beatles helpgame sprites

2nd of Sep, 2000ce* in: kleber, pixelart, websites

Sprite sheet for the Beatles Helpgame.

It was a long time ago when we produced this game at Kleber, it all came about before “habbos hotel” (to claim second place on multiplayer isometric pixel chat rooms, after the legendary but forgotten Mobiles Disco). Not that it did us any good, myself and the programmer slogged it out for three months to make a game that was never publicised and is virtually unheard of. I did all the graphics and a lot of the game design.

The site has long since been offline, but I have linked a fan site in the archive in this post.

I played this game like everyday. I cannot believe it was removed. Is there anyway you can post it here?

why was it removed!?

I was very disappointed when the game disappeared. :( It was a great place to meet Beatles fans from all over the world and it was a lot of fun to play. I was always proud to show it off to friends. Everyone loved it.

Hey!

This is SHMEE! also known by GeorRing. My friend Planck and I used to play everyday!! We were so sad when it shut down! We had to find a nother way to communicate..

Wish there was another Beatles website we could have went to after Helpgame closed.

This game was the greatest thing to ever happen to the Internet. I made so many friends on it from all over the world that I’ve kept in touch with for years! I’ve been checking back pretty much every week since it disappeared, hoping for its return… :P
Is there really no way to maybe change it around a little and get past Apple’s evilness, or make it private or SOMETHING? I’d be willing to donate any time/money necessary to get this thing back up, if only it were possible…

Kalinka, the original files were lost, the game was too easy to hack etc etc. would be nice to make something again one day - but you should remember helpgame as an enigma.

recently

Spectro Japan

Spectro asked Eat Creative to re-design their website to bring it into line with the global relaunch.

Eat Creative

Eat’s new website is released, with a focus on; simplicity, style & standards. It also comes in 5 fresh eye-pleasing colours!

CS4 looms; my favourite quotes from "dear adobe"

With the imminent release of CS34, I take a look at the funny side of the long requested features from users of Adobe products.
