Re:Softpedia Award

I just voted for Blockout II, Excellent off course :lol:

What I didn\'t understand however, was how they claim the size is 22MB. The download is only 5MB?

Re:New game mode

I\'m also really interested in having the number of cube before the next level. But there is a problem of free space. We will have to make choice, i don\'t think that we can put all informations on the screen at the same time. I\'m spoiled with the huge screen on my desk ;) Still, it could be optio...

Re:New game mode

I really like the \"Next Level\" thing, it\'s something I frequently want to know when I\'m trying for a good run and I make a small mistake. Another thing I\'d really like to see during play is the 22[x1] 6[x2] 1[x3] 2[x4] 0[x5] counters. That way I would know if what I\'m doing is any go...

Re:Your Blockout Story - post it here!

As Herc asked, a small repost. I got my first PC (or IBM compatible as they were called back then) in januari 1989. I think I discovered Blockout maybe a year or so later and it was the game I played most between 1990 and 1996 or so. The amount of times I must have played Blockout must be :blink: I\...

Re:BlockOut II 2.3 is out !

Will the Flat Fun Highscores be cleaned up now? My 192K is still there which seems wrong.

Re:Bug Reports go here

whats your history regarding blockout? did you play the original DOS-version from 1989 ? I got my first PC (or IBM compatible as they were called back then) in januari 1989.

Re:Scoring Explained

I was wondering if the scoring in the remake is exactly the same as it was in the original? I realize I\'m not as quick as I used to be but I distinctly remember getting scores of 220K-250K back in 1992/93. J. P.S.

Re:Bug Reports go here

Scores should really be cleaned up, unless you want a 220K+ highscore to remain there for a long long time. I know my score wasn\'t that high, but I\'m very confident it could be done.
