unlabelledView post →Anyone else remember the 1996 point and click adventure game Harvester? I remember stumbling across it in my youth seeking PC games and being heeby jeeb'ed out by its fever dream of a narrative and extreme levels of gore and violence. Currently browsing articles and info on it and adverts from time.

unlabelledView post →"Bear Talks Games: Harvester." Some games have their tongue firmly in their cheek. They're cute, they're playful, they wink at the audience. Others, take the piss: these games don't so much wink as point and laugh, and certainly not with you. Harvester is the latter sort of game.

A game whose whole reason for being appears to have been to be as deliberately over the top gory to grab attention by causing outrage. #1996InVideoGames #90sGames #VideoGameHistory #retrogames #Harvester #DOSgames

unlabelledView post →Anyway, shout-out to the video game HARVESTER, which is still my go-to when I want to sincerely argue video games are art and tweak the people I'm arguing with at the same time. (It's a far better and smarter meditation on violence in entertainment than the movie FUNNY GAMES, for starters).
