Okay, I just learned Super Mario 64 / Nintendo Nightmare is actually a tremendously long and complex game. Some other guy has a twitch playthrough of it, broken into four parts, and it's like three hours long and weird as all hell.

Skip around to random points in those four videos and experience a strange sense of awe at the overwhelming amount of time and effort the creator put into this whole thing.

This is a game based on the same series as the SCP poopy bloody baby game. It doesn't have any poopy blood babies but it does have an unnecessary amount of stairs.

You can watch an interview with the developer here.

It was made by a 16 year old kid in 2007, over the course of two years.

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
It's actually kind of impressive, in the same way that that Family Guy Warhammer comic that's like 500 pages long is impressive. I mean, I've never devoted that much time or energy into anything in my life, but the fact that they spent thousands of hours of their life on what amounts to a pile of garbage is kind of admirable :shobon:

Oh so he had a problem with the graphics? Oh well that explains everything!
Did a real live person even write that, or did some dude's cat roll across his keyboard a few times? I refuse to believe an actual person wrote that.

It's an .exe that throws up a splash screen for a game...

"This guy is some fatcat internet insider, he have connections in the industry and he get all this games for free. Unsubscribing!"

Actually I think his angle, if you can call it an angle, is that Lowtax doesn't own or play any games that he didn't get for free. I guess that's what he's implying, it's a little hard to tell.

It's terrible and absolutely no fun to play, but drat a lot of time and dedication was put into making it. Like I said, I gotta give the dude credit for effort, but still it's a painful game to play.

It had a surprising amount of blood for a Mario game.

Look, we ALL know that when Mario jumps on a Goomba, he's really splattering its innards all over the place. We all know that that Goomba's got a wife and kids he's just trying to support, and Mario's joyous murder has set them all on a life of destitution. This game's just keeping it real, alright? It's not treating us like little baby children playing a game made to appeal to their sheltered little minds.

Also, Mario has three penises. FACT.

vvv Dedication is not correlated to competence.

Jesus Christ, the more I look at that 'Super Mario' game the more I'm convinced that it's some kind of abstract 'high art' thing. It's got just enough 'surreal' and 'unsettling' elements that those modern types love so much to make me wonder. There's no way someone could've unironically spent that much time and effort on something so incredibly piss poor for so long without ever thinking once that this could stand to be a little bit better... right?

I don't know, it's probably just some dumb kid with too much time on his hands but I've seen way crazier stuff done in the name of 'art' so it wouldn't surprise me at all.

I briefly considered that, but discounted it because the core mechanics are so unbearably terrible (camera, movement, sound, everything).

Yeah, the fact that it's unplayable in nearly every form really shoves a nail in that theory but I've seen people theorize that making something intentionally bad in all forms leaves a more intense 'mark' on the 'audience' and immerses them in the surreality. Does that make it any more likely? Not really!

Contentwise, Psy Hazard is pretty loving bad. It's like Resident Evil if Resident Evil was programmed by even worse chimps. I could barely last a minute. The PAIN 'meter' is what finally did it for me. Makes Trespasser's boob heart look like a stroke of genius.

I'm not sure if I'm in the minority, but I like when Lowtax plays games with original material. Dontrel the Dolphin would not have been as amazing if it were a Mario sprite.

That Mario 64 game is exactly like something I'd make in Klik n Play when I was 12-years old.

Speaking of Klik n Play, are we ever gonna see Lowtax cover Klik n Play classics like Bubba in the Turd Dimension or The Legend of Smelda: Macarena of Time? Can't let Game Maker and Unity abominations hog all the spotlight.
