I don't know, I feel like a slimer would be too on-the-nose.

Pre-release footage of Zero Hour and of the Duke Nukem Game Boy Color game, may or may not be rare for all I know:

I trust we are fulfilled persons who passed all stages and don't need to find any special kind of amusement outside the ludic in a bunch of unreal and pixelat-

Why are we censoring titties that already have tassels covering the naughty bit? LOL. That voxel is done really well. Clever use of the sprite of the stripper from behind to fill in all the details.


Anyway, here's a pretty recent Grabbag. I hope this guy does a longer version, because this sounds surprisingly kick ass:

I didn't expect a proplay video about that...


And here the latest update from Chello's DN3D voxels, why not.

There's nowhere else to put this so I'd just like to self-incriminate that only now, nearly 30 years since I first played it, I only just understood why the Acme tiles kept falling in the first game.

On the contrary, this might have been the only single reference I actually did understand as a kid.

For me, I recognized the Acme reference in of itself, but did not mentally link it to why it was falling. In my brain they were two separate things in the same way a piece of floor could be gray ground or a nuclear waste barrel.

It was a block decorated with the Acme name.

This block falls.


And for 30 years that was all there was to it. Was only just yesterday where it hit me out of the blue "OH RIGHT BECAUSE ACME MAKES CRAP."

Yeah it was one of those fridge epiphanies. I suppose it just never occurred to me that those blocks weren't supposed to fall.

Alright, I'll be super honest, I never thought that ACME signs were a reference to anything (but I'm notoriously bad at picking references anyway), so would you please explain?

I looked up the Wikipedia disambiguation page for "Acme" and Acme Corporation sounds like a plausible candidate, is that it?

That's pretty much it. ACME is a company infamous for making products that serve for some good slapstick comedy.

Looney Tunes reference. Wiley Coyote was a big ACME customer

Uploaded an old mock up fan trailer for Duke Nukem as a movie. This is by Robodan from the early 2000s, probably 2002-2003 if I remember right. Robodan also had an excellent AVP trailer he cut together using the audio from the Final Fantasy Spirits Within trailer. Good stuff.
