Is the ISCO Famicom game Paris-Dakar Rally Special! kusoge or a clever subversion of expectations? Yes.

Man I had no idea that NASCAR drivers had to play real life Fire between races. I'm so in

[@mackerelphones]

It's probably more dangerous than driving cars really fast

13:10 - makes me think of the anime movie Redline. Pretty wild stuff
Anyways, I never would have expected this to be a proto-Frog Fractions. Thanks for highlighting this!

[@KOTEBANAROT]

i am now very concerned about the sport event i never knew about before. also, this game is crazy but also bordering on "this is the most video game. this is what old people mean when they talk about how stupid video games are. there are giant crows bombarding you with eggs in this paris dakar rally game"

[@mackerelphones]

Well those old people got their ideas somewhere

[@JustDandyGuy]

Great video!
Just wondering if your next Kill the Past video is still in production?

[@mackerelphones]

Yes, it is. No ETA right now, but I plan to get back to it after the current big video I'm working on
