The resurrection is coming...

by backtracking · in Game Design and Creative Issues · 08/09/2005 (10:10 am) · 9 replies

Hello to Everyone at Garagegames,

Some of you know I work at EA as a Tester. Some of you know me as doing my indie games with AGFRAG.

Well, I'm back at EA as of July, and it has gone well.

I wish I could tell you guys how well, but all I can say is I would like every single one of you to add your name to this petition PLEASE, if you agree with it.

www.petitiononline.com/MLF/

Please use your real names, and why you'd like the game mentioned brought back.

I'm working insanely hard to succeed to resurrect fun games, please know this. ;)

We need over 1,000 names on the petition. If by some miracle we got 2,000+, it would help.

Thank you,

Joseph

I signed even though I've never played it, just because I'm tired of clones.

Signed with the comment:

"We definitely need more than just licensed sports titles. Games like MLF allow designers to take creative freedoms with the sport, and this can create a wonderful new experience. It also has franchise capability (Mutant League Hockey/Baseball, etc...)."

I didn't create the petition but, we do need alot of names on it, especially by the end of this month.

Improved ports would come first, then totally new games IF um, that's what happens...

Feel free to include any suggestions of how the series could be improved.

Thanks.

My honest suggestion as to how it could be improved would be to leave it alone unless there was actually an idea and driving force behind the game already. There wasn't any documentation with the petition stating the gameplay, so it's a free for all. I wouldn't want a developer to get their hopes up, and I wouldn't want a gamer to be misled. The best way to resurrect fun games is to draw the public's attention to those "dead" games that already exist. The only reason why they are dead is because we have the compulsion to buy new unestablished games rather than cheap used proven hits. Making more and more of these new games without an honest fire behind them will only feed our society's habbit and put those older classics further down the used game bin.

What about a link to a site showing at least a screenshot of MLF.

Is it like Speedball and Speedball 2 ?
