Release id #17586 : Jumpman Junior+2
This has been released by Wanderer, apparently as a fake release. This is after he made sarcastic comments like this on the Driven forums (http://drivenonline.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=12):
"Yes the scene needs more previews and one filed games that were history twenty years ago. What's next? Jumpman Junior megatrainer?"
"I don't see any respect for anybody who feels compelled to put out Sammy Lightfoot because they can train it. I know I'll be first in the download lineup when Onslaught releases the fully trained version of Jumpman Junior."
He also has a whole page dedicated to his dislike of the current scene on his self indulgent homepage - http://www.ontarioghosttowns.com/c64/oldies.html
When Wanderer first put this on CSDb, he released it under his own handle. Then apparently deleted the entry along with it's reviews and re-released it under a fake handle.
What's worse, it's a recrack, and it doesn't even work properly. What point was trying to be proved here is beyond me.
The intro is a crippled version of an old intro by the same idiot, possibly from back in the days when he wasn't a complete asswipe.
Funnily enough, after the trolling flame thread on driven, and checking out the one demo I have here on CSDb, he's used the tune from the first part of that demo in his own intro. 20cc tune, and yes I borrowed it myself in the first place of course, but why would anyone make an apparently fake "war" release like this in the first place unless they are a complete fruitcake?
Take a break and take your medication Mike.

I didn't read the whole discussion, just glimpsed at the last few posts and read Wanderers text. I have noticed that some points about quality were introduced and some points aboug bugfixes ommited (in his text) and accepted later.
Apart from nostalgiac accusations. He's got a point. One thing is for sure. If oldie crackers of today wants to release, they should do at least 110-150% version of the best available crack at that time, otherwise their endeavour is futile. As far as Remembers and Nostalgia are concerned I'm not afraid to say that they are doing a very good. As for the others.. there were some "issues" in past even I was involved in a kind of criticism. Simply... I find it incredilby stupid to release a buggy crack of the game, already cracked 15-20 years ago. For the gamer, the quality is important, not the time of the release. |

I think it is wonderful that there are still heated discussions like this one out there. THAT is certainly something I remember from the golden days. Tons of discussions, very heated, very emotional, and everybody got involved. Sure, on the surface it may appear silly to argue over these things since, after all, it is just a computer, but at the end of the day it is entertaining.
That's why I stick around. It's either this or a baseball game on TV. |

You're right. It's exciting. But below the surface, it's just quantum of testosterone and self-conceit. ;-)
