LET’S START A NEW MEME: #BACKGAMES FROM FINISH TO START
Mr_Staypuft sends in this post riffing on of the current #backflicks meme of describing a film from the end to the beginning, hoping to start a games version at #backgames.
The cream of ‘puft’s current crop:
Doom:
A space marine brings demons to life, locking colour-coded doors behind him before falling asleep, as his colleagues close a portal to hell.Katamari Damacy:
A prince must hide the stars, by rolling them across the earth’s surface, until they break into small everyday objects.Deus Ex:
JC Denton overthrows one of 3 new world orders, travels the globe, then waits for terrorists to rebuild the statue of liberty.Pacman:
Pacman fills mazes with dots, pausing only to regurgitate fruit & ghosts.
He adds that he’s not quite sure where the meme started, but I’m fairly confident it grew out of this self-linking weekend Reddit thread entitled, “If you watch the movie ‘Jaws’ backwards, it’s a movie about a shark that keeps throwing up people until they have to open a beach.”
