The original Gunshy game said to make your own tiles and background, so I did. This "Women on Tiles" version contains beautiful women condensed into 32 by 32 pixel tiles. Your incentive to remove them all is to see the picture of the beautiful woman in the background. This version requires 256 colors and uses1 meg of RAM.
Gunshy is basically a memory game. You must remove tiles in pairs until they're all gone. The trick is that there are two pairs of each tile and so you must be careful to remove them is such a way so as not to need a particular tile to continue. If you you do run into a dead end, you can undo previously removed tiles by hitting the Delete key. You can undo any number of tile removals all the way back to the beginning of the game. Try to develop a strategy to avoid this.
The women in the tiles are: Ashley Montana, Laura and Norma from Twin Peaks, Elle McPherson, Cheryl Tiegs, The Electric Eye BBS girls (Kay, Monique, and Lissa), the Inside Sports cover girl, women from icons submitted by BigDan2 and Witch38, Traci Lords, and several miscellenous GIFs, PICTs, and other images. The background is a cropped version of the "Girls of Summer" GIF. I'd like to thank all of the AOL contributors whose images make up this version. If anyone has any good icons along this theme, please send them to me (and post them).
This is actually the 2nd upload attempt. The first was disallowed for being too racy and containing copyrighted images (even though this is a freeware game). If you want something more, a much better version has been posted on X-Tronic Connections.
The big problem is that Gunshy, being an older program, uses only the standard system colors. So aside from just having to take icl8's, GIF's, and PICT's and converting them to CICN's; many of the icons still looked pretty good even at this point. I then had to take them off their custom color palette and make them use the system palette which made most of them look horrible. The best surviors are what you see in this version. (Likewise the background PICT also must use the standard system palette.) If any programer out there wants to upgrade Gunshy to be CLUT capable, please do so and I'll send you a much better version of tiles.
I'd especially like to thank SKrouse whose Freeware "Icon Grabber FKEY" was invaluable in doing this. Also, I'd like to thank KevinM17, author of GIFConverter, whose instruction manuel I found highly educational, E.C. Horvath, for making the original game, Philippe Demirtjis, for making version 2 of Gunshy which is System 7.X compatible, Exter, for telling me what I already knew, but was kind enough to respond to my plea for help, and the X-Tronic BBS, perhaps the best adult BBS around.
Please send any comments to Ivan One. :) it's Freeware.
