Black Shades
This game won the UDev Game Contest in 2002.

There is one guy in a white suit, you are one guy with a gun or knife, fists or grenades. Oh, you also has mind powers. There are lots of civlians, then there are people trying to kill the man in the white suit. You have to protect the guy in the white suit with your handy dandy knife/fists/guns/mental powers/grenades. As soon as the guy in the white suit dies, you lose.

Weapons (that I have found)

  • Assault Rifle - Very fast shooting gun, you will have to keep it steady for aiming
  • Knife - Short range, go right up to the enemy and slash them
    • Semi-Auto Shotgun - About 7 shots per clip, usually an instant kill, most certainly at close range. Also has strong recoil.
    • Grenades - You just throw them and they blow up. Large explosion though, and its the only way you can die.
      • Pistol - Weak 2 shot weapon with medium recoil. Sucks on zombie levels
      • Fists - You don't actually punch people, you just go up to them and take their gun from them.
        • Hunting Rifle - Large scoped weapon.
        • Magnum - By far the most badass weapon on the game. Minimal recoil, one shot kill and a decent sized clip.

        (forget the list system it never works for me)

        All guns have about 3-4 clips (unless you get the fists and then pick up a gun, then you only get one clip). Sometimes, the game will randomize the clip amount though.

        Combat
        The people who try to kill the guy in the white suit will look the same as all the rest of the civilians, but they hold guns and usually run (excpet on zombie maps!). When they get close enough for a shot, a blue line will appear from them aiming at your VIP. It will get smaller and redder until they shoot, they will usually get him in one shot, so be on your toes. You can, however, step in the way of the bullet, then you will get shot. You cannot die unless you get blown up by a grenade.

        Enemies (that I have found)

        (once again forget the list system i wont even use it here)

        Rifleman - Has the hunting rifle and a really long range, hardest guys to get if you don't have a good weapon.

        Shotgunner - Has a shotgun, medium range.

        Pistolero - Very short range and has a pistol.

        Crazy Knifer - Will literally run as fast as he can in a b-line for your VIP. He has a knife so be careful.

        Discreet Knifer - Very difficult to distinguish in a crowd, he walks a little faster then normal though. He has a knife.

        Slow Zombie - Walks towards your VIP then tries to eat him. He is slow.

        Fast Zombie - Runs towards your VIP and tries to eat him. He is fast.

        All human enemies will die on the first death and not respawn. Zombies come back to life after about 5 seconds until you blow off their head.

        The terrain
        Always a city, the maps are randomly generated withe a sidewalk, large boxes that simulate buildings, and a large center road (no cars).

        Mind powers
        Yup, your guy is some sort of magical mind-bending badass.
                   Mental Fling - Fling people in a small radius. They will stay down for about 3 seconds.
                   Time Slow - Slow down town for a short period. As soon as you shoot, it ends.
                   Soul Fly - Fly outside your body. Its like being on acid and your eyes are bleeding.

      cool stuff to do or something: If you do add disarm a guy and while he is on the floor kill him with his own weapon

Add a badass moves list and I can die happy

If you do add disarm a guy and while he is on the floor kill him with his own weapon

I am reminded of Saint by Ted Dekker......

I just played it, and it's so fun. I can't get past the level that's 1:30 minutes long, knifers keep killing him.

Someone should mod this game to be multiplayer  :cookieMonster:

Have fun on the zombie level where you only get a pistol lol
But I finally beat it awhile ago and realized it was hard because it was the final level.

It's fun until you beat the first level.

things to add/fix in the op:
force push is a developer thingy, not a psychic power
all zombies are the same, there's no distinction between slow and fast, but when they see your vip they start running
only assassins walk across the street. this is a great way to pick out knife assassins from civilians

Actually, all bad guys will walk across the street. Also, if you see some people like pushing inside each other on a street corner, most of the time it's bad guys.

*Crouching makes your iron sight closer up.


yeah, bad guys=assassins
Oh I thought you meant the knife guys.

I love this game.
What is key to spawn weapons/ change weapons

press q

crouch over other weapon

click

get the weapon you were crouching over

i mean in dev mode
you can change your weapon

I just found out.
It is ctrl x

Someone should mod this game to be multiplayer  :cookieMonster:

That would be the most epic game ever.
But I don't think that's going to happen. Ever.
