What are some retro games with metahumor
Does this count or what? Also Gex
>>11895121 (OP)That one only barely qualifies as a "game" at all but I guess it's true

Possibly the first game to pretend to freeze as a joke.
Gunstar super heroes has a warning screen before one of the bosses that failing will delete your save (it's a joke)
Does the Kirby's Dreamland level in Kirby's Adventure count? I'd say it qualifies as humor given how they made the whole level, including the status bar, black and white.
>>11895140Harsh, especially since every NES gamer knows the joy of playing through a game and it suddenly locking up out of nowhere because the cart was dirty.

>>11895203Canโt imagine the anger that caused
unreal tournament:
door "3a" in coret map (ctf)
>>11895224Not his fault Link sucks at finding DK coins.
The intro to the Three Stooges game where it opens up with a Ghostbusters 2 title screen, only for them to walk in and realize they're in the wrong game.

>>11895332I love that map, it was in the demo, played the hell out of it before I got the full game. I don't get the joke though, care to help out a retard?
Much of Mike Judge's performance in picrel is poking fun at his own tired tropes. Makes sense considering when it released.
>>11895224>>11895363It's more of a compliment to Link's skill because he can't platform for shit.
>>11895121 (OP)This plus all the jokes about Mario being a celeb in the Mushroom Kingdom and having to identify himself by jumping feels very meta.
>>11895398>>11895481quake "3 a"rena. It is the only place where it appears in the entire game within the official maps.
>>11895546Such snark, and yet such poor grasp of chronology.
>>11895586Yeah he did KOTH but the idea is same that he's "out of ideas on how to make BnB fresh" which is clearly BS with how much he's gone to the well with them in recent years. Maybe HE was bored of them but maybe other writers could've made BnB fresh in a way he couldn't.
>>11895430In computer versions Stooges walk into Defender of the Crown title screen instead.
>>11895121 (OP)Eric the Unready has some meta moments
>>11896373>Gets THAT drunk from wineWither you play as the biggest lightweight in the history of the world or that wine was laced with jet fuel

probably any game with source code comments
There are tons in Blood. Duke Nukem 3D has a fair few of them as well.
>game character directly talks to you and acknowledges you're playing a game
>character turns directly to you to say an iconic line
>character knocks on the glass of your monitor
i love that kind of meta wackiness so much.
fish fillets (original, not NG) has a the two main characters constantly talking directly to the player. when i was little, one of the fish once said to not turn off the computer after i'm done playing, because it gets dark and she's scared.
i didn't turn off my computer for 3 days
>>11895121 (OP)>Choose the "Impossible" difficulty on the platforming game>You die instantly and Penn razzes you by saying it's exactly what it said it wasKind of lame that most only know it for Desert Bus when all the games are essentially humorous mockeries of video games in general.
>>11895224Link was popular at the time, but still clearly eclipsed by Mario. He doesn't really become a Nintendo A-lister until Ocarina of Time.
>>11896957Not Penn, you get zapped by Lou Reed, the original rock 'n roll animal himself.

>>11896957some of the other ones were kinda weak
>you have to pretend to have a seizure to prank your parents>find someone who is gullible enough to believe in fortune telling then guess a card with this super xonvoluted systemthe chicken one and the platformer were pretty good though i admit

>>11896816>game character directly talks to you and acknowledges you're playing a gameI really like that. A lot of point and click adventure games had that.
>>11895126>>11895224The GBA port bumps Link up to 2nd Place, if that helps.
