Vic Kombat

For any Mac users who happen to be reading this, there's a great shareware game that was something of a "cult classic" many years ago. In fact, for several months it was the #1 most downloaded Mac game at CNET.com, and even made it into magazine reviews around the world as far away as Japan. Oh, and you might recognize the main character in the game, since it's me :-).

Unfortunately I can't say I had much of a role in the development of the game, those honors went to my friend Jim who did all the design and coding. I was just the "model". We did all the "photography" for the game in one afternoon with one of the original B&W Quickcams. Jim then added some Photoshop effects and created the game in C using completely custom developed code.

If you do try to install and play, you might have to jump through a few hoops if you're running a newer system. I don't know a thing about Macs, but considering the game is about 7-8 years old I assume it will run too fast on current processors. If you do try it out, be sure to drop me a line here: Guestbook
