Title: Monsterland
Post by: Psion on October 16, 2007, 19:40

It's a text mode action game that plays a lot like an overhead doom. I heard about it over 7 years ago on a site about shoot-em-up games and thought it looked excellent.  Unfortunately, the links were all broken and searching turned up nothing.  Today, I accidently stumbled across it looking for something else.  Here's the link for the game:  http://www.speakeasy.org/~shihonage/straybitmap/right-mland.htm (http://www.speakeasy.org/~shihonage/straybitmap/right-mland.htm).  And here's a gameplay video on youtube: http://youtube.com/watch?v=4BORxQ7L2BU (http://youtube.com/watch?v=4BORxQ7L2BU).

I hope posting about someone else's games isn't against the rules (though it is fairly related to doom and text mode games).

That's actually kinda cool, even though it's not really my thing. SmashTV meets Nethack or something ;D

Hey, that question proably sounds incredibly stupid, but...

What's that music in the movie ? Sounds kinda familiar to me.

A game ? Yeah, good one... Thanks for that you have told us about it. Just can't stop playing ! :)

It's music from DooM 1, Episode 1 Map 8.) Was used in DooMRL also.

Thanks. I didn't play DooM that long.
Ah, now I know where I heard it... :)
