Spawn: The Eternal on PS1 seems doubtful anyone else here would have played that.

I’m pretty sure I’m the only person here who’s played Bomb Buds** which I also designed, “wrote” and did a lot of the concept art for. Within a week of its release it was vaporware. See, the game started out as a pretty simple Worms-type with asynchronous PvP and a neat little weapon purchasing/upgrade system. Then, about 60% of the way through development, the publisher decided that there needed to be about a dozen more characters (with the unique stats and unique ability for each bud as was already established), a single-player campaign mode of about 20 (handmade) levels per bud type, and a totally new F2P economy with all the microtransactions, predatory grinding and daily jackpots that go with that. It sucked and the team busted its ass to get it done for iOS. In the final months, they also stipulated that we needed to have an Android version very soon after that release (that I think was cross-platform compatible? it’s been a while). Being a small (somewhat disorganised) studio we had one programmer with sporadic availability to pull that off. He didn’t pull that off. The iOS version was reviewed pretty well while the Android version was buggy as heck and got a lot of negative feedback. After being available for one week, the publishers decided to kill it and because the game had to be connected to a server to run, even the team couldn’t play it anymore. About a year and a half of work for nothing. It was a fun game! Still makes me sad. Our programmer (not the one in charge of the Android port) talks about making a standalone version every now and then but I think we’re still too down on the whole thing to do anything with it ever again.
** Yes, Bomb Buds is a weed reference and yes, there is an item called the Plug (Bud Plug was too on the nose and I had faith in the right people making the right connection).
(I don’t remember who made the trailer, it’s not a great trailer)

Did you play that PS2 one?
The Dreamcast Spawn game actually rules.

I completely forgot there was a PS2 game! I might have to find a way to play it or at least find a good let’s play or something.
Saw the arcade version that the DC version was based on once I think in an arcade at the Luxor Hotel and Casino in Fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. It looked cool but there was no one else there playing it.
Wait I have a good one for the thread: the 1999 GameBoy Color Spawn. I even have the cartridge. Don’t think I’ve ever played past the first stage. It’s a competent GBC brawler but it didn’t light me on fire or anything.
I once mentioned having an idea for a sick ass Spawn game on here like two years ago and @BLUE_BLACK_PURPLE wanted to hear it and I said I’d write something up but then never did. I did start a document outlining it that’s still on my desktop so I need to finish that and post it and then actually make it and take it to Todd McFarlane and impress him so much he hooks me up with a publisherkeep my dang word sometime.

There was a book I bought in the late 80s/early 90s that came with a floppy disk full of shareware Mac games. There was a game on the disk called “Crackman” or something that was basically 3D pac man except you were eating bags of drugs and syringes and joints and whatnot. I think you could also jump. When you ate the last “dot”, a soundclip played that said “pimpin’ ain’t easy, but it sure is fun!”
I really feel like I’m the only person in the world who ever played this. Nobody seems to remember it.

Have any of you played Chocks Away? It was an early polygonal flight combat game about piloting a red biplane. I played it with my cousin sometime in the 90s. He had to hack one of the missions to start in midair because there were invisible objects on the runway.

I have been posting my progress in Whirlitzer of Wisdom (Lotus Jukebox) in a blog you can easily find by searching for “Whirlitzer of Wisdom”. I am currently describing the final sections of the game (which I have not solved yet!) Is there treasure in the Real World yet to be discovered?

That second stage boss battle with Billy Kincaid throwing ice cream cones out of the back of his moving ice cream truck while Spawn purses him on a motorcycle is so inappropriately wacky. I screamed and screamed and screamed.

I think I’m the only person here who has played Wanted: Weapons of Fate, which is kinda generic but has a few interesting things about it (the bullet-bending nonsense is actually the least interesting thing)

I bet you have, but here’s maybe the most obscure game I’ve played.
Anyone else play this wacko game?
