This is a BIG day for BASIC Games... We have not one... not two... but three updated games ready for Download!
First, an updated version of $ale of the Century. The main game is based on the current Australian version, Temptation. The bonus game is my own creation.
Next, Deal or No Deal with the $5,000,000 board and some more Howie.
Finally, Press Your Luck 2007 featuring the boards and new dollar amounts from Game Show Marathon.
Download them NOW at basicgames.folff.com

[/quote]
Why WOULD they be? (Unless they're written in Java.)
No Java usually = No Mac.
-
None of the links to the new games work.
-
Well it wouldn't be a BASIC Games Update with out a technical glitch. The Games are now ready for download.
I'm not sure if they are mac friendly. You'll just have to download the runner off of my site and see.
Download them NOW at basicgames.folff.com

The Wikipedia page (http://\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learn_to_Program_BASIC\") for Learn to Program BASIC suggests that there was in fact a Mac version of the Runner. Unfortunately it's no longer on Interplay's site (nor is the Windows version, for that matter).
Even if a copy could be located, this page (http://\"http://www.sowholesale.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=6928\") lists System 6 the minimum requirement for the Mac version, so it's not likely to work on any modern Mac anyway.

Interplay? What the hell kind of Basic is this?

Interplay? What the hell kind of Basic is this?
[/quote]
It's on the (relatively) ancient side; this page (http://\"http://www.macresource.com/mrp/archive/199808.shtml\") pegs the release date at 1998. Apparently this flavor of BASIC was created primarily for the tutorials that came with it.
Needless to say we're not talking about anything remotely standard or up to date.

Cool downloads, Ryan! The new $ale Of The Century rocks! And so does PYL 2007!. I will download the new DOND tomorrow.
Keep up the good work at BASICGames,Ryan!

A problem involving the Fame Game portion of the Main Game Program for $ale of the Century has been fixed. The new Main Game program can now be downloaded at basicgames.folff.com
-
Thank you ,Ryan for the update on the new Main Game Program for $ale Of The Century. I am downloading it now.
-
Am I the only one having trouble getting these to work? All my comp said is something that Windows needs to know what program created this. There a download I don't know about? Any help please? Thanks.
-
Read the page closer - it offers up the base program on which all the packages run.

In fairness, I doubt that gwarman2005 meant to offend anyone; the quote in question is probably the most popular and concise way to explain why arguing on the Internet is often pointless.
That said, it also has no place on our board... figuratively, and now literally.

First of all, I love this new $ale of the Century. But I have two complaints:
1. The game (I believe) won't let me have a tie game, for when the 60 speed round ended in a tie, the program then said, "Return without Gosub".
2. Having the penalty cards from Temptation in the Fame Game was a novel idea. But I'd rather have the randomizer you had in the previous version & the last years of the American show.
Could you something about what I said in #1? And if you'd like you can put the randomizer back where it was.

The problem involving the Tie Breaker for the Main Game Program for $ale of the Century has been fixed. The new Main Game program can now be downloaded at basicgames.folff.com
As far as the randomizer goes, if Temptation would have used a randomizer I would have kept it. But, it doesn't so I didn't.

Maybe you don't mean to be, but you're rather self-involved. Why would he give a flip if you're mad or not? I'm sure he cares what the general public thinks, not just you. Have we forgotten how to say please and thank you (and not a flippant 'thanks anyway')?

Agreed. That was an incredibly asshatted comment. Granted, considering this is the same yahoo who edits Wiki articles incorrectly and then defends the edit as being "right to him, so it's right", we shouldn't be surprised.

Once, there was a stalled car in the middle of a busy street. Traffic was backed up for miles. Lots and lots of drivers were honking their horns, cursing and yelling at the driver to move his car. But the driver had no jumper cables, no towing mechanisms, not even a cell phone to call a tow truck.
The drivers continued to curse, yell and honk, but one driver did not. One driver, instead, took it upon himself to lend a hand to this driver, and help him get his car out of the street. He hitched the stalled car to the back of his pick-up, and drove, freeing the traffic.
I ask you. Who's behavior do you think was most effective?
Think about it. :)

Thank you, Allen. :) To continue your analogy, though, in this case, a good Samaritan DID try to lend a hand, several times in fact, and the stalled driver told him to screw, saying he knew that his car was supposed to work like this and he would move when he was damned good and ready.
So I ask YOU: who's the idiot here? :)

A small, quiet barfly once decided to make wagers with his fellow barmates. He bet the barmates that he could pick up the player piano in one corner of the room, and carry it across the room. The other barmates gawked at him and told him not to waste his time. Not to be discouraged, however, he walked over to the piano and set to work.
Needless to say, the man failed. The piano didn't budge. The other barmates continued to gawk, saying that he was wasting his time. The man was not discouraged, however. He held his head high to his barmates and said, "At least I tried."

...and then he had to pay up on $100 in bar bets. :)
A guy hears a knock at his door. He opens the door to be confronted by a common garden snail. The guy snarls "Get the hell out of here!", and the picks the snail up and throws it as far away as he can.
Three years later, the guy hears another knock at the door. He opens the door to be confronted by the same snail.
The snail says "What the hell was that about?"

A problem concerning 3 way ties in my Sale of the Century game have been fixed. The new version is ready for download at the BASIC Games website.
basicgames.folff.com

The Sale of the Century Main Game has been updated AGAIN! This time I broke the Main Game into 3 separate programs, which in hindsight I should have done in the first place. It is ready for download at the Basicgames Website: basicgames.folff.com
-
Apparently, Some how I sent out a version of the new Round 1 program for Sale of the Century that had the opening turned off. Well the updated version of round 1 is now ready for download at the BASIC Games website.
-
This is the last update I'm doing for Sale of the Century. If this doesn't fix the problems, I'm taking the game off the website. The new versions of Rounds 1, 2, & 3 are now ready for download at the BASIC Games website @ basicgames.folff.com

No problems last night with $OTC, Ryan, when I played.

So, you're telling someone how they ought to 'fix' a free program that probably has several hours of hard work put into it, just because it doesn't have the Winner's Board or Money Game? Do you realize just how dumb you sound right now?
No?
I'll tell you. That is probably one of the dumbest things I've heard on this board in an awful long time. And I'm sure Ryan appreciates it that you think enough of his created bonus round to keep it around. Good gravy.
EP Disclaimer: You'll note I did not call the person dumb, merely his comments, which I think really were dumb.

Question 1: Were you appointed Director of What Should and Should Not Be in Perfectly Free Computer Versions of Game Shows while I wasn't looking?
Question 2: Are you paying Ryanmo for his games?
Question 3: Is he claiming that his game uses the real bonus rounds?
If the answer to all three questions is "no," then he doesn't "need" to use the real bonus rounds.

What you were thinkng was sort what I was thinking about the original shopping bonus round in the series, only because I didn't remember it when I started watching Sale reruns on USA. I thought the last series bonus game, and/or the seconds series bonus game were better. But looking back on this, I say that I like the old original bonus game as much as the other two.
But I'm sorry, but I don't think Ryanmo has any use for the series bonus games, but thanks for your comments.
Sorry for jumping off the handle, and thank you for your time.

Wow.
Requesting a thread lock...between ilovetpir's and Jackpotman800's mindless ramblings...what's the point?
I kind of wish people wouldn't plug their games here...because it always ends up in something like this. I still say Jackpotman800 has no room to criticize anyone until he cleans up his act on Wikipedia.

Personally, I like the new bonus rounds in the games. Hell, I think some would've made the TV shows more interesting. The car round on TTD for TIC and TAC was brilliant. I'm surprised no one else thought of that.
