Healing Fun House

i would kill for a lonely mystery game set in Sensorium City floating in a big black void, neverhood-style. But here and there are signs of life........ !?

Clearly, this concerns more than one story and is in some way under construction while also being full of spoilers! Like some sort of D&D-DM's-manual-for-maniacs or something. Approach with caution if knowing everything isn't your deal. What the hell, approach with caution anyway. Trot on your tiptoes or roll your heels. Enjoy avian culinary delights! You cannot do any of these things in this game.

intriguingly baroque design document, I definitely want a heaping dose of the mysterious Vitamin [DEATH]

didn't think there would be a way to make the '82 thing any cooler...........!!!!!!!
 
i love that design doc, need more titanic sheets of development txt file. "Alien Toothpaste" turns out to be "Alien Grits".
 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5QthG2Uhak Amiga games remain the ultimate expression of big chunky colorful GAMEHOOD imo. You can immediately tell when a game is on the amiga and almost all of them have at least traces of this disgusting hyperreality where they could do smooth color gradients but not good taste. and things will be goin' so groovy rainbow happy grasslands, yeah we got some guitar samples and gated drums!!! yeahhh buddy we're let's-a-going now and then suddenly NES BLACK BACKGROUND. DON'T FORGET. Somebody's said similar to this in this thread before -- and then I think i brought that fact up already once again in a different pro-amiga context?!! i donut know....... -- that There is nothing on the planet that sounds like modscene/amiga music.  the bitrate and sampling styles and really fast blblbllbllbllbbb arpeggios immediately tell you A EUROPEAN GUY MADE THIS IN A BEDROOM, but you can hear all the 90s techno and prog rock they listened to getting sucked into protracker and mangled. My ideal game aesthetic is basically Amiga puke + arcade game sensibility of NEED CONSTANT REWARD 1,000,000 POINTS! TEN BILLION BONUSES POP OUTTA DEAD EXPLODED ENEMY ANT. My name comes from the title of a music file for the amiga game Gods, which i haven't played, but i like the song and thought it would be adequately meaningless and evocative of vadrio gamg/message board ephemera. BOARD 44 START! YOU FOUND SECRET BONUS ROOM.
 
now while i've been yammering about the Amiga, that video itself is from the Atari ST version. They're similar enough in the aspects i wanted to highlight + The yt compression on this clip and its music really, really enhances the disgustingness of the game. it comes across as less unpleasant in other gameplay videos i could find so i used this one. ragnar might like to pause on that intro screen of axel smashing bricks and contemplate just how fucking horrible it is.
 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJRfOXTQn_Q This person has butchered Axel's Magic Hammer and used its graphical guts to stitch together their own hellworld. I'm breathtaken with how it smoothly slides between coherent levels and liminal tilesheet looking bits, and how the enemies.... entities?? don't make any distinction between where they decide to hover. the camera panning over endlessly copied grid of one skull dungeon room. christ.
 

Laser Lords for the CD-i provides us with a fantastic frog.
 
thank zarquon for autosave 'cause i almost fucked myself out of this whole post!

Cheerrrrrrrrrrrrz
It'll get organized now that I've shown it to people.
 
Axel's Magic Hammer has all the auditory/tactile feedback you would expect from a pinball machine. Love how the sampling's rich enough to suggest physical objects but gives away its bleepy blarpy pedigree at the same time. STRANGE DICHOTOMIES FROM BEYOND THE STARS. 
 
The [Death] in Vitamin-[Death] is actually a skull. A white skull upon black. Was it a premonition? Either way, you feel like your "stats" have increased and you are no longer in danger of becoming a "geezer". Fortuitous!
 
This's my fav recently discovered Amiga game:

I can't get enough of bad westerns. I wrote an AI just to generate bad western plots and dialogue. I've been thinking of doing something gameish with it but honestly, I'm just happy to have made a robot full of such idiocy that it constantly makes me giggle.

EGGS OF STEEL CHARLIE'S EGGCELLENT ADVENTURE
 
i owned a copy of this when I was 12 and thought it was horrifying, a combination of early ps1 era jumping mechanics, pre rendered levels, poorly transcoded sound effects, dancing eggs instilled in me a lifelong fear of anthropomorphic eggs!!!!

WARNING! This video contains HELLA HORROR-GORE!!!!! If a child were to watch this, it would become possessed by a demon.
(Movie is PLAGA ZOMBIE. Other is.... ??????????????)
i bought an alto saxophone  and i practice with it every day in the rainy  sunsetwoods. what game music contains saxophones/would sound good on strident honk horn. its like wringing a goose to death to make noise.
