Wait, what?
In a Playboy profile of notorious con-merchant Dennis Montgomery, there has been mention of a company called eTripped Technologies that was said to have been working on a videogame adaptation of the Patrick Swayze movie Roadhouse.
ETreppid Technologies was a four-year-old firm trying to find its way. Some of its employees had been hired to design video games. One game under construction was Roadhouse, based on the 1989 movie in which Patrick Swayze plays a bouncer in a dive bar. Other programmers worked on streaming video for security cameras.
I’ve heard of some interesting videogame adaptations, but that’s a new one on me. Still, the game has plenty of punching and henchmen, so I suppose it wouldn’t have taken much effort to make a cheap Streets of Rage clone and stick Patrick Swayze’s head on one of the characters.
Would you have played a Roadhouse game, or are you still holding out for that The Bodyguard 2D fighter?
