If you get stuck at any time you may find some of the information useful.</p> <blockquote><p>If you start the game using the '/cheat' flag, you can<br /> use the function keys (F1, F2, etc.) to cheat.<br /> Hint:Blip has no cap on his head, giving him a slightly<br /> smaller size and giving him improved dodging ability.<br /> This is particularly important when fighting against<br /> Lara Croft, as there are spots in which you are<br /> invulnerable if you are Blip.</p> <p><strong>Cheat Codes</strong>:<br /> ------------<br /> Start the game with the /cheat command line parameter to enable<br /> cheat mode. Then, press one of the following keys to activate the<br /> cheat function.<br /> Result Key<br /> -------------------------------------<br /> More ammo for player one - [F1]<br /> More cow bombs for player one - [F2]<br /> More lives for player one - [F3]<br /> More ammo for player two - [F5]<br /> More cow bombs for player two - [F6]<br /> More lives for player two - [F7]<br /> Level skip - [F9]<br /> Hints:<br /> ------<br /> More firepower and easy lives:<br /> ------------------------------<br /> In single player mode, you can get more firepower and more lives by<br /> setting the controls of both players to be exactly the same. For example,<br /> player one: Fire=Space and player two Fire=Space. By doing this, you can<br /> focus on one blob, but the other blob will move with and shoot with you.<br /> This kills more enemies and gets you to higher levels. A good idea is<br /> to set the special key to a different button for each player so that you<br /> can get double the cow bombs.<br /> Defeating Dario in fire form:<br /> -----------------------------<br /> To defeat this Boss, dodge his fire attacks and only attack him when he is turned.<br /> When he is weak he will use a very powerful combo which will cover the entire screen<br /> if completed and take off two on you if it hits. He will launch various fireballs.<br /> Try to get a hold of laser beams to take off damage. This Boss normally requires<br /> two to four lives to kill.<br /> Weapons:<br /> --------<br /> The six weapons available are the Gun, Machine Gun, Shot Gun, Flamethrower,<br /> Laser Beam and Cow Bomb. Each has different strengths and weaknesses:<br /> The attack speed rating is an estimate of about how many times that weapon<br /> shoots each minute.<br /> Gun: Average in large crowds and weak against Bosses (weak damage).<br /> Its attack speed is about 1000.<br /> Machine Gun: Good in large crowds and average against Bosses (medium damage).<br /> Its attack speed is about 1000.<br /> Shot Gun: Weak in large crowds and good against Bosses (medium-high damage).<br /> Its attack speed is about 45.<br /> Flamethrower: Very good in large crowds and against Bosses (high damage).<br /> Its attack speed is about 3500.<br /> Laser Beam: Legendary in large crowds and against Bosses (very high damage).<br /> Its attack speed is about 3000.<br /> Cow Bomb: One hit K.O. in large crowds and ultimate damage against Bosses<br /> (ultimate damage). Its attack speed is about 50.</p> <p>Secret weapon:<br /> --------------<br /> If you complete a level without being damaged or you have full HP and have not<br /> lost any lives after completing one level, you will get a Laser Beam (Blip) or<br /> a Flamethrower (Blop) for the next level. They are very useful for bonus levels<br /> to get extra help on the following levels.</p> <p>Reference: <a href="http://www.shippysite.com/index2.php?option=com_content&#38;do_pdf=1&#38;id=59" rel="nofollow">http://www.shippysite.com/index2.php?option=com_content&#38;do_pdf=1&#38;id=59</a> accessed April 09</p> </blockquote> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4015#post-44436 Wed, 29 Oct 2008 02:00:00 +0000 Txnnok 44436@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hey Rabbit I just got my Call of Duty Beta key for the PC.

It was a game called Line of Sight: Vietnam that got me into shooters. Despite it being several years old, it still holds its own with games that have only been out for a few years.</p> <p>As for Fallout 3, I'm really looking forwards to getting it delivered. The place I buy them from sends out pre-orders early so I tend to get them up to 2 days before the release, so there's only arounfd 11 days to go for me. </p> <p>It's actually being released ij the UK on Halloween, which is quite appropriate considering it's a horror shooter. i'm looking forwards to trying out the new combat system plus wandering around in a post apocalyptic environment. The developers are the same guys who made Oblivion, so we can expect to see some amazing scenery.</p> <p>As for the virtual reality thing....I can't wait.

The fact that it is also a sci fi based one makes me want Fallout more than COD. The third video was pretty the best one I think, but all were good. I definintly wanted to get it after I was through watching them.<br /> Its pretty cool when the previews or scenes of gameplay can pull your attention like that. When they eventually get virtual reality going those style going games are going to be the best ones.<br /> Oh almost forgot, The COD I mentioned I use to have wasn't COD, it was Splinter Cell. It was an ok game. It got me into playing shooter games. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4015#post-43747 Sat, 18 Oct 2008 00:19:53 +0000 thewebmaster 43747@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Wow!

I pre-ordered Fallout 3 the other week, but wasn't impressed with the official trailers for the game.

The code they send also unlocks some other material in game that wont be available once the game is officially released. (Though I think most of the advantages are for the multiplayer side of the game; for example you get to use a better grade of weapon right from the start, which will give you an advantage in game.</p> <p>Hi thewembmaster, what are we not supposed to ask (idle curiosity, lol) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4015#post-43581 Thu, 16 Oct 2008 02:20:08 +0000 Txnnok 43581@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Gamestop finally emailed me the key, but it was for the xbx360.

I've already sorted it. I pre-ordered the game two weeks ago and received a code for sorting out all the extras you can unlock by pre-ordering the game, plus got advanced access to the Beta test. I've been over to the COD5 web site and registered etc; however I'll probably give the Beta test a miss as I'm snowed under with lots of projects. I can't wait for it to be released though. If they have managed to improve on COD4: Modern Warfare it's going to be phenomenal.</p> <p>I've been immersed in first person shooters for several years now and tend to buy all the games that are released. It's only recently that I'm starting to branch out again (late last year) and buying other genres. Especially racing, RTS and RPG's. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4015#post-43514 Wed, 15 Oct 2008 01:19:17 +0000 Txnnok 43514@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hey Stephen, Do you like Call of Duty? Gamestop is giving beta keys out for the new one and you just need a trans action id, any trans id will work.

I find it really helps take me out of my world for a time, though I don't go for the online games that have all the hidden extras. If there was a one off charge like there is when you buy a DVD game, then that's okay, but the insidiousness of some of these online games really is worrying. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4015#post-43495 Tue, 14 Oct 2008 15:17:41 +0000 Txnnok 43495@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I am glad you brought that up Bigun. There was a reality game like SimCity that I forgot about and it's free. Its called Entropia. What made me think of it was the second life that you were talking about. A guy who plays it has an online character called Neverdie and his wife has one called Gamerchick or something like that. Anyway she ends up passing way in real life(very sad, but true) and he uses the money to buy online property. I only skimmed the links, but I believe he has gotten back half his money so far. <a href="http://www.gamezone.com/news/05_09_06_01_16PM.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.gamezone.com/news/05_09_06_01_16PM.htm</a></p> <p>My main point was the immersion into the gaming world. He had a son and was out of work and spent a very large amount of money on a hunch. Your talking about gambling your kids life to on a game. I'm sure depression had something to do with but, wow a 100,000 dollars.</p> <p>Being a father of a teenager doesn't allow me to be able to slip off to virtual world and stay there and I realize what I write around here isn't normal, but then my life isn't normal. If I went into a regular medical practice with my paper work, Mri's , and x-ray's and you didn't know why I was there, Your first thought would be that I was there to get narcotics, just because of the nature of the beast. I know cause I've done it before and was only there to get antibiotics for a throat infection.<br /> I think it all boils down to why your are escaping.I escape into virtual world for pain relief, but I can stay involved into a games long enough to blur the lines of reality and fiction. It is a shame I can't, fiction is much more fun. </p> <p>Just noticed, she was a doctor and lost control? Not that her being a doctor matters, it is just the amount of time she invested in her future to throw it all away. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4015#post-43448 Mon, 13 Oct 2008 20:35:50 +0000 Whiterabbit-uk 43448@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>These games are getting scary. I have noticed a trend towards giving many of these online games away for free, but you only get the basic package. To take advantage of the many intricacies of these games you have to buy extra's which do mount up. The peioole running these games must be making a killing once they've recovered the initial start up costs and paid off the developer of the game. </p> <p>The story you retell above Bigun, is really sad. I do hope the young lady sorts herself out. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4015#post-43425 Mon, 13 Oct 2008 17:31:00 +0000 Bigun 43425@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Txnnok</p> <p>This is a true story. I am very close to all of the individuals in the saga. The principal character is a young lady in her early 30s, married (divorce pending) with 3 children (ages 6 through 13).</p> <p>The main character began "playing" a game called "Second Life" (like SimCity) sometime this past winter. We don't know exactly when because she hid her game play by leaving the house under many different false pretenses and spending hours in the bathroom with her new gastrointestinal pathology - self diagnosed and as false as everything else.</p> <p>By mid-spring everyone knew what was going on. Yet, she continued denying everything. She was addicted to computer use and "Second Life". The "Second Life" game became real in all aspects. She converted real U.S. dollars in to the Second Life (SL)play money - and has spent several thousand dollars (real)on make believe vacations. Among other things she purchased a make believe house. She is paying out a little over $600 a month in maintenance fees on her make believe house and lawn. She has purchased three sea gulls and an unknown number of waves for her ocean front water.</p> <p>The list goes on seemingly forever. The tragedy may never end. She deserted her husband,children, and medical practice. These things have been replaced by a make believe marriage to a person that she only knows through her SL Internet game.</p> <p>I have seen simular cases to the one above in my medical practice. None of those cases have been as severe as the one above - or have they?</p> <p>Think Mom. Think hard about the few things that you have written. Are they normal? </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4015#post-43400 Mon, 13 Oct 2008 07:39:00 +0000 Whiterabbit-uk 43400@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hi Victorianne,</p> <p>Follow the link below and then try the middle link:</p> <p><a href="http://www.megagames.com/news/show.cgi?&#38;idtype=freegames&#38;database=275&#38;section=downloads&#38" rel="nofollow">http://www.megagames.com/news/show.cgi?&#38;idtype=freegames&#38;database=275&#38;section=downloads&#38</a>;</p> <p>If it doesn't work let me know and I'll search for more links</p> <p>regards</p> <p>Stephen</p> <p>p.s. nice one Txnnok </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4015#post-43396 Mon, 13 Oct 2008 02:26:41 +0000 Txnnok 43396@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>That sounds like a good idea.

I've got enought to fill a DVD lol. It must be a real pain working with dial up. I couldn't do without broadband anymore because I download so much every week. The largest download I've ever downloaded was around 2.4Gb, which took a few hours to download. I'd love a 10Mb connection, but the extra cost above the connection I have which is 4Mb is prohibitive. Definitely not worth the extra cash just for a faster download speed. Anyway, the connection I'm on isn't really 4Mb because I'm quite a long way from the provider.</p> <p>Regards</p> <p>Stephen </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4015#post-43281 Sat, 11 Oct 2008 02:40:26 +0000 NolafromNZ 43281@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Stephen, It has taken me a couple of days to download these games, and I have only played the first 2 so far, but they are great games. I'm very impressed with them. Thank you so much. </p> <p>Installing Zelda looks so involved, I haven't done that yet, but I will soon as I have got the Blip and Blop bug out of my system. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4015#post-43216 Thu, 09 Oct 2008 22:57:25 +0000 Whiterabbit-uk 43216@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Here are three games to keep you occupied for the run up to the weekend’s games, and they will hopefully be my last posting until Sunday around midnight (assuming we get games on Saturday and Sunday). The first is a straightforward platform game called <strong>Super Mario Blue Twilight DX</strong> and the second is a platform shooter called <strong>Blip and Blop – Balls of Steel</strong>, which is quite addictive, and the third one called <strong>Zelda Forever</strong>, is a platform puzzler which I wasn’t going to post for reasons I explain below, but decided to for those who have requested more puzzle games. </p> <p><strong>Super Mario Blue Twilight DX</strong>: (25.25Mb)</p> <p>I don’t know about you, but I’ve come to enjoy playing the odd platform game; mainly as a break from the power games such as Crysis, Call of Duty 4, Assassins Creed, The Tom Clancy games and Need for Speed Pro Street, because they actually drain a lot of mental energy when playing them, so a simple platform game like the one you can get for free called Super Mario Blue Twilight DX, is just what the doctor ordered, lol. It comes under the banner of official demos on the filefront download site, but it is actually a full version game. There may not be masses of levels, but the ones you get should keep you entertained for a while; but just in case they don’t, I’ve added two more games for you to download. :) </p> <p><strong>Quote</strong></p> <blockquote><p>Super Mario: Blue Twilight DX is a non-profit unofficial fangame based on the Mario universe. It combines elements from 3D Mario titles with classic, 2D gameplay, set in Halloween-themed levels. The original game, Super Mario: Blue Twilight (MarioWeen for short) was developed in the span of two short weeks and released on October 31st, 2003. MarioWeen DX was slated for an October 31st, 2004 release, but what was once a small upgrade (an extra level and an extra boss) quickly snowballed to a much larger game that pushes the clunky little game to it's limits. </p></blockquote> <p><strong>Features</strong>:</p> <p>• 7 levels, plus 4 hidden levels<br /> • 4 bosses, plus 2 hidden bosses<br /> • Concept Art, Scrapped Levels<br /> • Text-based Director's Commentary<br /> • Plenty of Easter eggs<br /> • Revised level designs over the original game<br /> • Date activated secrets<br /> • Playable Luigi</p> <p>The MarioWeen 1.04.1 patch was released to fix a couple of bugs and complaints people have had about the game; as well as adding a new option to change the screen resolution, for those of you with larger desktop monitors. Thankfully the patch has been fully integrated into this version of the game.<br /> <strong>Background Story&lt;/strong</p> <blockquote><p>It was a cool night at the Mushroom Kingdom. It was the sort of calm that always fell over the castle after the defeat of the Koopa King, Bowser. Most people were in bed or heading there - as the day's celebration had tired everybody out. Even Mario and Princess Peach were on their way to their chambers for some much needed rest. Suddenly, the sky darkened as fog swept the land out of nowhere - and the moon turned red. A gust of wind blew out nearby candles.<br /> From the sky, came a winged gargoyle. With speed he swooped down, grabbing the Princess Peach tight in his claws - and shot off into the sky again; before Mario could even react. Unfortunately for Mario, there is no rest for the weary; he must save the Princess once again from the clutches of King Bowser! But was it really Bowser? Legend tells of a castle that appears only on Halloween night, filled with monsters and other strange demons. It's evil spreads across the land, turning the moon red. But such tales are only told to children, so that they fall asleep at night, right?</p></blockquote> <p></strong><strong>Download Link</strong>:</p> <p><a href="http://files.filefront.com/Super+Mario+Blue+Twilight+DX+v1041+Full+Install/;6352644;/fileinfo.html" rel="nofollow">http://files.filefront.com/Super+Mario+Blue+Twilight+DX+v1041+Full+Install/;6352644;/fileinfo.html</a></p> <p><strong>Images</strong>:<br /> <a href="http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&#38;q=super+mario+-+Blue+twilight+DX&#38;btnG=Search+Images&#38;gbv=2" rel="nofollow">http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&#38;q=super+mario+-+Blue+twilight+DX&#38;btnG=Search+Images&#38;gbv=2</a></p> <p><strong>Video</strong>:<br /> The second video shows footage of the bosses, so if you don’t want to spoil the mystery of what bosses you’re going to come across don’t watch the video.</p> <p><a href="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=KxVuFoSIQ3k&#38;feature=related" rel="nofollow">http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=KxVuFoSIQ3k&#38;feature=related</a><br /> <a href="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=idCi_LmtSys&#38;feature=related" rel="nofollow">http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=idCi_LmtSys&#38;feature=related</a><br /> <a href="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=1h1ROKY4fdQ" rel="nofollow">http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=1h1ROKY4fdQ</a></p> <p>========================================================<br /> <strong>Blip and Blop – Balls of Steel</strong>: (43.4Mb) though you’ll need 126Mb for the install.</p> <p>Blip &#38; Blop is a free arcade 2D shooting game similar to games such as Gryzor and Metal Slug. You’ll recognize some of the bad guys because they bear a striking resemblance to some well known computer game characters such as evil Snuffs, mighty Scare bears, vicious Snorkis and the terrifying Dorkemons, lol.</p> <p><strong>Download Link</strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.megagames.com/news/html/freegames/blip&#38;blop-ballsofsteel.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.megagames.com/news/html/freegames/blip&#38;blop-ballsofsteel.shtml</a></p> <p>=============================================================</p> <blockquote><p>I wasn’t going to post the following game for a few reasons detailed below, but because I’ve been asked if I can post more puzzle games I decided to add it to the list. This game is a platform puzzler based on the Zelda franchise. It’s quite a good game, but there are two or three instances where you will need to watch what you are doing when you fist install and then start up the game, so as to prevent your browser being opened or a tool bar being installed.</p></blockquote> <p><strong>Zelda Forever</strong>: (27Mb -36.7Mb required for install)</p> <p>Care needs to be taken when installing this game; otherwise you’ll get a toolbar installed. When you run the installer and then click on the next button, make sure you uncheck the box that asks if you want the Zelda toolbar (Super Mario toolbar) installed. By default it’s checked, so if you blindly click to install the game you’ll end up with an unwanted tool bar (well, that’s assuming you don’t want it, lol). Once the game is installed you’ll find a couple of extra short cuts installed onto the desktop as well as the games short cut. (all three games install shortcuts in the start menus applications menu, though Zelda will be found inside the <em>Banesoft</em> folder..</p> <p>On starting the game your firewall will (<em>or should if you’ve got it turned on</em>) pick up a <strong>phone home dialer</strong>, which, if you allow, will take you to the developer’s home site. I would advise that you block this immediately so that you don’t have to worry at it when you play it in the future. To start the game you’ll find a pane attached to the right side of the main window. It says <em>press here to start</em>. That’s all you have to do to start the game. The menu options cannot be seen on the main page. They are accessible by using the ‘down’ arrow/cursor key to select options or quit. You can also select Introduction watch an intro’ to the game; which is worth watching at least once. The link that says <em>Secret Coins</em> also needs to be avoided as it takes you to another site that looks like one of those gambling sites, though it’s disguised as a free games site - (which hasn’t been classified by the <em>Web of Trust – WOT</em> yet, so I can’t comment on its safety)</p> <p>You’ll find all the key bindings to play the game are listed in the options menu. Apparently the game also support a joy stick. :)</p> <p><strong>Quote</strong>:</p> <blockquote><p>Welcome to the world of Legend of Zelda.
