Panic! (Sega CD) screenshot collection

[moon_hotel]

I've been thinking a lot about Panic!/ (Switch! JP) for the Sega CD lately. It's not a game I replay very often, but I really like it! A lot of people tend to criticize the game for being "barely a game," mostly because it consists of hitting different buttons that cause different one-off jokes to happen. Some of the buttons send you to different rooms in the game, so in that sense, it's a little bit like a gag-filled Choose Your Own Adventure, which absolutely qualifies as a game by my standards.

Anyway, some of the gags work and some don't, but I think there's a lot of value in the art as well as the writing. The last time I played through Panic! I took a bunch of screenshots of some of my favorite parts, so here they are! (Hosted at my LJ scrapbook.)

there's always LSD!

but yeah, not near enough games that fall under the "things happen" catagory, though now that im thinking about it that really describes the early cyan games like The Manhole and Spelunx.

HAMBONES WILDLY!!!! HOW COULD I FORGET ABOUT LSD WHEN I'M IN IT!!!



I should probably make an entire post about LSD because I have a bunch of screenshots from it O_O

hahahah that's fantastic :D I once had the opportunity to show off LSD for a crowd at a "late night at the museum" event. We tried to have someone to a live play of it and the audience's bewilderment was the best part
