Reviews for "Drinking with Starfleet"
damn worf can drink
i beat him with my gauge full....this is about as original as you can get with star trek....well done my man!
Recently replayed this one...
I remember it took me a couple tries to beat all 5 of 'em the first time around in April. One thing about this game: there's not an insane amount of replay value... even 3 months later. Oh well. #;-}>
Now, as to the game itself... firstly, I must commend you on the disgusting esophagus-ish puke meter. Hilarious. Is the dude holding the warp coolant and bread you in Starfleet garb? I thought there was some rule that only Riker was allowed to have a goatee! heh.
Speaking of Riker... where is he?! I mean... Picard being there is great... Worf can drink anyone under the table... O'Brien's not a major character, but he IS Irish, so okay...
But I think the main fault of this game is that 2 of the 5 slots are taken up by BOTH of the Crushers. Having Wesley there to beat up on would be okay, but then Bev's there, too. Having seen the Picard music video and now knowing you have a "soft" spot for her, perhaps that explains it... but I think her spot would be better taken by Riker or even someone like Tasha Yar. I bet she could drink up a storm. Or hell, even Data. Though I'm not sure what his drink of choice would be. But anywho...
A) Wesley. Romulan Ale is teh "weak" drink, I guess? Somewhat amusing to watch him go down after a mere 8 tiny-glassfuls. The way O'Brien's watching me over Wesley's shoulder is kinda creepy, BTW. Heh.
B) Worf manages to take 18 gulps of blood wine. Not too bad. There is a certain satisfaction in making the manly Klingon vomit all over himself to that horrible, horrible Stan Bush song. O_o
C) O'Brien and We Didn't Start the Fire, eh? He made it as far as Worf did with 18. Then again, it was back to Romulan Ale for him, the standard drink it seems. I dunno, but shouldn't he have some Irish Whiskey or something instead?
D) Beverly Crusher... and a THIRD round of Romulan Ales... bleh! My character is getting REALLY tired of this drink... but he buckles down and drinks along with Stayin' Alive a bit more. 12 glasses and she's down for the count. At least she can outdrink her son, eh?
E) PICARD. Awww yeah. Great music choice, too. Accompanyin' the hard earl grey. I'm not sure what was added to it to MAKE it hard, but if it can take down Jean-Luc after "only" (heh) 20 drinks... it must be damned hard cause he's the MAN.
In summary... the music was eh for Wes and Worf but somehow fitting and enjoyable for O'Brien, Bev, and Picard. Overall, a fun game that I didn't mind playing again after all these months... but I wish you'd make a sequel with rematches against Picard and Worf... and the addition of Data, Riker... and a 5th drinker. Geordi? Tasha? Someone else?
Great Game
Wesley shouldn't even be considered competition!
NO glitch
No cool154, there is no glitch, you're just stupid. Your blood alcohol level or pukometer or whatever it is, it has to be above a certain level before you CAN use the bread, presumably because it subtracts a certain amount and if you're not at that amount or higher, it won't let you use it. Kind of like if doom didn't let you grab the 25% med kits unless your health was 75% or less, though Doom lets you get it when you're at anything under 100% and waste whatever excess there is.
I like the picture at the end, of them all puking. That picture, if nothing else is, is definitely worth a thousand words.
This is actually a demented version of the knapsack problem. The way I ended up winning it was to drink against Picard first, use the bread, drink against Worf, use the warp coolant, and then go against the other 3 consecutively. You know it's going to be close no matter what you do. It wouldn't be an interesting game if it wasn't. The two things you don't want to do are 1: drink too fast, or else you may end up taking two drinks while your opponent only takes 1, and 2: accidentally hit the button to drink again after they start puking. You need to put to work every sip you take. You have enough leeway following the sequence I gave you to mess up ONCE. Though you can probably mess up twice if it's with the Romulan Ale.
