for some reason i keep finding these weird little games on bittorrent sites. they look authenctic, they don't look fan made, and if they are then they did a hell of a job. so far i've across a kart racing one, a snowball one, and a volley ball on. pretty fun despite being from such a lame show.

anyone what these are exactly?

I have all of these games and a couple more; there's even a demo for the fighting game here and I'm not sure what you mean by authentic. I am pretty sure that most of these, if not all, are fan-made, and several doujin-games are pretty high quality - my favorites being, The Queen of Heart '99, Party's Breaker, and Melty Blood. Just because it's fan-made, doesn't mean it can't be good.

Oh, and is it just me, or is it fashionable to snipe at Azumanga Daioh? I think that people not liking it around here is already a general consensus, and it does no good to beat it into the ground.

Well, at least they're just bashing the show and not making baseless personal insults at its fanbase like that KUROSUFAIYAH! column did.

Yeah...according to them, I'm either a pedophile or I'm the kind of idiot that finds movies like Kangaroo Jack or Van Wilder to be quality entertainment. For the record, I am neither. And hell, Asuka & Rei from Evangelion are veritable sex idols among anime fans, and all the Azumanga characters barring Chiyo are older than them...so why don't the people that get off on Asuka/Rei hentai get labeled pedos? Confused

Anyway, that's just my take. I can put up with people saying negative criticisms about the show, but making ignorant generalisations about the people that DO like it is crossing a line...KUROSUFAIYAH! not only crossed that line, but took a trip around the world to cross it again.

And since I get the feeling I'll be banned soon for my comments here, I guess I'll see ya around...

I assume you've seen the show? All or most of it?


I at least saw almost all of Blue Gender before I started hacking on it....

Let's not go there. There is a reason why I didn't post in there.

I tried the snowball and the very 'Mario Kart' kart racer, and both are okay, even though the snowball one does get boring after the 5th level. The Volleyball one didn't have any seeds, so I'm going to wait abit.

Confused Azumanga Daioh or Blue Gender. If it about AD, not all, but if's BG, wrong topic pal.

Just felt like saying my peace on the matter since I happen to be a good fan of the show and the thread was closed by the time I started posting here. I'm done with it now.

Hi, I'm new to the forums so go easy on me.

Besides the fan-made Azumanga games, there are a couple of official games out there. There was a Playstation mahjong game and a card game for the Game Boy Advance. Both of them are available in Japan only. There is a demo for the card game available at the following link:
