11. 1994 - Ten Years After





I predict that by the year 1994 t-shirts and hair will be illegal and we will be ruled by a cyber falcon who records our thoughts with tape recorders up to five or six hundred times bigger and more powerful than the ones we have today.



10. Skateboard Joust




I have a backwards cap, sunglasses and ripped jeans. I also ride an enormous yellow skateboard with DEATH written on it. Beat me up.

Cool video(with shite sound) of Peter Molyneux fom the 2005 GDC.





Not sure if Narbacular Drop had been released at this point but it's interesting to note the similarities between Valve's Portal and this demo...and also to see how far Molyneux's priorities have shifted since then...from dicking with the players perception of reality to trying to engage the player on some emotional level. I for one am glad - Oi Pete, you can keep yer oranges, I wanna play with my dog.
