Tim over at the Indygamer blog brought this to my attention today. This guy is my new hero. I would love to have a go at this assault course event... not that I would get anywhere at all - but it looks like great fun (well - the first event does anyway!).
Makoto Nagano is a 34 year old fisherman. Recently he succeeded in completing the last phase of the Japanese game show: Ninja Warrior. Of more than 500 contestants only one other man completed it before he did
The second event looks like something out of the Prince of Persia games, and the fourth is just crazy. Just watch it and see for yourself...
Rocket Boards is a super fast 3D rocket boarding action. My first "commercial" (shareware) product. Didn't do amazingly well but was a good learning experience
Bubble Bomb is a polished update of a game originally built by Warren Marshal (who works at Epic games - developers of Unreal and Gears of War)
My own update of Bubble Bomb, Bubble Blitz was almost a total rewrite adding loads of new features and a shiny new look.
Seths Puzzle Boxes is a puzzle game with a surprisingly enjoyable story line, unfortunately it's quite short so won't take long to complete, but while it lasts is great fun.

That is seriously ... well Japanese in concept, but just generally impressive. Thats one strong fisherman, I wonder what he fishes for: leviathan?
Yeah - it's very cool - it puts the old tv series, Gladiators, to shame really.
