"Your bones shatter as you strike the cold stone floor . . . " As I recall, my most common mode of death in that game was more along the lines of: "Your body is intercepted, inches from the floor, by a forest of spikes. They bear your corpse aloft, a grisly warning for all who may pass this way." | |
Just rewind your suici... Oh wait, you're in a new game, pwn3d. I love this little comic strips, small and not that much text to bore me! | |
I don't know why, but the "pixel face" remark just cracked me up. | |
lol this was a great comic, they should make more of these. Keep the dialogue short though, I hate reading super long comics. :P "I'M A PIXEL FACE!!!" That was hilarious! | |
Adventure! That Shamus is why you are the king! I can't tell you how many hours I spent in that game killing dragons...er...touching squiggly duck lookin guys with an arrow. That was big fun in 1978....We're both really old. | |
Clever... very clever. I like the nostalgia though I question how many other viewers there are old enough to have experienced the wonder that was/is Adventure? | |
I was wondering the same thing. Given the small number of responses, my guess is "not many". Dang kids! | |
Us dang kids have been lectured by enough crotchety old fogies to get the joke - even though it inevitably lacks the immediacy of a Half-Life gag, for instance. | |
Adventure...the first game that had an easter egg, amirite? | |
According to Wikipedia, yes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_Adventure Man, the hours I lost on that game. | |
There was an Easter Egg in Adventure?!? MAAAAANNNN! Never did like the randomised adventures. I have now learned something I never knew before... | |
It was only random if you had it on the 3 setting, (according to Wikipedia. I sadly never owned this game. But I still have my Atari!) | |
Holy god, I feel terrible for remembering both games and having completed neither. I still have my 2600 downstairs, too. Hilarious comic, by the way. :) | |
It was not an Easter Egg! It was a duck egg! Long live the classics! | |
I remember playing the hell out of Adventure. I think plenty of other people played it too, they're just not the same people that would be on The Escapist web site :P | |

Stolen Pixels #35: Total Rewind 2
The poor Prince of Persia rewound time too much and ended up as a pixel face. Things couldn't possibly get any worse, right?
