Ask Lemmy

I remember playing a game with my friend as a kid. I think it was around windows 95. You were a Mafioso and you could pick one of three businesses, one was a blow up doll factory. You had to plan heists by buying escape vehicles, such as tandem bikes, cars anong other things. I found it funny that only 2 people could escape in a transporter, because it had only 2 seats. The main goal i think was to steal from the comically large vault of the main mafia boss via submarine. My memory is very hazy, don't remember the name or anything else, but it was super fun.

Edit: Just to sell it a little harder, this album has phenomenal songwriting. It's got a laid-back LA-surf-rock sound with elements of punk and maybe a hint of wistful country in the lyrics.

The What! Help is On The Way

This album and band is endangered, no CD's, unavailable on any music streaming service.

The only online version I could find is this a random YouTube upload.

One of my favorite bands ever. They were introduced to me by a friend's sister in, like 1999. Their band ended quickly after the death of one of the members.

The only other link related to them now appears to be a remaining band member's channel, which hasn't been updated in 11 years.

There was a game from my childhood for the Dreamcast called E.G.G. (Elemental Gimmick Gear). I've never heard anyone else talk about it, but I remember it being super cool

Space Siege, it was basically Dungeon Siege but futuristic. I only ever played it from an old PC gamer demo disc.

This is a kids song that's catchy. 90k views. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-uPsYA35qfQ

Necroville (2007) A hilarious B monster movie. Think Clerks meets Ghostbusters.

winnebago man. Not as obscure after they made the movie, but the found film of that era has a few other hits if you go down the rabbit hole

Tank Girl! It's a movie I have loved for so long. Makes me cry with laughter. Got my wife and son to watch it and was promptly banned from picking movies for family viewing for like 4 months. That did not take away my love for the film.

Spent countless hundreds of hours playing Icicle Works on my Commodore +4 when I was a kid and I've never met anyone who's even heard of it, or remembers the +4 over the 64

When I was a kid, I remember seeing a trailer on TV for a Captain America movie. The tone of the trailer was dark and gritty, it looked like it was a drama and you don't find out it's even a Captain America movie until they reveal him at the very end.

I don't remember how we had it but when I was growing up, we had a pc game called Adventures with Chickens. I might have to track down a copy and play it again because I'm confused as to why MobyGames says the game has "shoot 'em up elements" when I'm pretty sure it doesn't.

The film Hey, Stop Stabbing Me! is reminiscent of early Parker & Stone or Troma, and the title basically says it all. In spite of its non-existent budget and inexperienced cast, I recall it being competently paced and downright hilarious (on purpose!), including multiple memorable quotes such as "don't be making fun of my hoe-saw," "dude, she's twelve," "comparative literature," and naturally, the titular "hey, stop stabbing me!"

There used to be a website with a rubber man floating on the screen. You could move him around with the mouse and make him stretch out in psychedelic colors. Hours spent doodling.

Eternal lands.

Stars! is a turn based galactic trade/strategy game my friends and I used to play via email in high school.

Immercenary for 3DO. Such a strange game.
