Futurama: the game

[#120 :]

Well, I have uploaded the game in the crappiest server ever. Have a try, but it will be a miracle if you could complete the download:

 http://leela.host.sk/myfiles/futurauk.zip

NEW FEATURES:

- Now Fry can wink
- Now Fry can go outside
- Some bugs deleted (Now Fry doesn't vanish, etc)
- Font changed
- Screen Title updated
- Randi is hidden somewhere

Well, soon the game will be uploaded in a better server, I hope... Enjoy if you can!   

Allright!! TOPTD!!

[#121 :]

I completed the download, and opened the file, but Winzip said that it was not a valid archive.

Help?!

[#122 :]

Ok, try

 http://futurama.metropoli2000.com/gamedownload.htm

It should work. Please do not use any download manager (hold shift if you use GetRight etc..).

[#123 :]

...or

 http://download.metropoli2000.com/futurama/htdocs/juego/futurauk.zip

You can use a download manager  If this link doesn't work, use the other one.

[#124 :]

The second link didn't work good...I used a Download Manager and it didn't succeed installing...now trying the other link 

[#125 :]

Ok, sorry, server things 

[#126 :]

Use

 http://futurama.metropoli2000.com/gamedownload.htm

This one works, trust me

[#127 :]

This one's working excellent...thanks   

[#128 :]

Yes, trust him.

OK, Hitchhiker, I have read the mistakes list, I'll correct them as soon as possible 

[#129 :]

I'm not your teacher...take your time.

Edit: Found another one: On New Year's Eve

[#130 :]

AHHHHHH!!!!!! I use http://futurama.metropoli2000.com/gamedownload.htm  but I STILL can't seem to make it work. When I download it from there, it downloads in like 1 second (I got dail-up) and when I open up the zip, it says the valid archive thing.

So what link SHOULD I use????

[#131 :]

wait....I tried http://download.metropoli2000.com/futurama/htdocs/juego/futurauk.zip   and it seems to be downloading SOMETHING. It's NOT doing that thing wheere it downloads it in a second. So it should work, I'll post back and tell you if it does.

[#132 :]

WHAT!?!?!?! I got to 99% and it restarted......and now it just keeps on restarting and restarting. Which link!?!?!?!?!

THIS LINK WORKS!!!

 http://futurama.metropoli2000.com/gamedownload.htm

DISABLE ANY DOWNLOAD MANAGER!! Click on "Click here to download the game." Then wait, a small window will appear, with a link in it! It's that simple.

[#134 :]

The game just keeps getting better and better...

Can you actually use the transportation tubes, or just look at the map?

[#135 :]

Obviously, at the moment you can just look at the map, sorry

[#136 :]

Looks pretty cool. Good job so far, I will try it more later.. Btw, are you a Stratovarius fan by any chance?

[#137 :]

Slavon, what seems obvious to you as the guy who made it ain't obvious to me... 

Anyways, here's hoping for more in the next revision

[#138 :]

Lookin' great so far. Keep it up!

Maybe you could actually make some money out of it.

[#139 :]

Does anyone know how to disable Download Excellerator????????

-s64

[#140 :]

Got it, hold ALT when pressing the download link.

Thanks anyways!!!

[#141 :]

Thanx, people! 
I wish I could earn some money with the game... But I doubt it.

How did you find out????

[#142 :]

I'm pretty sure you couldn't make money with copyright laws and the like. I dunno though, since you're not an American, as far as I can tell.

[#143 :]

That's true, to make money I'd have to obtain a license and commercialize the game, but anybody would buy a game that looks like a "5-years-ago" adventure

[#144 :]

I got it in WinZip but what do i do now???????

[#145 :]

Install it, Nurdbot, Install it...

"Install.exe"

[#146 :]

The game looks great, Slavon, but why do you use that installer program? It only complicates things and it's not really necessary. The zip file only gets bigger. I think most of us can handle to copy the files to a folder without using the installer.

For Windows NT/2000/XP users:
Boot to DOS to install and play the game. If your system can't boot to DOS, create a boot floppy (can also be downloaded from http://www.bootdisk.com/). You MUST have at least one FAT or FAT32 partition to play with boot floppy. The game won't fit on the floppy, and DOS can not read NTFS, so the game must be stored in the FAT/FAT32 partition. If you only have NTFS, you can create a boot CD with DOS, mouse drivers and the game. (You can not install the game with only the CD, you must install it on another computer and then copy the installed files)

Thanks for the information Tor.

I know the install program gets the zip bigger, but there's always the typical person who doesn't know how to copy files, etc... maybe in the next version.

[#148 :]

Once im outside, where the hell do i go!!??
i've said everything possible to the cops. tried going past them into the door (unsuccesfully)
looked at the map (dead end) and tried to walk everywhere possible, but im just stuck there.

[#149 :]

Maybe you should create files for a boot CD, Slavon, so Win NT/2000/XP users just have to download the files, burn them on a cd and reboot.
Of course there will be problems if you make a save game function. One option is to store the savegames on a floppy.

[#150 :]

Q: Are you a Stratovarius fan?

[#151 :]

Ok.Im still stuck

[#152 :]

What's the problem? Open winzip and click on the "install.exe" file... or it doesn't work?

[#153 :]

I finally got around to download the game and try it. Great work, Slavon!! It looked very cool, and it was really funny to try all the possibilities. I'm looking forward to the next revision with excitement. This game really has potential. Keep up the good work!!!

[#154 :]

I made a boot CD for your game, Slavon. It has drivers for most CD-ROM drives and mice. With this boot CD, Windows NT/2000/XP users can enjoy the game! Please tell me if you find bugs, it has not been very carefully tested... and the readme file is confusing and full of spelling mistakes... but it's a start.

Download the boot-CD here: http://home.no.net/kfnf/download/boot-cd.zip

The game without the installer (You need it to make the CD): http://home.no.net/kfnf/download/futur-uk.zip

[#155 :]

Thanx a lot, Tor. I'll include you in the credits page  I'll have a look at the files now

[#156 :]

can I be in the credits for being a member of PEEL please and never dishing the game as it's so brilliant it will be one of the gest games out there when its fully finished
I've always wanted to be in the credits of something

[#157 :]

Hehehe... well, in the credits page appear:

"A big thank to all the PEEL people: (some names) and a looooongest etc."

[#158 :]

Someone, please report bugs in my boot CD. Bugtesters will be listed in "credits"...

Something I forgot: The boot CD will work in all operating systems for PC, not only Win NT/2000/XP. You can use it even if you have Linux, BeOS, Win 3.1/95/98/Me or whatever. The only thing you need is a PC that supports boot CD, and a program to write the CD.

Why did you bother with WIN 3.1?

Nobody uses it, right? I'm stuck in the stone age with Win 95, and I though that was bad...
