Can't Decide on a Favorite Classic? Play them All at Once!
Posted by Travis on 7 November 2010, 15:12 GMT
Do you consider yourself good at Avoid, Falldown, Keepitin, and Pong? Good enough that you could play them in your sleep? What about playing more than one of them simultaneously? Deep Thought's Axe program
Simul brings a creative idea to the table: Which game you're playing changes randomly every 15 seconds. If you survive, then you're challenged to play two of them at the same time—and if you can handle that, four! But make one mistake, and it's over. Try it out and see how good you really are at multitasking.

I tried this and it's very nice. It's very challenging, though, so you might need practice. Also the game looks MUCH better on-calc than in the animated screenshot on the page (mind re-uploading a new one Deep Thought?)

This game is great, well deserving of the feature. The screenshots really are nothing compared to what it looks like on the real calc. I tried this myself and could hardly get 10 seconds into level 2.
Great job.

This game is pretty good. I really like the concept and the way it is designed, especially with the contrast fades they throw in there. The sprites could use some improvement, though, and there are a few bugs that could be fixed (such as the ball hitting the corner in Keepitin and thus making the game unwinnable), but overall, it is a very great game.
One thing that's in this game that I thought was funny was that when you select Superhard (Teenage Mutant) mode, the background changes from a solid color to "Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna run around and desert you." There also seemed to be no speed increase from Hard mode. I asked my friend about this, and he said that it was a reference to the Rickroll video, which people often link to to trick you (Click here for a secret game cheat!). :)
