The multimedia games feature I posted a few weeks back included a megaton of media I took for the write-up. I had a lot of trouble trying to decide which stuff to post with the feature and which ones should go to the waste side. Well, I decided to post some of the rejects here in this blog entry, plus repost cleaner images of some screenshots that actually made it into the feature. See all of it after the link jump.
For Microshaft Winblows 98, I wanted to include the PC box art as I thought it was pretty cool how it mimicked the actual Windows 98 box, but adding it would have cluttered up that game’s write-up. I also scanned the back of the box, too. It may have been a terrible game, but it did have a cool box.
The Winblows 98 section also included a video that showcased a parody of Microsoft Office Suite with MS Office Suite Crime Edition. I recorded a second video of another parody product. This one does a spoof of Microsoft Word called MS Word-Up.
The part for Riven included an animated gif of a number of screenshots of the game because I thought the graphics were so good looking, I couldn’t just limit it to two or three images. So I cheated and crammed a bunch of images into an animated gif. The problem: the images were compressed. So, to do justice for those images, here they are in their non-compressed state.
Speaking of Riven, I originally planned on including a few more games, but it would have been too much for one article, so I trimmed it to a slimmer list of six games. But early on, I had the idea of pairing related games to each other and include an animated banner for each pair. The first would have been the banner for Myst and Riven. This is the only banner I created for this. A lot of time was wasted on this so here it is for all to see. The fruits of my labor.
And now, last but not least, here are the scans for the Pyst PC box.
