11/17/2012: edit: I forgot to include this game! This game was put together with contributions by fifty children, all of whom are listed on the Gaming Co-Op's Arcade Page. This game was ridiculously hard, but worth a look, at the very least to honor the effort of a bunch of kids making a video game. And I know that's something I want to do, don't you?
(I tried, but I simply could not find a picture for this game. I suggest you click the link above and play the game. Then, if you're feeling brave, do an image search for the above title and see what you find)
This game wasn't exactly a game, per-se. It was more like a power-point presentation where the player gets to hold the clicker. I don't mean for that to denigrate this game, though. It is very expressive, and the subject is the struggles of trying to make a game, for a particular character named 'strong.'
This game was super-bizarre. Downright ridiculous even. Worth playing. The gist is that your character - a sort of vaguely anthropomorphic blob-creature, wants to live forever, so it has to collect certain items that give you youth and avoid items that age you. Youth items are like food and candy and plastic surgery. Aging items are birthday cakes. You can also pick up drugs, which make the graphics go all wacked out. This game was like a piece of modernist, dadaist, something-ist art. Definitely provoked a reaction from me. Bewilderment. And some laughs too =) Try it!
Zinestar was an unusual cabinet. I think some of the most experimental gaming experiences were had on this one. I'd like to go back and play them all, so I can give a more comparative review.
Zinestar is the first cabinet I'm reviewing where I didn't play all of the games. The next post will actually be a summary of miscellaneous games I did play. And the last will be for the Winnitron, which I am excited to talk about.
