I’ve been playing Funny DOS Game Bio Menace because it was free on GOG and while the game itself is pretty fun I think my favorite thing about it is how its premise and presentation are dramatically elevated to something magnificent by its enemy designs
Because, like, on one level the plot and presentation are pretty grim. There’s corpses and skeletons strewn all throughout the first few levels and the opening plot states that Thousands Are Dead.
But then you actually see the monsters that caused this catastrophe and they’re just
THOUSANDS DEAD IN SMUG BLOB OUTBREAK
