285 - "Exploration - r0x0r j00"
-------------------
Overall - 2
Blue Buckaroo strikes again.
I prey that this was supposed
to be as stupid as it was.
Too bad I don't feel like
being meniacally insane...I'd
give the game a 30. :)
Theme - 5
Well, you did have to explore
...
kinda.
Gameplay- 0
...
Gameplay?
Plot - 0
...
Plot?!
Graphics- 1
(sympathy point. I mean, the-
re *were* graphics. And they
flashed! Wow!)
Sound - 2
Erm, there was someone saying
"explore" over and over again
in the background...that's
original, I guess...
-------------------
-------------------
714 - "Entry No. 714"
-------------------
Overall - 5
Umm...bad.
Theme - 6
"Let's go ~Cexplore~F this
house" was about the extent
of theme this game had.
Gameplay- 2
Walking around a poorly-drawn
and barren house with a big
ugly smilie isn't my idea of
jaw-dropping fun.
Plot - 1
"Let's go ~Cexplore~F this
house." `Nuff said.
Graphics- 2
There was some ugly customiz-
ed stuff as well as a big
blocky grey smilie staring
at me.
Sound - 1
Loud, evil laugh. That sums
up all the sound in the game.
-------------------
-------------------
936 - "Ford Exploration"
-------------------
Overall - 13
Urm...I don't quite think
that THIS is what ibrahim
meant by "Explore," but it
certainly is an original way
to look at it!
Theme - 2
Like I said: wrong kind of
explore. Nice try, though.
Gameplay- 10
A "racing" game, running over
stuff with a car for points..
someone's been playing too
much Grand Theft Auto.
Plot - 1
Umm...learn how to drive a
Ford Explorer. Yep.
Graphics- 3
People were default Megazeux
smilies, the customized grap-
hics were pretty much totally
sub-par.
Sound - 4
Unoriginal music, limited use
of sound effects. Remind me
why I spent so much money on
a state-of-the-art speaker
system to listen to Green Day
with low-quality guitar samp-
les, please.

-------------------
4214 - "Star Quest - The Next Gen" *RUNNER-UP*
-------------------
Overall - 22
A very nice game. Unfortunat-
ely, there was a show-
stopping bug on planet Kgnei-
czxceghkop. Even after I went
in and edited the code and
started playing on Kgneiczxc-
eghkop I got an out-of-memory
robot error. Apparently 79kb
conventional memory isn't
enough these days...
That isn't team 4214's fault,
though, so I can't dock any
points for it.
This one has Eric Drobile
written aallll over it. :)
Him or Justin Sheetz. Or
both...hmm...
Theme - 12
I guess I'm kind of making an
assumption here that you wou-
ld be exploring on planet
Kgneiczxceghkop more. The
story-line at the beginning
lets even the start of the
game be in-theme.
Gameplay- 10
Standard inventory-based adv-
enture game. Nothing truly
unique at all.
Plot - 13
From the beginning the plot
was strong, and although when
Captain Krap announced his
ship-destroying intention it
was a bit sudden, the entire
melded together pretty well.
Graphics- 9
The graphics were very nice
to look at, and although it
had been done before, the BtB
characters were very nice.
Sound - 10
All the sound and music in
the game was nice, original,
and came with a cute little
umbrella.

4849 - "Fog"
-------------------
Overall - 10
I'm not a freakin' quality
control person, guys! If you
are going to send in games,
for god's sake, at least try
to play through them ONCE!!
The "Start" board was the
title screen. I had to go in
and change that. The game
ran in darkness when I exit-
ed the cave since someone
didn't reset the color inte-
nsity. After that, I didn't
have any idea what was happ-
ening and the game basically
stopped.
Yes, in 24 hours I can
expect some bugs, but this
is just pathetic. "Test"ing
each board individually
simply doesn't work.
Theme - 12
Go find people on a mysteri-
ous planet. Not original,
but it works.
Gameplay- 9
I have a major beef when it
comes to having robots
control my character. It
makes the player sluggish
and totally screws up shoot-
ing. The code for it was
extremely well-constructed,
but still, bad bad bad.
Graphics- 10
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL
graphics in this game. I
don't know what else to say.
Totally breathtaking.
Sound - 8
One point docked because
some of the MODs were
missing (which is strange
because there was an
apparent list on the test
board of all of them.
All of those were included,
but they still weren't all
there. Oh well.
Another docked because they
didn't include any of the
SAM files. When I played the
"boss" (in test mode, since
it was impossible to get th-
ere in-game without serious
recoding), whenever it shot
its laser, I got a SAM not
found error. Very icky.

5105 - "Space Scout" *WINNER*
-------------------
Overall - 24
This game is the winner IMO
because it actually involved
exploring and discovering,
and it involved some think-
ing. It was semi-linear,
not totally linear, which
was also a plus.
Theme - 12
You had to explore the isla-
nd to find people and things
that would get you off there
and back on with life.
Gameplay- 8
Basic Inventory-based adven-
ture without player-
inventory interaction.
Plot - 15
You had to explore the isla-
nd to find people and things
that would get you off there
and back on with life.
You also had to save your
co-pilot from death. And you
got the girl! w00t!
Graphics- 5
Some customization, some
default Megazeux graphics.
Sound - 9
For using only two MODs, the
game artist did a remarkable
job of using them well to
convey the atmosphere.
-------------------
-------------------
5236 - "The Secret of Conflict Island" *RUNNER UP*
-------------------
Overall - 23
Very nicely done, especial-
ly for 24 hours. There we-
re a few outstanding bugs,
mostly causing the player
to permenenantly freeze up.
And the plot was cliched.
But other than that, the
game was a real hit.
Theme - 10
Erm, well, you didn't real-
ly have to EXPLORE...
Gameplay- 13
Most definately a first for
Megazeux was the gameplay.
Unfortunately, it appeared
that they didn't finish it
and it was severly flawed.
Plot - 9
I don't like cheap rip-offs
of other games. `Nuff said.
Graphics- 9
Very nice.
Sound - 10
Excellent use of ORIGINAL
music and sound effects.
-------------------

5666 - "The Horror....."
-------------------
Overall - 9
Hey. They tried...kinda.
...
It was nice to look at,
okay?!
Theme - 0
*cough*
Gameplay- 0
No gameplay.
Plot - 10
Wake up, don't remember any-
thing. I'm going to assume
that if this had actually
been a game you would have
to explore the island to se-
arch for your lost identity.
But it was that "dastardly
team 5666!"
Graphics- 10
Beautifully hand-drawn beach
scene.
Sound - 0
No sound.
-------------------
-------------------
6068 - "Xpedition"
-------------------
Overall - 14 (Average of Other Judges Scores -Ib)
Theme - 12
Gameplay- 8
BtB in its entirety, includ-
ing the required space-bar
pressing.
Plot - 10
Eh..eheheh...
Graphics- 9
Nice.
Sound - 9
No SFX, Good Music (but a
bit weird).
-------------------
-------------------
6361 - "Soul Excursion"
-------------------
Overall - 15
Somehow, I doubt that this
was made in less than 24
hours, and since it has,
ehm, NOTHING to do with the
theme (unless you want to
get philisophical and say
that you were exploring the
brain of a girl) I wouldn't
be surprised if they did
work on it before the star-
ting time.
Theme - 5
I give them 5 because the
thing really didn't have
much of anything to do with
exploration--it would have
been excellent if the DoZ
topic had been, like, love
or soul or something, but
it wasn't, so here we are.
Gameplay- 12
A twist between an RPG and
an adventure game. Reminds
me of...umm...a Duky Inc.
game.
Plot - 10
The plot was basically esc-
ape from the evil stone
land. Hmm...wrong DoZ. :)
Graphics- 10
Wow.
Sound - 8
Excellent, original music,
but a lack of sound effects
keeps this from being a pe-
rfect 10.
