A Pirate Kart is a very very inclusive game compilation made in a hurry. Jeremy Penner came up with the idea for the first Pirate Kart as a way for the Glorious Trainwrecks community to collaborate on something for TIGSource's "B-Game" competition. To galvanize the community, he set an absurd goal: make 100 games in 48 hours and package them as a single entry in the competition.

The IGF Pirate Kart continues the spirit of the Pirate Kart but with a new twist: instead of making brand new games for it, mostly people are entering the games that they are proud of, but not "big" or "polished" or "real" enough to be worth the entry fee.

Well this seems like a rather good deal.  Three hundred games for the price of none!

It's being entered into IGF as a single entity and I absolutely cannot wait to see how it does.

The games!
The mandatory RPS link!

Be sure to share any gems you find in there

Hehe, I laughed at the end of the game list:

You Have To Go Down The Hole
You Have to Knock the Penis
You Have to Put the Ball in the Cup
You Have to Put the Candy Cane in the Stocking
You Have to Put the George Washington in the American Flag
You Have to Put the Indie Game in the Contest
You Have to Put the Spider in the Jack-O-Lantern

I'm seeing a trend here.

40 minute download? Argghh!!

Heh for me it'd take about..oh... 15ish hours of downloading, depending on how well my speed holds up. :p

Hopefully I'm not the only one who imagines pirates in go-karts (like Mario Kart) whenever I see the name.

Same...
Now I want an actual Pirate Mario Kart.
[/lol off topic]

I wish I thought of this contest idea.

[Yoink]

Yeah, I was so ****ing disappointed just then... I expected (customisable!) bearded swashbucklers speeding about a track in a classic kart-racer, chuckin' bombs and exploding parrots at each other, driving wheeled pirate ships over jumps and across coral reefs, with a 80s speed metal/baroque flute soundtrack...
Someone, make this game!

[webadict]

It was the second part of the thread title that threw me off. I was like "300 pirate racing games? Not possible!"

What, no "You Have to Put the Bullet in the Man" ? I hear those are pretty popular.

I'm getting 1.4kb a second on the torrent link and 3.5 mb a second on the direct download.
What is this I don't even.

Strange. I'm getting ~300kb/s on the torrent link.

[lordcooper]

200 kb/s on the torrent.  Which is amazing, seeing that my average DL speed is around 130kb/s, even on Steam.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Well, we did determine that I leech everyone's steam download speed, I must have increased my influence to normal download as well.
