!
WPvideo 1.10 (http://www.skarcha.com/wp-plugins/wpvideo/)


You can of course, direct comments to our forum (http://www.retroremakes.com/forum2/showthread.php?t=10665), the YouTube thread (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-k53twbQhY) or indeed Viridian himself (http://www.viridiangames.com/blog/?p=441) if you choose.
Robotix is a multidirectional 2d gunny vehicle thingy (technical terms galore here, chaps) from Teasy, who nipped in to tease us with pictures and a download of episode one for your edification.* Go here to find out more (http://www.retroremakes.com/forum2/showthread.php?t=10679).
Oh, and there’s more from the not-entirely-Family Guy-obsessed Karcreat on our forums of Space Zap (http://www.retroremakes.com/forum2/showthread.php?t=9096), a Bluthian styled tribute to laser disc games of old. How about a work in progress video to moisten your eyelids with? Oh, alright - here it comes… it’s coming, honest… it’s here! (http://www.karcreat.com/RetResAnimatic2.avi) Word on the street is, it’s juggtacular!

Will you look at the nipples on that monkey? They’re not wrong!
Lastly from our forum, Jonathanmcc (who you might recall Spraydough mentioning in our weekly round up) has dropped a promotional thingy he wrote for his band into the forum. It’s in the style of Defender and you can find it…ummm… *rummages in sock drawer* here. (http://www.retroremakes.com/forum2/showthread.php?t=10689)
To bring us to a close, and me one step closer to my cup of tea… Timmeh, the effervescent bubbly poster of non-stoppiness over at his new home on Indiegames.com (http://www.indiegames.com/blog/) reports on a couple of 3 Punge (http://3punge.com/) entries that make tickle your entry. Sorry, I meant fancy.* Nekonikoban (http://www.indiegames.com/blog/2008/01/freeware_game_pick_nekonikoban.html) (don’t ask me to say that whilst drunk!) and Petit Strikers (http://www.indiegames.com/blog/2008/01/freeware_game_pick_petit_strik.html). We love Tim here at RR and we’re planning on finding a way to tap into his DNA, create many clone Tims so that we never have to post again. If one man can post so much, imagine what an entire army of Tims could do? Ooh, my eyes are going squizzy thinking about it.
