This game ruled. There’s no way that such a fractured, insane mess of a design should ever have worked, but somehow it did. Also, genuinely funny.

Absolutely! What a wonderful game.

As a pubescent teenager at the time, the main thing I remember is the pre-hot-coffee controversy.

We deleted a file that deleted the top, didn’t we?

(For the sake of the art ofc)

Sounds about right to me.

OI, IT’S TOO HIGH UP TO REACH gestures to mesa

That game is so good I’d play it more if it wasn’t hampers by extremely annoying controls. Especially the last phase, so frustrating!

It’s like three different games in one!

This game was so bonkers, they don’t make them like this anymore. Though, they didn’t really make them like that then either.

Yeah this game is absolutely one of a kind. Nothing else like it. Really funny too, with great voice acting and a wacky story!

I remember getting a demo of this game on a CD in a computer magazine. I thought it was super weird and the controls were impossible to figure out.

I owned this but could never play it because my hardware was too weak. :(

I wonder if the CD is still at my mom’s house somewhere…

Maalus@lemmy.world on 14 Oct 19:06 collapse

After 20 years, the CD is probably unusable. It is on GoG and Steam for like 5 bucks though

InverseParallax@lemmy.world on 14 Oct 16:12 next collapse

I genuinely skipped it because the name was complete gibberish and signified nothing.

So many trash games around then, not worth risking you precious teenager money on something that wasn’t a sure thing.

I remember loving everything about this game except the name and the controls; truly baffling decisions there, haha.

TIMMY

If there was ever a game that needs a remaster, it’s Citizen Kabuto. I need another playthrough. It has a great polish dubbing

ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 14 Oct 20:31 next collapse

Jeez, if that’s Kabuto I’d hate to see Kabutops!

That’s some awesome 2000s coverart! I want to give it a try now, I love shooters.

Edit: Shiny Entertainment guys made this? Now I definitely want to play it!
