Keeping with the link stashing and late news reporting that is the pride and joy of this very blog, here's a little something I discovered via Game Set Watch: the hallowed Let's Play Archive. A place run by the notorious Something Awful goons and mostly offering video game play-throughs and walkthroughs. Of sorts. Or, to be slightly more precise, of the demented, hilarious yet sometimes astonishingly helpful and/or interesting sort.To get an idea, start by reading the Mixed Up Mother Goose (a kids game by Sierra's Roberta Williams no less) entry, for she was really mixed up. Mixed up in something she couldn't handle. Something serious and there was only one person who could help her. No, it wasn't Link. Nor the Silent Hill chaps. It was a bloody Paladin! Go figure...

ReplyDeleteBah...
ARRR. I read this Mother Goose thing. You want my opinion? It shows best how to make the Mount Everest out of a mere molehill.
ReplyDeleteBloating up a simple trivial kids' game like this with a heck of "background story" invented around is really not my cup of tea.
The guy who conceived this must be completely mad in the head. Or I have no understanding for "art". If so I can live with it.
