I'm not going to send resorces (significant amount) to the small ones, so I won't be sorry about it when it has to go. ;) edit: I got a 183 fields big colony now.

I see. My new colony is on planet 12 of the galaxy, so it's just 69 fields big. The next ones I'm gonna send to planets 6 and 7 which are free.

nice tools. I am really addicted to this game. I think I should cancel one of my two accounts because it's taking a lot of my time (I have 1 account on universe 31 of ogame.org and another one on universe 2 of ogame.com.br). I'll put the later on vacation mode.

How reasonable would it be to set a TAS bot to work on arkanoid? Because only 2 buttons (left and right) are relevent, would it be able to work that game over with 100% precision?
Hard to do with the ball moving horizontally faster than the pad, but with the steering wheel control it is possible, I believe. But it may get stuck on the corner of a stage sometimes.

Does anybody know what else do I need to attack a planet that has 30 Light Lasers and no fleet? I got 3 Light Fighters and 1 Heavy Fighter. edit: humm I've been told that I will need to send about 12 Heavy Fighters to have a good chance to win, and even so, I'd lose most of them. Maybe I need a bigger ship. It seems that with 2 bombers I'd have no losses.

baxter, since you didn't answer this yet, why don't you replace the warped run with the title screen glitch?

The tournament is over, and the winner of the unfair match I was in, whitney_christine, didn't get a single prize. I can't help but have a relieving feeling of justice about that.

A good example of non-linear game is Test Drive Unlimited (Xbox360, PC). The game puts you into Honolulu island, in Hawaii, free to do whatever you want. You can get missions, so you have money and buy more houses and vehicles. Even in the missions you can try finding shortcuts on your own, or even use the game's physics to go through unexpected paths.

Ghostbusters, which I played to exaustion and never finished... That was the game that was bundled with brazilian's most successful nes clone, 'Phantom System'. Kinda menacing name :) Ghostbusters is also non-linear...

What I can say is that I prefer linear games, which may explain why I like zelda 2 so much and never had any interest on the first one. I DID enjoy super pitfall's liberty in the dungeon, but that was the second NES game I had ever played so it doesn't count.

I have started 4 days ago, have only got 12 points, and I'm developing the resource gathering first (without letting resources accumulate), before moving on to attack/defense strategies. edit: humm, all of a sudden my score jumped to 36.

I have reluctantly been introduced to this game, but it's simple to play and surprisingly addictive: http://www.ogame.org/ When I knew it was a massive online html game I had no interest on it, but my friends insisted. Now it's an addiction :P (and I can play it on my Wii!)

well, i received the invitation to the tournament by mail, and everybody seemed friendly enough that I could ignore the fact that the rules were too loose. until their true irresponsible and lazy identities appeared (if that's not the case, then they chose to favor the invalid winner of my group for a specific, hidden reason, ignoring that the match was invalid and agaisnt the rules in the first place).

Yeah, if at least some publishers can generate the AVI files, I'd be glad to see the TASes coming.

Yeah, I have been informed that some people actually saw that my arguments were valid so they set up some sort of court trial topic for fun and I don't know how is that going, but the admins are making jokes there.

What to do? So much happened and now I don't know what to do, or where to start. It's like a conspiracy and they were all set up from the beggining with set winners. It was a free nintendo DS WFC championship with the game Club House Games, to take place on 3 consecutive Sundays, and the prizes are a Wii, a DS lite, a GBASP and some other smaller stuff. I showed up for my match, but the host didn't leave the room open long enough for me to join, so only 3 people out of 5 played. I immediately started complaining, and 2 DAYS of discussion later, an admin pops up and declares the winner of the 3 players game the definitive winner, and suspends my forum account. http://gbatemp.net/index.php?s=4cd9fb71c625d1256976313ba55692faact=Reg&CODE=00 Now I complained about one of the admin's EXTREMELY unfair decision, and he gagged me on the forum and are gagging me on IRC channel. I'm pissed because I wasted 2 weeks preparing for the tournament, and then I didn't even get a chance to play. The admin said that "the host can open the room at the match time and start it whenever he wants. Who didn't get to join had bad luck". This is NOT on the rules, and it makes no sense anyway. The rules only say that a player should be eliminated if he doesn't show up for the match (yes, the rules are loose like that, it doesn't even especify where to show up, so I posted on forum and was on IRC, since 1 hour prior to the match). He said that stupid phrase after a lot of discussing between the players and absense of admins. Notice also that the host was always chosen by "oldest member on the forum". I doubt there's anything legal that can be done because it was a free international tournament, but you should know what kind of people hang around those forums. NOBODY is seeing that it was unfair to start the match without everyone of the players that showed up. And now I can't even read the forums.

Gauntlet's password system has been broken (search it on gamefaqs and the NES forum here), but I don't think it can break the game's logic, despite having a few more "items", or "character level up" before it would be normally possible, but I can't see how to exploit that into breaking the game.
