Wow, check out this entry for uDevGame 2003!

Argonaut Download!

Great, fun game with cool graphics!! This has great potential. Think asteroids/EV but with openGL 3D graphics, and powerups.



Some levels are collecting crystals/blasting asteroids, later ones you participate in cool dogfights against the pirates. Yum. The graphics can be up to 1024*768, and on 16 bit ran well on my crappy 600mhz ibook rage graphics card. So cool!

Oh, and need I mention that its free?

Works here on 7B80, but its a bit buggy changing res/color depth. If you're getting weird artifcacts and stuff, try trashing the prefs. 1024*768 full screen 16 bit colors works fine here, I emailed the dev about this.

Yeah, argonaut would make a great engine for a new EV game...Chopper's fun, too.

But, as far as great potential engine/gameplay, I'd have to say Yoink takes the cake.

My bad...it's the dumb Stuffit Expander 8.0 that I have been meaning to update. God I hate Stuffit.

If Argonaut had better control, it'd be pretty cool... My ship always spins wildly out of control (as do the computer controlled ships).
