Blinky 2: The Return of Blinky

Fan favorite RSD Game-Maker game by fan favorite ZZT/Megazeux designer Jeremy LaMar. Sort of a Zelda clone, in some respects. Very clean. Sega-ish visual style and play.

Oh man this brings back memories...

[aderack]

@changsmith It's curious that these two games have such an ardent following.

You can read more about them, and the engine used to design them, at the above link.

@aderack Loved that, thanks! I also found some other article somewhere with links to both games, which I happily downloaded! Although of course I can't play them on my Mac, so I'll have to transfer them...

[aderack]

@changsmith You can't really play them in Windows either. DOS is an alien operating system, these days.

Just download DOSBox. It is to DOS software what an NES emulator is to The Legend of Zelda. There's a decent, no-frills Mac frontend called Boxer that may do it for you. Or you can find something a little more complex, if you poke around.

@aderack Whoa, so awesome!! Unfortunately my numpad-less Mac doesn't seem to want Blinky to jump. The only thing I can get him to do is the pointless dance haha.

[aderack]

@changsmith Ah, that's a shame. There are probably utilities out there for remapping keys in specific applications, but I'm afraid that's outside of my purview.

[changsmith]

@aderack No problem! Thanks for the help and for teaching me a new word.

@hamtaro126ALT That's interesting. Is the music original to Zeux? I recognize nearly all of these music files from elsewhere, and it does all seem like it might have the same author.

By "he" are you talking about Jeremy LaMar?

[aderack]

@Duvmasta Oh, hey. You're the guy with the Blinky 3 tributes. Yeah, no problem. I take it you're familiar with the games from that AOL area where they were uploaded a while back?

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UPLOADING THIS!!!
