Florida (rewrite)

“Seriously, mom. It'd be good for you.” her daughter said.

“I don't want to go to Florida. I refuse!” Olivia replied.

“I worry about you up there, mom. You're not getting any younger, and there isn't anyone up there if you get hurt.”

“So come up here, then! I refuse to associate with those hideous casino people.”

One Must Fall 2097 (MS-DOS)

I optimized the scoring system for fighting games. Tell me what you think.
The Main Menu. The music will get stuck in your head.
One Must Fall 2097 was my introduction to the fighting game genre, and it left one hell of an impression. To this day, I still hold it as one of the best fighting games I've played. Also, it is about giant robots beating each other up, and it is awesome.

No way to dodge this

“It was almost midnight, I think. I was shopping for groceries, and I had just parked my car under the streetlamp when I was ambushed by a local gang. I've lived in this neighborhood for ten years, so I know how to handle some punks trying to pull shit, you know?

One of them shouted to me as he walked towards me. “Yo, big guy! Drop the bags, and no one gets hurt.”
