I'm a little late to the thread, but willing to hate. What are we hating? An iPhone app? Fucking Jobs!

No, we're hating a puppygames homage to Paradroid, which makes me sad, because puppygames games are really... they're charming, is what they are.

Are they Apocalypse Now Blu-Ray on your high-def entertainment center? No. But they're goddamn Planes, Trains, and Automobiles in a hotel room at 2 AM when you really need it.

What was that game that was like Colored Line Fight and Battlezone that you wanted me to play for 22 minutes?

I'm not hating on puppygames in general -- I'm hating on the fact that they made an homage to one of my favorite games and took out my favorite part.

If puppygames starts releasing porn without the nudity, I will hate on it too.

Is it anything like Spectre 3D?

Spectre 3D is kind of like multiplayer Battlezone. It is both the first game I ever played on a Macintosh computer, and the first multiplayer LAN game I ever played (this would have been pre-Doom -- say, 1993/94).

Essentially, the game involves running around a virtual grid, collecting flags and shooting things without getting shot. In single-player mode it's you against a bunch of AI tanks, but in multiplayer it becomes a race as to who can collect the most flags (and avoid getting blowed up real good). In the mid-90s I got a copy of the game for the PC and not only did it support local LAN play, but dial-up head-to-head battles as well, which worked great. The vector-like graphics leg to very little lag due to graphics.
