Eh, I bet King would disavow any relationship with that Lawnmower Man game! :onfire:

[jhanic]

Herbert, I don't think you're missing any in that list--I think you've got them all. I myself only have the F13 CD. (I really like the screensavers on it!)

John

[Erin]

I have F13 too. It's a neat little CD.

[CRinVA]

I have F13 too. It's a neat little CD.

I have the F13 Mousepad on my desk at work! Getting pretty worn out now!

[Ari_Racing]

there's a level for Duke Nukem 3D Atomic edition that it's called "The shining". It takes place in the overlook hotel and you enter room 217.

Pretty cool! :)
I think I still have it somewhere.

[herbertwest]

thanks for the info

there are also the Flash applications for the movie Riding the Bullet, and the flash applications from the official website of the serie Nightmares and Dreamscapes...

do you guys know about more "official" flash application for promoting a movie?

[Ari_Racing]

Black House had some Shockwaves. There's also a mini game "Misery 2. Bates vs Gates".

[herbertwest]

what about the black house...
they were some applications?
still retrievable online? (do you have it? :s )

[Ari_Racing]

I don't remmeber..I think they were small movies only
I gotta start looking in my king dvds..

Thanks, Ari. I read about this in Bev Vincent's Bulletin Board, but couldn't find the link.

[Ari_Racing]

Well...I've been looking in some stuff I have and I found these games:

Jerusalem's Lot 1 (text adventure in spanish)
Jerusalem's Lot 2 (text adventure in spanish)

The Lawnmower man for SNES

Some objects for The Sims 2 (also King's house!)

And a small silly game in Flash of The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer

[gsvec]

Interesting. The version of The Dark Half PC game I have is different that the one posted. Mine came in the box shown below - it's about 2" deep. There's also an order form included that shows the original price was $59.95!! I vaguely remember playing it long ago - pretty lame if I recall correctly. :lol:

[DanishCollector]

I only have F13 as King was vaguely involved with it - or maybe he wasn't, but he let them use his name.

[herbertwest]

if i am right, there is the first appearance (?) of Everything's Eventual in it

[obscurejude]

Too bad all of you are collectors. I would love to see some screen shots of the gameplay.

[Ari_Racing]

Which game you want screenshots of?

[obscurejude]

Any of the ones that have actual game play and aren't question and answer.

[pickle]

Oh no not another thing to start collecting, im gonna end up poor lol

[turtlex]

I was going to ask ... have any of you played any of these games?!?

( does someone out there really have a SNES still ? )

[Brice]

I do. I also have Atari. And I think there's a Pong game and a Colecovision in the attic.

[turtlex]

Are you serious? Like an Atari 2600? And it's plugged in and working?

You know that Pong goes for some serious dough to Classic Game Collectors!

Not sure about the Collecovision, though I loved that when I had it - DEFENDER!

[Brice]

Yeah, a 2600. I haven't played the Atari in awhile. It had a small glitch with a connection somewhere, but it worked and it's easily repairable. I also have games for it. Yeah, we know the Pong is worth some money. It's actually my roommates though. I don't think the Coleco is worth much. I could be wrong though.

[Ari_Racing]

I played all the videogames based or SK related.

I work in GAMELOFT, a videogame company, and I always said it's the best job I ever had. I've been playing videogames since I have a memory (2-3 years) and had my first computer when I was 9.

As for the preferences, I'm a huge fan of the graphic adventures, such as Maniac Mansion, The Secret of Monkey Island (all except the 4th, which is really poor) and well...all the Lucas Film/Arts adventures. ;)

[turtlex]

I would love to see some screen shots of these classic King games.

I've been playing video games for a long time as well, but can't remember seeing most of these. Of course, I played console based games and I see some of these are for PCs.

[herbertwest]

Some screenshots of the games based on King, can be found in the GAME part of the netherlands website :

[obscurejude]

( does someone out there really have a SNES still ? )

I play my NES and SNES on a daily basis. That's kind of why I wanted to see some screen shots.

[turtlex]

How the heck to you manage all the connections?
Between cable, and PS3 and my phone via internet - I can hardly stand all the wires.
I can't imagine having other stuff hooked in there !

[obscurejude]

I have several av selector switches rigged to my tv. I can play NES, SNES, Genesis, PS 2, Gamecube, and PS 3 without having to unplug anything. I just need to click a button and remember which console goes to it. :D

My hero !

[obscurejude]

:blush:

I highly recommend it. The retro emulators just aren't the same as playing the actual consoles. Plus, the games are crazy cheap and just as fun as ever in most cases. I'll take a picture of it later, perhaps, and try to post it in the video games thread.

Does anyone have something to add, or archive?
Should online games like Discordia be listed?

[DanishCollector]

Nothing new but I do think Discordia belongs in a list.

[Ari_Racing]

Yes, there's one very poorly done for IOs devices (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad):

Last week we launched an update of MONOLOCO (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/monoloco/id463365599?l=en&ls=1&mt=8) which included two references to Stephen King.

The scenario is called 2012 and it's a devastated city after...well, the end of the world. And if you take a close look to the background:

Currently downloading it. Thanks for the heads up!
Just a question : what is the business model if you give free apps? Ads in them? In game items to buy...?

[Ari_Racing]

In-game apps.

Undoubtedly one of the best IF titles from Angelsoft, Stephen King's The Mist is based on a famous short story by the world's leading horror author Stephen King. The choice of "The Mist" out of all other short stories is quite appropriate, because it is faster-paced and more exciting than most other stories. A brief plot: a strange and deadly mist takes over the small town of Bridgton, near Long Lake, on 17th of July. Some survivors take shelter in a Federal market, but discover they are not safe inside, because the mist is not just mist - it's alive and after them! The game itself follows the short story very closely, so anyone who has read it already knows the ending. The goal, of course, is to find a way to destroy the mist and save the town from being devoured. Puzzles are straightforward and fun, and even exciting because of the constant time limit and atmospheric writing. The game does have one badly designed puzzle near the endgame, where you must kill a creature with your gun. The outcome of each shot is randomized, so you must save and restore numerous times to succeed. Worse, the game gives no hint about this random element, so you may assume that shooting isn't the right solution and try to do something else. This gripe aside, this is a great action-packed adventure that King fans and IF veterans alike will enjoy.
