One of the first well-known game mods, though some had been made in the 80s and even earlier, this was made by Michael Adcock with custom graphics and sounds. It also included a short story, some demo animations, a setup program, and an ASCII art exit screen. This program was created at the height of the Anti-Barney the Dinosaur online craze, when the popularity of the children’s television program “Barney and Friends”, known for simplistic singing and “Barney the Purple Dinosaur” merchandise permeating many stores. The distribution disk this material comes from included anti-Barney writing from Usenet newsgroups, including fiction and “analysis” materials parodying or ranting against Barney. Samples of Beavis and Butthead (replacing the nazi soldiers), as well as Barney the Dinosaur (replacing Hitler), permeate this game, as well as remixed graphics of the walls and enemies. |
