About this episode
The episode discusses the game Xenophage: Alien Bloodsport, highlighting its technical aspects and visual horror, along with a commentary on 90s culture regarding children's mascots.
The catalog of DOS games is full of visually impressive experiments that aren’t very fun to play. That’s where we find Xenophage: Alien Bloodsport, a game that is somehow technically adept but also horrifying to look at. It’s also maybe the worst fighting game we’ve ever played. Plus, it includes a playable Barney the Dinosaur, so we talk about the weird wave of wanting to kill childrens’ mascots in the 90s.
