1521 1522 1523 1524 1525 1526 >>>> | 15 Years On Bike! | thedudeguy |  |  | I took a stab at a 'BoD spiritual successor', but egads I found I'm out of my element trying to work out a physics engine. I was able to extract some of the structured data from the level files, which is promising (and I could even see becoming a new way to make a level editor on any platform), but it's not particularly useful as you wouldn't be able to test. Ultimately, without the physics engine source code (however messy) I don't think I can replicate.
In trying to find more recent contact info, I've found a few recent academic works from Sz, most around hefty simulations and supercomputing, so at least he's still kicking! (If he's on a PhD path I wish him luck, or hope he's already succeeded!) |

| Time Trial Champions | HRaul |  | | I need BoD back into my life!!! Even I'm considering to buy an used Palm Treo so I can remember those good days (: |
|
| Time Trial Champions | pzdc |  | | Hey! Just saying that BoD2 is still working perfectly on my old iPhone 4s with iOS 6! Even things like registration, uploading scores and one-click installing levelpacks from the site into the game – it works flawlessly! I urge you to keep the site running!
Also to whoever wants BoD back in their life – old iphones are dirt cheap and it's worth owning one for this game alone  |

| Time Trial Champions | torrobinson |  | | Oh my sweet lord, this is nostalgic! For reference, when I was 15, I had payment issues buying Bike or Die and ended up "trading" Szymon MMPlayer ( a PPC app) for this game. Now I'm 30 and just got an email about my rank going down and was like.... good lord this site is still up! It makes me very happy that this thing is still running! Bike or Die was THE game to play on PPC and I spent many sleepless nights trying to beat high scores. |

If you look on this site it looks like SZ and Maciej Komosinski worked on this program together. Has anyone tried getting in touch with Maciej to see if he is still in contact or would know how to get in contact with him? Looks like Maciej was/is a professor at poznan University of technology.....I started looking through their staff on the website but its hard to find the faculty page as most of the site is in Polish and google translating the page I think makes it pretty confusing for an english speaker...I am not sure if he still works there or not, but I also looked up framsticks on youtube and found that The framsticks program has uploaded videos on youtube as recent as 5 months ago....(I am writing this post as I continue to dig) the guy hosting the videos on youtube...MIGHT be Maciej, I am not 100% sure. Even if it is him, it doesn't mean he is still in contact with sz, but sz is still listed on the framsticks home page as being one of the founders of the program so there is a solid chance there. |

^^ Seems to be his personal home page. It does list an email address. |

| Time Trial Champions | Mr.pickle. | | | Has anyone tried the game Impossible Road on apple arcade? Its not primarily a game where people upload runs, it tends to be more single player but some of the modes you can play (specifically the daily track) is very similar to BOD. People compete for 24 hours trying to get the fastest run through the daily track. A lot of times at the start of the day it will be 40 seconds and by the end of the day the fastest will be 20 seconds. It reminds me of all of us playing non stop when a new level pqck qould come out trying to stay on top. I have been enjoying it on Apple Arcade and thought i would mention it here if anyone else has that itch they just cant seem to scratch! |
|
| Time Trial Champions | Mr.pickle. | | | Note: The game is called “Super Impossible Road” not just impossible road. |
|
| Kamirashi's game on Hill Marathon | Kamirashi |  | | A gold to get some activity ^^ anyone else still able to play this game? |
|
| Time Trial Champions | Kamirashi | | | I've played "impossible road" not "super impossible road". I guess I'm too much of a cheapskate to pay for apple arcade ^^ but if they're anything alike I definitely need to check it out! |
|
| Kamirashi's game on Hill Marathon | PMD |  | | Love it! What kind of device are you playing on? I'd probably play some, but my only device that I think I can play on is a Palm Treo which is beat up and doesn't hold much of a charge. |
|
| Kamirashi's game on Hill Marathon | Kamirashi | | | I bought a gen 1 iPad a few years back specifically for this game ^^ the software on them is old enough to run the game with no issues
I’m not sure if it’s still possible to get the game from the app store though. Might be possible if you already bought it.. |
|
| Kamirashi's game on Steps | Kamirashi | | | Really messed up the ending, but at least I didn't die xD |

| Time Trial Champions | Laser |  | | Agree with everything Vega wrote. |

| Time Trial Champions | Mr.pickle. | | | Best lead I have been able to find on finding SZ is the youtube channel of the guy who he made framsticks with all that time ago (see my post in 15 years on bike for more info). I would bet given the circumstances sz would sell us the game for a relatively small amount of money. But that doesn’t do any good unless we can track him down and get in contact with him. Has anyone tried to send an email or contact his old business partner to see if they have contact information for him? |
|
| Time Trial Champions | Mr.pickle. | | | I dont even know how to send a message to a youtube channel. The fellow speaks english though, based on a few videos, they made a program together so I would think it feasible he would have an email or even a phone number. |
|
| Time Trial Champions | Vega | | | Several years back I found another game Sz was active with and reached out via email. Offered to buy Bike or Die in full with the intent to breathe life back into the game, this website… the whole kit and caboodle. Never heard back.
I’m not looking to run a gaming business. I just want to see BoD revived like it deserves to be.
Ten thousand other games will come and go, but they ain’t got nothin’ on Bike or Die. Nothing can touch this game.

| Vega's game on Me vs. The Gravity | Vega | | | Landed this run almost 3 years ago. Have had the file just sitting on my pc all this time. Broke into 21.xx  |
|
| Andrew A's game on Expl-O-sion 2.0 | Andrew A |  | | Well - here we are again!
Just had a go at this after a long break, and managed to pip BB. Though not Champ!
I got given a first gen iPad a while ago and I can actually (sort of) view replays on it. The bike has no wheels though!
Will catch up with the forum later - I see there are a few posts since I was last here.
We Bike but we don't Die. So not dead yet then - ha!
Laters innit.... |

But I just tried on my iphone and (to my surprise) somehow my pw was autostored in the browser. Crazy because I have no recollection of ever logging in on my iphone
