Atomic Robot's Freedom Force Gallery: Update: Atomic Robot's Freedom Force Skins now Online

This post originally appeared, in a somewhat different format, on my old website, "Atomic Robot's Freedom Force Gallery" at www.geocities.com/robotatomic.  That website is now offline, although an archived version of it is available at http://www.oocities.org/robotatomic/index.html.  Much of the information is now out of date, and many of the links may be inactive, but I'm keeping it online here for posterity's sake.

Atomic Robot's Freedom Force Skins now Online
I've started a Yahoo Group to host my skins. It's called Atomic Robot's Freedom Force Skins, and it's address is http://groups.yahoo.com/group/atomicrobotskins/. So far I've added the skins from page one of the Pop Culture section of these pages. Those skins are:

• Larry Wilcox as Officer Jon Baker
• Erik Estrada as Officer Frank 'Ponch' Poncherello
• Barry Williams as Greg Brady
• Maureen McCormick as Marcia Brady
• Yvonne Craig as Batgirl
• Ron Howard as Richie Cunningham
• Henry Winkler as The Fonz
• Anson Williams as Potsie
• Donny Most as Ralph the Mouth

You can click on the Pop Culture links for pictures and information about these skins, and you can go over to the Yahoo Group to download them. The skins are currently available in two versions, a standard sized version (256x256), and an oversized version (512x512) for higher resolution. The High Resolution versions look better in the Character Tool, but they can slow down the game. I'm thinking about removing the High Res versions, because they take up a lot of space. if anyone has an opinion on this, please let me know.

This is an early version of this webpage, I'm still working out a few bugs and what not before it's done. I will not be making skins available to download from this page, because this is just a free webpage with limited bandwidth. Instead, I'll be setting up a seperate site (possibly a Yahoo group, but I'm not sure yet) where I will direct you to download the skins. You can use this site to preview my skins before you download them, and to see what new things I'm working on, and stuff like that. All the links should be working, and most of the pictures should be up as well, so feel free to take an early look around.
 
Most of these skins are still available from freedomforcecenter.com, but I have since updated most of them with minor tweaks and improvements. I also have several skins that have not been released anywhere. They are:

• Yvonne Craig as Batgirl
• Donny Most as Ralph the Mouth
• Batman
• "New Look" Batman
• Robin
• Batgirl
• Two-Face (this is not the same Two-Face skin I had made earlier, it's completely new)
• Bruce Wayne
• Superman
• Clark Kent
• Bizarro No. 1
• A Bizarro Superman
• Aquaman
• The Atom
• The Flash
• Green Lantern
• Hawkman
• The Manhunter from Mars
• Snapper Carr
• Wonder Woman
• Green Arrow
• ...and most of the skins in the "Mystery Skins" section. 

 

The Hardy Boys / Nancy Drew Mysteries

From Glen A. Larson, the genius TV producer who brought us The Six Million Dollar Man and Quincy. This show starts off great, with super creepy theme music, as the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew run through some weird scale model maze and a montage of book covers. As the credits end the announcer speaks, and you hold your breath, hoping it will be a Hardy Boys episode, and Not an (ugh) Nancy Drew.

I hate waiting an entire week (or two if they show a Nancy Drew episode) to get my Hardy Boys fix, so I record the episodes on my sweet portable cassette tape recorder, and add narration as I watch. Then I can listen to the episodes again and again, and replay the images in my mind.

Just Arrived on Earth

"My Birth Photo"

Just arrived on Earth. So far I think the humans are a little odd, but that's okay, I guess. Just gonna take some getting used to.
