Simple Games for Simple Minds
i <3 dos this game has as much plot and character as any final fantasy game and the graphics are better than ffx-2!
gotm material
This game was a good idea, but it sucked. Tiger thingy was fun so it get's a 2/5 for that. Download if you must.
Umm... no...
This game is mind knumbingly boring. It's only slighter better than newbie engine games like Asteroids, due to graphics.
Okay, that will be the last idiotic review of this simple game I'm tolerating before I review it.
These fools who review games like idiot nebies, saying stupid things like "LOL THIS GMAE Ro><oRS!!!!!111!!!" practically. While I respect these people and Dr. Dos otherwise, it disturbs me to see these reviews go by unchecked from z2 authorities, in particular Mooseka's review, which is totally beside the point of the game. Mooseka's review is entirely erroneous and false. Quite to the contrary, this game is not the best ever, it's graphics are very minimal, and it is not a touching story about a boy dying from cancer.
This is a pre-fabricated arcade. The gameplay is not great, nor is the game of epic proportions. In this game you will find such obviously creative ideas as dodging stars for as long as possible, killing tigers as fast as possible while more spawn, and avoiding bears with only ten health. This is not a fountain of new ideas. For a few hours, it may be worthing wasting your time on, but eventually, you will find it wasting away on your hard drive in disuse. I also deeply noticed the extremely minimal and lacking title screen, a virtue that Dos seems to excel in. I would reccomend that you exercise a little more creativity in this area. It is one of the most important aspects of a game. Minimal text screens can be overused.

Thus arriving at an overall score of 1.
Otherwise, your ZZTV channel was great, and Nightmare Island, as well as the rest of your projects show great promise. Please don't let us down, Dr. Dos.
Dr. Dos will always kick much behind.
I love him and his games. This one goes in me Dr.Dos is so kewl collection. 5/5
It being seemingly fashionable to review this game, I would like to put in my 2 cents. None of you know who I am, but anyway. My review.
To summarize: pre-FABULOUS! I saw almost no objects whatsoever in this game. Everything is prefab, not including, obviously, the stuff from STK.
The games are: Avoid the stars, Run around the track, Run from the tigers, and run down the hallway lined with bears. It is impossible to get any score higher than 3,360 on the latter, because the player can only move so fast.
Dos is such a great guy, I hate to give him this, but the game deserved it. The only reason this game didn't get lss is that it IS mildly addictive.
I can not in good conscious score this game above a 3. A game where you try and avoid stars for as long as possible? I spent my ZZTing life trying to avoid such games. And there is only one possible high score for the bear run game. Sorry, dos, I'm waiting for nightmare island.
The thing is, I love Dr. Dos so much, I really don't want to give him a bad mark.
But I found this game mind numbingly tedious! It bored me. A lot. I think I only played through each one once and I was already bored by the end.
Frankly, his ZZTV channel was way cooler. sorry dos i still love you forever :(
Sheer awesomeness. More ZZT'ers need to release minigame packs like this (unless they SUCK, in which case, I guess they shouldn't). Anyway, this is a collection of several mindless games that are actually quite addicting and time-wasting.
So, go download this, EVEN THOUGH DOS FAILED TO INCLUDE MY "FIVE MINUTE" GAME, DAMN HIM. J/K <3 DOS
Oh, and this gets a 5. IT'S THAT DAMN GOOD.
Oh what can I say about this game? Simple Games for Simple Minds is quite possibly the best game ever created, ZZT or not. Personally I believe it should be ported to gamecube, ps2, xbox.. EVERYTHING IT CAN BE PORTED TO. With cinemas that will make you laugh.. right before doing a glorious 180 and making you fall to the floor crying. It is an epic story about a small child growing up in a world where he is forgotten.. also, he has cancer.

Dr. Dos, you are a man among men. I SALUTE YOU.
