« on: July 23, 2002, 05:10:00 pm »

Armok needs new screenshots.  Kurtulmak had many pictures of Epic-Kobold-Battle but alas...  al Qaeda has blow up the HQ of Kurtulmak's cable-provider and he has to use the lame-ass facilites at Olympic Colledge to merely communcate with sub-beings.

So Kurtulmak now opens ScreenShot contest!

Rules:

1: Pictures must be posted here or sent to toadyone@bay12games.com

2: files must be < 50k

3: Winners chosen by Violence, Creature Originality, # Game features shown, and funniest messages ie. "it flops to the ground"

When you are in the game, press Alt + PrintScreen.  This will put the image in the clipboard.  Then you can load up something like Paint and Paste the image.  Later save it as a jpeg so it will be small enough to send.

Try to get it under 1/2 meg and maybe we can crop it for you if we don't have too many other entries.  You must have an old version of Paint.  Usually you can just change the file type and re-save.
