Show newer

Beast Games and the Squid Game reality show competition made me think about how another TV show was suddenly made into a reality competition about 20 years ago:

"Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale..."

@wildweasel nah, it was something made initially for classic B&W Macintosh computers, something from the early-to-mid '90s.

It was Glider and a networked multiplayer space shooter/sim of some kind that I played a bunch of in school, through a network of Macintosh Classics

Sadly I don't remember the other game's name and it's eluded me for a long time, does anyone know what it was (:boost_ok:​)

Thought a bit about the old Macintosh game Glider 4.0.

That little ditty that plays at each level transition has been stuck in my head for a long time youtube.com/watch?v=GBsmCE3WB1

Honestly I need to find more shooters (boomer or not) that just lean into that tongue-firmly-planted-in-cheek feel that ROTT does

That sense of absurdity is comforting

Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition is good

I always find it funny how there was a dance song that samples the theme to The Price is Right and was a modest dance club hit in the 2000s:

Every once in a while I watch a game show with just the most *fascinating* car in it

Look at this! A VW Beetle trying to be like a Rolls-Royce or something

with a nap

okay it's been over an hour of trying to use an image/video to celebrate so screw it
