Space Giraffe or Windows Media Player, The Game!
Grapefruit Juice \| 11:23 AM on 08.24.2007	11 comments

Space Giraffe: Hey, look everybody! It�s a Tempest clone with Windows Media Player visualizations tossed in to obscure the gameplay! But wait! That�s not all, you also get levels shown from such an angle that you cant see half the field. And that�s only in the 1st 10 levels, imagine how badly designed the other 90 are. On second thought don't. Heres an idea, give us the original Tempest on XBLA so we can forget about this visual turd.

Considering the game is made by the same guy who made Tempest, I don't think it's right to call it a clone.

The game is pretty sweet.

-D-

He also developed the VLM on the Jaguar CD which was a precursor to said Windows Media Player/Winamp visualizations.

I agree, the game is pretty sweet.

Thou shalt not take Jeff Minter's name in vain :O

Kryptinite

This game makes me want to through up...in a good way.

When people come in and see you playing it they have no idea what's going on.

BluDesign

Wow. I can't dance around this one by being cute or funny.

Um... Fuck you.

Space Giraffe is the shit.
PS do you work for OXM?

Did you ever play REZ? Or are good games beyond your grasp?

Jordan Devore

I admit there are a few levels that make it hard to see what's going on, but it's a fantastic game overall.

Banj

I agree. Fuck Jeff Minter and his shit novelty games. That motherfucker is getting by on reputation alone the silly surrealist cunt.

...you get the jist.

BluDesign

@Banj

If you and grapefruit can't get by on Surrealism, then I've only got one thing to say to you guys.

Back bacon.

BluDesign

@Grim

I will outscore you on this game. I will do it. I just have not been drunk enough yet.

1. Jeff Minter didnt make tempest, Dave Theurer did. so yeah its a clone, actually Minters 3rd tempest clone. hack.

2. Windows Media Player/Winamp visualizations look like ass

3. @dvddesign hipsters ftw.

Grapefruit Juice

As always, looking back, Im proven correct.
Minter = ass
Space giraffe = suck.
the end.
