    Feels pretty dated and unfinished  posted by  grumbel@ 217.225.22.95
on Dec 17 2003 8:13 AM 22 This game has a very very long way to go if it
should become really good, currently its not much more than a pretty
unfinished MarioBros1 clone with choppy scrolling, ugly enemies, ugly
tiles, animation that doesn't really fit the movement of the character,
just one level and other issues that look not very good. Beside that I
think cloning MarioBros1 is not really a good idea, even the NES managed
to provide free vertical and horizontal scrolling in the later Marios
without limiting the player to a simple scroll-forward-only as in
MarioBros1, falling back to one-way scrolling just makes this game look
pretty damn much dated and limites the level architecturers freedom
quite a bit. Beside Tux makes a bad Mario replacment, a penguin doesn't
really have long enough legs to be a good jump'n run hero. 

After all having a good Tux based jump'n run equally good as SuperMario
would be pretty nice, but this game is still pretty far far away from
being that and I kind of doubt that it ever will.

Hehe, the original
code is almost 4
years old, and it
IS unfinished!
Sheesh! :^) -bill!

Can I interpret this in a way, that you aren't agains free horizontal
(and perhaps vertical) scrolling anymore? :)
