I know you Lost fanatics out there would pick this baby up in a heartbeat. The bigger question is, what are the selling features of a Lost NES game? My ideas below, but please, I could use some help from all you Losties. Oh and uh, **spoilurz** be up ahead, so you know, be weary:
- Shadow Level: Play in complete darkness and try to find what literally lies in the shadow of the statue
- Bonus side-quest: Play as Bram and find Miles a fish taco.
- Play as Locke for infinite lives
- Play as the Smoke Monster for Kirby-like abilities of assuming other characters' identities
- Play as Sayid to unlock the mini-game Shoot the Ben
I'm at work so that's all I've got for now people. ¡Ayúdame!
Ideas...
* OCD mode: have to interrupt whatever you're doing in the game to press the button every 108 minutes. (Switch that to every 108 seconds mode for better gameplay.)
* Time travel as random contribution to your game play. All of a sudden, ZAP and you're in a different level with a different plot.
* Reward: ability to move the donkey wheel. Bonus points if you can get down there without breaking your leg into a horrendous compound fracture.
* Play as Kate and win points by whining and wearing artfully disheveled and discolored tank tops.
* Play as Sayid and turn the whole thing into a first person shooter / torture fantasy game.
* Play as the pilot of Flight 815 and try to keep it in the air. AKA "pointless mode."
* Play as Hurley and find the food.
More as they come to me...

I love the idea of a "Pointless Mode". They should have that in all games.

Oh God. I need that!
Walk to Shadow of Statue.
Use Rubber Chicken With a Pully on Shadow Of Statue.

It's nice that hacks like you don't give credit where it's due.

Hi idiot! Thanks for commenting on my blog. As you'll notice, I credited the source that I found this first, which was my friend Sharpless, via another blog. This is the proper etiquette of the web. I'd like to also note that while Kotaku's post was from today, May 27 2010, you'll notice that my post was created almost a year ago on June 25, 2009. It does not take an Internet Detective to point this out.
So, it's nice that brainwashed hacks like you think Kotaku is always the first to know. Get a life, ass hat.

I will take any opportunity I get to call out an idiotic troll commenter on my blog as an 'ass hat'. Especially if he's linking me to a Kotaku post that's up almost a full year after mine. How rude!
Posted by: .tiff | May 27, 2010 at 11:43 AM

Why is Nick Denton trolling your blog?
Posted by: tr1g | May 27, 2010 at 11:53 AM
Ass hat is a totally underused pejorative. Also acceptable - ass clown.

I might've gone with "shitwit," but I like your style.
Posted by: Broseph | May 27, 2010 at 12:00 PM
Oh Broseph! "Shitwit" is great! I'll save that for the next ass hat to come along.
Posted by: .tiff | May 27, 2010 at 12:04 PM
It's obvious you turned the donkey wheel and traveled back in time and posted this after you read the Kotaku piece on this. Everyone is always using time travel to scoop Kotaku's stories and make it seem like they just scour other news sites and repost what they find. You think you can fool the mindless drones? 1011.1001.100.100.1001.1110.100

Aw snap. Tiff is e-victorious.

Ass hat is definitely a quality insult. My next favorite is "neck face."

Did you know they made an actual Lost video game for 360/PS3/PC? It...it's pretty much the worst game ever made. They should have made this instead.
