Hello, my fellow Bit Busters,

I've been watching a lot of races on YouTube recently, and I really love it. I also wanted to do some races on my own, I wanted to ask to some friends to race as well, but it's not always easy finding a game that 4 players master to the point of racing it. Then, I was like wait a second Bill, we have that here!

So here's the idea: A casual race, one take, 4 players, the game: Chip's Challenge (the original pack that is, we could eventually expand to custom packs and what not, but the idea stands for CC1). We can add shenanigans such as booby traps for everyone to use against other players, I've seen stuff such as a Time Out trap that forces a player to stand still for a certain amount of time. Ideas include a trap that forces a player to play a whole level with the mouse, one that forces a player to immediately hit Restart or one that forces a player to rotate his keyboard 180 degrees for one level, or anything else that you can possibly think.

I want to organize that the soonest we can do it. Note that it requires a good load of time so be aware of it if you sign in!

So, who's interested in the idea and in actually doing it with me?

(Just FYI, other potential races that I'd like to do at some point include Super Mario Bros 3, Super Mario World, Super Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong Country 3 to name a few, I've just not started yet to organize them)

What's up everybody. TS2 is happening, it seems. I just finished up three levels recently, bringing the total to five, so I decided to upload that to the Yahoo! group. Reaching 40 levels will be a challenge, since I haven't had many level ideas recently, but I will get there eventually. Anyway, enjoy!

you guys don’t have a review thread??? It’s simple; each post talks about one level only, the next level that comes after the one of the previous one from the same set. So it’s a take-turns type thing. General rule is you try to find good and bad things about the level, but only good things are okay in my book. [Even if a level is totally bad, I always try to find good things about it].

Another general rule is: don’t post two times in a row; to give everybody a fair chance to review a level.

I figured I’d start out with the original game. Then go to CCLP2 or 3. If anyone else wants to start one on for any of these or customs sets go ahead. Or if you think most would prefer just skipping CCLP1 altogether and going to another; I’m open to suggestions. I'll change the title of this thread in that case.

In any case, this is a lot of fun on the Lemmings forum and a good way, I’ve found, to get opinions and ideas out there.

We could upload pictures if we want. I’m not sure it would work or be useful, since in CC sometimes, seeing the whole level spoils it. Are they’re screenshots of just the start screens out there?

CCLP1

level 1 –Lesson One

chips required: 11

time: 100 seconds

good: who doesn’t remember the first level? A good introduction to keys and chips, great beginning to the game. And always brings back memories.

bad: I’ve found there’s this habit (on other forums at least) of always mentioning on easy levels like this one “this level is too easy and dumb!” but come on, it’s the first level, so I’m gonna skip that sort of thing for all the intro levels.

To help you giving me some competition, have a happy remix : the Major variation of Tetris theme!




Now please someone beat me, I want to play some more!
