ODI EST AMO

A game for the Unexpanded Vic 20, Joystick required. All BASIC.

This is a game you will hate. I was excited to have a new character editor, but I hadn't made a new game in a while. I slapped this together tonight.

Looking at the listing gave me tiny clues... had to laugh at the first message I received in-game... "Totally nailed your mum"

Managed 36% so far, although I guess I need to work out what the rest of what goes on and how to find the others...

Is it odi et amo (hate and love) or odi est amo (hate is love)?

looks good, will have to try it.

It's a crossword puzzle. ...with numbers. ... and no clues. For example, select "1234"

THe goal is to get all the answers in the time limit. The little dancing guy is harmless, just gets in the way.

I meant "Hate IS love" it. So, you shouldn't feel so bad hating this game. BTW, the protagonist graphic is a variation of something you made a long time ago. I thought he'd look cute with little shifty eyes.

Is it? I don't recognize him. I just played it, 28% (no listing the code!). But I forgot 1234 so now I need to try again.

That's REALLY crazy... but so addictive... I can't stop trying to find new combination!!! "odi et amo" but surely more "amo"....

I can't stop !!! my best score now is 28%...

Mayhem · Post by **Mayhem** » Wed Jun 23, 2010 4:51 pm

Up to 80% now, just need to figure out the last five...

I wonder if the game will be more fun with clues. I could put up a hidden spoiler that either shows each password description as it appears on screen, or I could make up vague hints. I think the last few will be VERY obscure.

I was feeling pretty upset and this game cheered me right up!
Thanks Jeff.
