5 – An Essay,
- This one’s along the same line but instead of telling hackers to simply fuck off, they lost their composure entirely and insulted anyone who would crack Alien Breed for the Amiga, but also reveals that they used to crack.
- It starts pretty strong with ‘STOP IT =NOW=, OK! You will gain *NOTHING* from breaking this protection, but I guess you’re too fucking ignorant, narrow-minded or maybe even too stupid to understand that.
- But then they end with the argument that they’re going to end up the same as the writer and that they’ll regret all the time they spent on helping software piracy.
4 – Lonely Hearts,
- This one comes from the aforementioned Ocean Software in the game ‘Army Moves’, except it’s almost completely unrelated to video games.
- The message consists mostly of Zacker trying to ask for aged 17+ pretty blondes looking for a ‘real man’ and then complaining about the show Moonlighting.
- No really, it’s in there, I feel like it’s ironic, but this entire message is so scatterbrained that I think it might be the broken mind of someone that spent too much time coding and not enough sleeping and communicating with people.
3 – Insanity,
- I’m pretty sure the dev that wrote this message and left it in Back to the Future Part II skipped his recommended dose of lithium because it’s fucking insane.
- Here’s a direct quote ‘WIBBLE WIBBLE WIBBLE WIBBLE…. WOOGAFRUNCLEBARF!!!
- OH NO! THE LACK OF SLEEP HAS FINALLY GOT TO TONY!! CALL THE MEDICS! I THINK IT’S INFECTIOUS! (bibble)!!
- WHY IS THERE SOME BLUE ECTOPLASMDRIPPING DOWN MY MONITOR TONY?’
- Yeah, he starts it off with saying that he just did an all-nighter, but I’ve done plenty of those and never lost the plot in any way similar.
2 – Dev Hating Own Game,
- This one starts off talking about how the dev hated developing Bug Blaster and also hates the end product, but goes on to say that the front end wasn’t written by the dev.
- Then it goes off the deep end with random text smattered here and there and the line ‘Uncle SAM needs YOU’, followed shortly after by the name and telephone number of ‘Cuddly’s Massage Parlour’.
- Well I don’t know if the number and name is related, considering the lack of coherency throughout the rest of the text.
1 – Warning
- This message found in the code for the DOS game ‘Cool World’ is definitely the most insane, it doesn’t mention the game in any way and has a whole lot of literal gibberish and talking about food.
- The first line ‘DON’T EAT LOTS OF ICE-CREAM AND PRUNES AND DRINKVAST AMOUNTS OF GRAPEJUICE TO AVOID ACID INDIGESTION…’ makes enough sense, but then it’s followed by ‘WELL SOUND, SORTED, BANGING, TOP TUNE, BLEEP BLEEP, CHINESE SWEET AND SOUR’.
- The gibberish I talked about also contains the phrase ‘Satan Loves Me’ in reverse, but the rest of the random onomatopoeias have no discernible hidden messages or indeed any meaning other than phrases you might hear a crazy person shout at you at a bus stop.
