Post by: shinygerbil on March 18, 2008, 11:58:07 pm: Well, I want it on a Gameboy SP.

Not a Gameboy Advance SP, just a Gameboy SP.

Post by: inkblob on March 19, 2008, 12:57:50 am: a port for the ti994a would be wonderful, not the ti994 mind you, the 4a has superior graphics capabilities and a more intuitive keyboard layout.

Also that it's still wrong PC means computer and Mac's ARE computers.
Title: Re: I'd like to see a more pixelized version for the Gameboy SP
Post by: Xiagan on March 20, 2008, 07:53:05 pm: Nope, "Personal Computer" is something that was first a computer labeled with "IBM-compatible" and is now something "Windows-compatible". The term may weaken, but I think it is still something with Windows only.

Yup. My Mac is a public computer. It just feels so naughty when people watch. ;)

Also, continuing the terrible legacy of the original post, I say they should forget the consoles and make a text only version for the Amiga. That'll teach 'em!

Post by: Alphasoldier on March 25, 2008, 11:03:11 pm: That pic wins and is too true, might as well throw Linux in there too as a hippie or something.

And Sartan, no on text, yes on no consoles, I seriously think Aquaria should remain on the comp, seeing they will (hopefully) make a lot of mods.

Post by: Glamador on March 26, 2008, 02:45:31 am: Well, technically it's Windows that can run games...not PCs. My friend has a Mac notebook (We have to stop calling them laptops since that stupid lady sued for a burned lap...idiocy) and he uses bootcamp to install Windows as well, so he's got all the reliability and media functions of a mac, with all the gaming of the Windows operating system.

Her clothing and genitalia literally became the same object. Maybe just a little research wouldn't hurt?

Post by: Glamador on March 26, 2008, 06:57:31 pm: And how does this mean we can't call them laptops? They go on your lap! Just because one laptop generated extra heat is no reason to change the well-known term. That's like changing the name of coffee to "don't spill this on your lap drink." Sure the company is obviously at fault, but the name? The simple fact is, they were originally intended (and are still used for) LAP TOP computing. It's not a notebook dammit!

Post by: Alphasoldier on March 26, 2008, 10:05:21 pm: This doesn't happen a lot, but I totally concur with Glamador, he's totally right, just like some stupid americans who need a "Look out, this is hot" sign for a microwave dinner, seriously pathetic.
Title: Re: I'd like to see a more pixelized version for the Gameboy SP
Post by: Glamador on March 26, 2008, 11:20:01 pm: Well...I live in America...but I don't sue at the drop of a hat. Of course if the hat were made of stone...and it fell on my leg...well then maybe I'd sue.

Post by: Zixinus on March 27, 2008, 11:35:51 pm: Broadening Aquaria to other platforms may be profitable and worthwhile. How about the Wii for example? It would be great, and with a little work, Aquaria could take advantage of its Wiimote.

I don't know about other consoles. To be honest, I don't play them.

Would Aquaria work on the Nintendo DS?

As for Mac vs Wnidows, I have a better comic:

Seriously, its rather futile in the end. Preference and taste. Some people prefer Windows while others prefer macs.

To the original point of that, I think that porting Aquaria to macs can work if they allow it.

As for Linux, then it really comes to apples and oranges. Linux has many versions ("distros", I think) and are really more for people who are computing experts and prefer to work in a more controlled environment.

I agree.

Furthermore, when you put a block of complex electronics that conducts heavy traffic, heat is expected. Because, ya'know, its kinda how electricity works. Conductivity, the principle behind transistors and that lot.

Post by: Glamador on March 28, 2008, 02:06:47 am: ACK! OMG! DO WANT. I'd seriously buy 10 copies (Ok not seriously, jokingly). But I'd buy 1 at the very least! And force my sister and friends to buy more! I think my love of Aquaria has officially reached fanatical levels...

Post by: Two Jacks on April 05, 2008, 10:39:20 am: Wow, that looks like a good idea in the making for the hand held market.

Would this be for PSP or DS? Both would be great, but if you have to choose one go with DS. That's what I own. ;)
