I found out about this game today. It's a game where you control a "Sexy, female nanobot" going through a body and fighting cancer, and was apparently developed as an instructional tool for teenagers with cancer about how their treatment would work.
Seems fun
I think some cancer kid helped develop that. I remember it talked about on X-Play and i found a copy at a thrift store. I would like to imagine it was the cancer boy who decided it should be a curvy slut as the MC.
>>12050005Deus Ex for the zx spectrumhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqSqRq0jKvgthe flip side of the tape used audio and you played it as part of the game""Deus Ex" on the ZX Spectrum likely refers to Deus Ex Machina, a 1984 video game by Mel Croucher that was a unique, art-focused "audio trip" requiring players to synchronize the game with a separate audio cassette for narration and soundtrack. The game presented a bizarre, surreal journey through the human life cycle, from a "telepathic fetus" to controlling a machine, with gameplay involving mini-games and biological element manipulation, and featured actors like John Pertwee.

promotional game for a line of long-dead fashion dolls aimed at men. basically GI Joe-themed Barbies
>>12050959wow this looks like shit
>>12051792it isI had a modicum amount of fun just for the novelty anyway and it got me interested in the dolls
>>12050959>fashion dolls aimed at menThey really thought they could compete with fucking anime figurines, did they?
>>12053035*they really thought they could make money on anime figurines, didn't theyFTFY, that shit wasn't a money maker in the US back then either
>>12053084>Imports versus not imports
>>12053096Yeah, I'm sure that was their idea.>"This stuff sells pretty well in Japan, but nobody but a handful of hopeless weebs buy them here">"Maybe that's because import costs make them expensive. We should make these things here and cut the importing step">"Great idea! Surely there will be a market then, just like in Japan!"And there was no market.
>>12053035it's from 2001, that stuff didn't exist back then, especially not in the west.
>>12053225>Ebay didn't exist>Anime cons didn't exist>That random shop that casually had some otaku shit mixed in with some tech decks and whatever didn't exist
>>12053441correct, you're paying attention. 99.999999% of people were not aware of the existence anime figures in Y2K, and the CyGirls line was aimed at a different sort of market anyway (they were female action figures, all the girls were SpecOps soldiers). It was before 'nerd' was synonymous with 'anime fanboy'; back then a significant percentage of nerds openly and explicitly HATED Japanese stuff. This was back when most western nerds were hardcore comic book fanboys, and the biggest fandom war was Star Wars vs Star Trek. The era of D&D and computer RTS. Anime was for "little kids".
>>12053519From the look of the dolls here it comes across more like G.I. Joe for girls, I think they might have tried to appeal to the wrong market hereThen again I'm no commercial specialist
>>12053526they were supposed to bridge the gap between GI Joe and Barbie, and were an attempt to cash in on the 'female action star' fad of the era. They performed decently well for what they were. Girls definitely would not have ever bought them. they were replaced by the ZC Girls line, which are still being made.

>>12053579Just like the guys who buy dolls
>>12054148>fampai unaware there was a culture of men who collect Barbies
