Foolish Bonus
While reconstructing Sneech I’ve been playing the original version on an emulator (WinUAE), making notes of features, sampling sounds, and generally reminiscing. Once in a while I come across something I’d completely forgotten about! It’s weird when it happens, but this week I rediscovered the “Foolish Bonus”…
Bonus money and points were awarded to players that did really badly… What fools!
This was one of the many places where the game rewarded players that were not doing so well. This is an obvious one, but there were less obvious “balancing acts” elsewhere. Its an important thing to do in a League that may last for an hour or so. You don’t want players to give up hope, so you give them a little reward, that may lead to a better match next time!
This could be a regular feature on the Blog; as I already have some more features we need reminding of!
I miss this game so much, i stumbled upon this site while searching if there was a similar flash version that had been made. Oviously, i noticed there isn’t one but still had the need to play it, i saw the videos on youtube and this only made me want to play it more. In the end i got so frustrated that i went onto Ebay and i couldnt believe that i found an original copy for the Amiga! In excitement (and regretably without doing my research) i bought it thinking i could extract the files and use it in my Amiga Emulator (WinUAE), I was wrong.
Please put me out of my misery and give me some news on when the Windows Beta will be released or just let me do some rediscovering on the original for my UAE.
p.s, i’m sorry for the life story in the comment box.
THANKS! =)
