Game Platform Year PC projects Cause of death
Donkey Kong Country SNES 1994 DKC1Recomp (Recompile) Statement: Sixteen-bit hardware caught doing a thirty-two-bit impression with pre-rendered puppets. The disguise held for a decade. Then the meatbags bought a PlayStation.
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest SNES 1995 DKC2Recomp (Recompile) Statement: Kidnapped by crocodiles dressed as pirates, then rescued by a ponytail. The patient never recovered its dignity.
Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! SNES 1996 DKC3Recomp (Recompile) Statement: Buried by its own developer under a baby ape, a bear for hire, and enough bananas to bankrupt a produce distributor. Cause of death: fruit.
GoldenEye 007 N64 1997 Project Midas (Decomp port) Statement: Lawyers, meatbags. Nintendo, MGM and Microsoft could not agree on a licence, so its Xbox remaster was shot in development. It came back in 2023 on two consoles, and neither of them is a PC.
Perfect Dark N64 2000 Perfect Dark VR (VR) Perfect Dark PC port (Decomp port) Statement: Sealed inside a 2000 cartridge and starved of frames. The patient was ambitious and the hardware was not.
Star Wars Episode I: Racer WIN9X 1999 MrGameFixer's Racer Launcher (Mod) SW_RACER_RE (Mod) Statement: Its multiplayer spoke IPX, a language Windows stopped speaking at Vista, and it crashes at the sight of an RGB controller, a macro pad or the wrong keyboard. Its makers still sell the corpse.
Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II WIN9X 1997 OpenJKDF2 (Decomp port) Statement: The patient's heart was built for Direct3D five, meatbags, and the world kept moving. Its makers still sell the corpse. None of them kept it breathing.
Star Wars Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith WIN9X 1998 Mysteries of the Sith Remastered (Mod) Statement: Age, meatbags. Its cutscenes were rendered by its own engine, and its people have fewer polygons than I have rivets. Its makers still sell the corpse, inside Jedi Knight on GOG and on Steam.
Super Mario Bros. NES 1985 Super Mario Bros. Remastered (Source port) Statement: Played to death by every meatbag alive, then sealed in a grey 1985 cartridge and left on a shelf until the shelf became a museum.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask N64 2000 Zelda 64: Recompiled (Recompile) Statement: The patient's chronometer was fixed at three days, meatbags, then reset on a loop while a moon fell on it from a fixed, unblinking height. I have seen more mercy in a demolition charge.
