This is one of those things that deserves being spread around like fungus, or perhaps an especially virulent STD.
What if someone suggested we took all our favorite protagonists from classic 80’s-era Sierra games and made them square off, Mortal Kombat-style? You’d probably have them committed.
Let’s be grateful, then, that this has yet to happen to the lads over at Jolly Roger Epic Productions (but probably will soon), because they went ahead and did just that.
The game features 12 playable characters, including Roger Wilco (yay!), King Graham (boo!), Sonny Bonds (who?), the wizard Mannanan from KQ3 (no fair!), and, as if they didn’t have enough copyright infringement on their hands to contend with, fuckin’ Donald Duck from Donald Duck’s Playground.
Let me repeat this, so it sinks in: In this game, you can have King Graham, noble and just ruler of the Kingdom of Daventry, beat the fuck out of Donald Duck.
How fucking awesome is this?!
I don’t care if this controls like ass — I haven’t had the chance to actually play it yet; I was just so excited to see Jess share this on Twitter that I had to spread the word.
Download the game for free over at sciprogramming.com and take Donald Duck out for a round of ass-kicking yourself!
