Oh thank you for replying...
Laptop is vista: Pc is xp
and don't know exacts of 32/64, laptop is newer and I'm quite sure does both, pc is circa 2004 with updated yet cheapo graphics card and basic xp install... soo 32? I don't know these technical terms, I had a dude that helped with all that.
Edit* The level editor part will actually bring up the loading screen before it freezes up, if that helps...

I believe I tried to run this game without my internet connected the other day. There is an intro screen that comes up with something like a "launch game" and "launch level editor" type buttons on it. This home page does try to access the internet, I know that much. But it should still load, but the screen content will just not be there. But once you click the "launch game" button and play the game itself, I don't think that needs an internet connection. I could be wrong on that. I think I just started a game and played for a few seconds. So there wasn't any level of extensive testing on that...
If anyone has any idea on how to launch the game directly, and bypass that first screen, I'd be interested in knowing how to do that. I don't plan on doing the level editor, and for the sake of launching the game from my Mala game menu, it would seem like launching directly into the game would be the best idea...
garwil:
Yeah, it's a great game but I've never been able to get it to launch from a FE.

I downloaded this game on my laptop, and it plays; but when I try to play it on the pc in my cabinet it won't run, no error messages or anything just kinda bogs everything down and stops responding. I'm wondering if I have to have an internet connection to make this game run (don't have one on my cab, don't want one on my cab...)? It looks like my pc meets the specs required to run this thing, any thoughts on this? Please help :cry:

Seems like it crashes in any resolution under 1024x768 in Windows XP.
I played this game in single player mode for about an hour. Pretty decent, but the level design so far is kinda easy and boring to me. If you've played all the official nintendo games this is a piece of cake. Maybe it gets much harder later on. I do like the remixed music though, and it has nice bright colorful graphics from all the different games meshed together well.
Sometimes when I play games like these it makes me wish I could build a little cocktail or red-tent style cab that is set up specifically for these types of indie PC games. It would need a higher res monitor, and probably a little analog stick and tracball for a mouse.

Thanks Jack... betcha that's it I'm on a really weak resolution since my "monitor" is an older 27" television running s-video, I'll give the resolution adjustment a shot.
