Neopets' 1000th Game

Post by Rainbow Daydreamer »

New game

I'm a bit mystified, to be honest. After all the fuss they made about it in the news, this game is downright ugly to look at, and without a very exciting concept (they don't even make an attempt at giving it a backstory. Heck, even the Acara watching Adver-Video is called Samo, for goodness' sake.) However, they talk as if it's something much anticipated since way-back-when, so perhaps some older players might know more about it? Or is that another of TNT's jokes like "We're sure nobody has ever heard any stories about evil Meepits before... until now?"

Edit: And the payout's awful.

This isn't a new game: Techo Says is an older game that was removed from the site several years ago. (I think it's in the games graveyard now.)

I wasn't around then but someone on PPT said that Techo Says was the first flash game ever. If this true than resurrecting it as the site's 1000 game is presumably a joke on TNT's part.

I used to like Techo Says. It used to pay better, though.

I don't see how they can count remaking old games count as complete new ones, but to each their own I guess.

I'm surprised they didn't "update" the game in any way though, as the artwork for it is rather old and outdated. That said, I am also happy they didn't, as I haven't liked a single remake of any of the games Neo has done.

I thought it was funny! I remembered playing Techo Says when I was 12 (shit, 8 years ago now), so it made me smile to see it in the news.

YAY for Techo says!

I was gonna make a post similar to this. I didn't know they were trying to pass it off as a "new" game. But it just went to the graveyard, unannounced 5 years ago. with no sequels (Thank God)
The payout *is* relatively crappy, but my best friend and I were deadlocked on who was better at this game. She vowed to beat me, when we were both 18....she still hasn't :P.

I never played this game for the points. It's just an extremely hard version of Simon, that's so challenging, the payout for once is irrelevent. We both love this game, and we're glad that they kept the flat, 1.0 drawings and the voices.

I'm slightly confused too.
The description of the game states:
Techo Says: Experience Techo Says like you've never seen it before! The Neopian classic has been restyled for the ultimate gaming challenge. Following directions has never been so fun!
It says it's been restyled, but I swear that it looks awfully similar to Neo's old-style drawings, and they've got all of the old versions of the pets that pop-up. I've never played the game before but I don't see how it could have been 'restyled for the ultimate gaming challenge'.

But hey, i'm not complaining (well, I was but that's not the point), it takes about two minutes to get 500np or so! Yay.

Yeah, they didn't touch it. It's exactly the same as I remember it.

I'm pretty sure it was the first ever flash game.

Did a Techo always come out and throw things at you as you were playing? I don't remember that.

I'm pretty sure the whole thing is a joke, though, based around it being the first flash game. (Actually, I think it's worn pretty well. I always loved the way the little pets said their names.)

Yes, it did always throw things at you and I hated him almost as much as the dog that laughed at you in Duck Hunt.

....Did you always try to shoot that damn dog? :D
My cousin broke the closing cap on the NES because he was so pissed everytime the dog laughed when the game was over. We were like 8.
