Post by: Pixel_Outlaw on September 03, 2011


This is beyond hilarious and sad at the same time.

Yeah, Solo2 is well known for selling the source code to the things he makes on ebay and his own website too.  I used to think that he was a made up person like shanethewolf just to troll the scene but he's still releasing his stuff even after being banned from Pouet.

He's certainly got a unique perspective on the world !

Maybe we should really try and sell the entries from the cancelled BITS challenge. (Entry: 1 (http://www.dbfinteractive.com/forum/index.php?topic=4322.0),2 (http://www.dbfinteractive.com/forum/index.php?topic=4346.0),3 (http://www.dbfinteractive.com/forum/index.php?topic=4352.0),4 (http://www.dbfinteractive.com/forum/index.php?topic=4348.0),5 (http://www.dbfinteractive.com/forum/index.php?topic=4349.0)) We surely'd get more money than Solo2.  ;D

If they put up the code for BITS #10000, I would be in there so fast it'd be fucking unreal. I wonder if Solo would sign the box for me?

I'm not too much into spanish law but I'm wondering if he has a trade license... :)

He might be strange, but he's got a tax ID number and is listed in the trade register. (!) All his contact info is available on ebay btw. So if someone wants to give him a call or send a fax... ;D
Anyway, it's sick to sell this crap, but actually it's even sicker that some people actually buy it. Or maybe it's his alter egos who buy it...

I've coded crap worse than this - without trying much. Maybe I can score some big wonga. ;)

No, but I've been accused of trolling before.

That was a tough crowd.

Who's up for "Higher Res Worms"?

Is that a hands up for the "BITS" style or for a genuinely better version?

I'll try both.

It's a hands up for "Higher Res Worms". The rest is completely up to you. But the BITS the BETTER...  ;)

These remind me of some Sonic the Hedgeog ROM hacks where the level layouts and colour schemes are all wrong, but they were done that way on purpose as a joke.

I have finally dug out the original "sauce" code. The Higher and Lower versions should be ready for November.
