This is the complete KLOV ... the first section contains the info posting, the
|
|||
|
|
second the orphans list, and the third the KLOV itself.

KLOV Information
|
|||
|
|
================
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The KLOV has now surpassed the 1000 entry mark --
|
|||
|
|
the total for the March edition is 1025 games !!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Please note ... I didn't write all of these ... they are a usenet-wide
|
|||
|
|
collaberation of synopsi submitted over the years. Please limit all submit-
|
|||
|
|
tions to a four line description, 75 characters per line.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Special thanks must go to Kyle Snyder (of Blackmoor Enterprises) who sent me
|
|||
|
|
a *nine page* printout of additions and corrections consisting of some
|
|||
|
|
97 additions and over 200 corrections. Kudos !
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Below are game entry parameter examples for the list, which follows this
|
|||
|
|
posting in four additional posts (Orphans, A to I, J to R, and S to Z).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Ninja FallinBlox {x<y/z '39, 3D, Pinball, Vector, Laser, BnW, 17P, 2900 pro}
|
|||
|
|
The first laserdisc vector pinball game! You (represented by blocks)
|
|||
|
|
catch stuff (represented by blocks) until your arms (more blocks) are
|
|||
|
|
full, you can't see (lack of blocks), and bump into a Ninja-type person
|
|||
|
|
(represented by Cher).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
x<y Company x licensed the game from company y.
|
|||
|
|
y/z Game created jointly between y and z, or unknown licensing agreement.
|
|||
|
|
3D Three-D graphics. My criteria for this feature is the musical question:
|
|||
|
|
"Does the game have to do any type of 3D computation?" I'm going to
|
|||
|
|
stiff on this parameter a lot, because I haven't seen all these very
|
|||
|
|
crazy games!
|
|||
|
|
Pinball Actually a pinball/video game hybrid.
|
|||
|
|
Vector Vector graphics.
|
|||
|
|
Laser Laser disc images used for background (Star Fire) or entire game
|
|||
|
|
(Dragon's Lair). BnW Black 'n White screen. I've stretched the definition a bit, because
|
|||
|
|
certain vector games are color, but just one color - like Tailgunner
|
|||
|
|
(blue), Battlezone (green), and Red Baron (blue). Maybe these are
|
|||
|
|
color plastic overlays that I haven't noticed. Maybe not.
|
|||
|
|
2P, 4P Simultaneous play for two players, four players, etc.
|
|||
|
|
# pro Number of games produced.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Note : The above may/may not be included in any order whatsoever.

|

|
|
|

Titles not included as they are not _real_ arcade games (IMHO) :
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Super Select System [Arcadia]
|
|||
|
|
An arcade cabinet with an Amiga inside. Some of the games are improved
|
|||
|
|
home versions (hot dog!). Six selections on each machine.
|
|||

|||
|
|
PlayChoice [Nintendo '88, 2P]
|
|||
|
|
An arcade cabinet with a Nintendo inside! Also PlayChoice CounterTop
|
|||
|
|
(with joysticks that appear amazingly fragile considering the locations
|
|||
|
|
of most of these models: bars). Up to ten games. Give it a quarter and
|
|||
|
|
get three _big_ minutes of playing time. Hotdogletmeatitwhatabargin!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
TurboGrafix-16 [United Amusements<NEC '90]
|
|||
|
