I think you guys should pay attention to this game
http://www.gamesheep.com/game/monster-truck-trials/

This may be ‘rip off’ of your games too as the other bike flash arcades:)
Good luck in witch-hunt:)

By the way the good game, but that version on gametop better than these two halves.

Thanks for ripping our Monster truck game. Also nice work combining it to our Trials game by adding Trials at the end.

Original can be found from here:

Cheers to hand made games!

Windows XP pro ver.2002,service pack3, Dell xps600, 3g ram, 14.9gb harddrive, 97.6gb free.
The first game, I ended up deleting due to freezing my puter and nothing but a black screen..
This Monster truck, downloaded fine,installed fine,started quickly,I think the graphices are very good,grandkids loved the sounds,(drove me nuts).
Would love this game If I had more control,like
1.able to make the window smaller or full size
2.could use a mouse or keyboard
3.could jump the bleeping cans that blow up
4.The truck wouldn’t flip over quite so easily
5.I felt the hills the truck was supposed to go up were a bit too
much,should not have been so steep.
My 12yr old grandson played for all of 5 min. and walked away, normally he loves these kind of games. (Xbox called to him)
My 7yr old grandson also loves these types, he tried a bit longer about half an hour, he loved the sounds, he managed to do what I couldn’t (get past those darn first round of barrels that kept blowing me up so I would have to start over.
He got frustrated that some of the hills were so steep the truck kept flipping over. and quit again (Xbox called to him also)
They both said they kind of like the game but also wanted more control.
My 7 yr old granddaughter didn’t try herself, she watched the boys and said too hard..
Thank you for the chance to play,I at least enjoyed trying

After getting it to install properly due to me the users fault

This game plays way way better than Monster Trucks Trials. But there is still plenty of room for improvement. Still a few collision physics issues. Some tweaking is still needed with the controls.

And needs a bit stronger set a graphics

Still a lack luster title. But gives some quicks enjoyment.

@ #57 (James):
I just hope that the few game authors that still come here can look past the “!@#$%^&*” and let others know that there is still a few here that will give them what they are looking at.

@ #56 (WhiteRabbit):
First thank you for the compliment. I am really sorry about missing them and I hope they both know that it was nothing meant in malice. I do/have appreciated both Wiz and rO for their tireless work as well. I guess I mentioned you mostly because I felt like it was an attack on you. Though I do admit freely that those two are doing a fantastic job and have personally added to the hours of free game enjoyment. If you are reading Wiz and rO.. THANK YOU SO MUCH and sorry for not mentioning you as well!

Best Regards,
ibwebb

let me say this, we give our games so that we can test them in the market. We want constructive critics to comment on how good or how bad our games are and maybe give us what they think will improve the game. hats off to the staff for putting up with some of these !@#$%^&* and giving us these games. i thank you even if the game is not my type.

Hi Spiritwolf; Sorry for the delay in answering your query. I was playing Left 4 Dead and totally lost myself for a few hours, lol. With respect to your question about Gametop; it is becoming increasingly common for the games that are being offered to include browser hijack and tool bar installation codes, though they can always be avoided so long as you uncheck the tick boxes during installation. A few years ago none of their games did this, but they seem to be following the trend that was (from what I’ve seen previously) instigated by MyPlayCity. I’d definitely not touch MyPlayCity with a barge pole as they actively force you to have your browser hijacked and you have to allow toolbars to be installed before you can play their games (though there are several from their large catalogue that will allow you to deselect the toolbars and browser hijacking.

As for Gametop, all the games will still open your browser when you close the game down, but it’s not a hijack; and you can close it down with no problems after the closure. I have noticed more pop ups when entering the Gametop site, but that’s probably more to do with my security settings than the site changing its policies. I’d certainly recommend the games from Gametop and from another site called FreeGamesPick. I’ve never had any problems with any of the games I’ve downloaded from either of these sites.

To Watcher and ibwebb, I read your comments with interest and found them both appropriate and well written. I agree wholeheartedly with what you were saying, especially about how the negativity that abounds in these comments sections has probably driven away some developers. I think it started when we were getting games from Double Games back in 2007

I felt like answering vilulf’s comments more aggressively, but decided that it wasn’t worth the effort, besides it would just bring me down to his level (or hers).

Thanks for the support as well. I do have two other community members helping me with the free games project now. (Wizzard of Oz and reverseOrder, both of whome have been brilliant)

“1) Exit the game
2) Edit config.cfg with notepad
3) Change line 7: weight_div = 400 to: weight_div = 500
4) save the file.
5) Start the game”

Thanks Dan. That helped a lot.

at 46, Bob:

Its impossible to go up 45 degree, this breaks the laws of Physics? I think you need to do some more home work there. They have challenges in real life with dune buggies that climb a hill that is more than 45, look it up.

That there is proof enough from the first link on google.
