Game Review: Salami Origami (Commodore 64)
8/10
The "Salami Origami" series has carved out a unique niche in the gaming world, focusing on the art of meat-based origami. This title, centered on the beloved Italian meat product, guides players through the delightful process of folding salami into recognisable animals and objects, with classic voiceover supplied by the late Tony Sirico.
While it leans more towards a step-by-step guide than a traditional game, "Salami Origami" maximises player enjoyment with its creative and tasty twist, asking users to recreate folds and bends using their increasingly greasy keyboard. Remarkably, it has even tempted some vegans to reintroduce meat into their lunchboxes, as they quickly rediscovered the joy of crafting a salami pigeon, proudly displaying and capturing their Kodak moment, and savouring it promptly before friends noticed the dietary shift.
The game also offers 16-color printouts for Commodore print devices, perfect for guiding your meat-moulding malaise on a city tour or whilst waiting in a lengthy voting queue. "Salami Origami" is a delightful blend of culinary art and interactive gaming that brings a playful, edible experience to your Commodore 64.
