The Residents- Bad Day on the Midway

[Lunarcheese72]

this game spooked me out as a kid D:

[proft123]

:51 origin of ima chargin my laser face?

[VideyoJunkei]

The video here looks SO much better than the game does.....They should re-issue the game on DVD so it can look better!!

[floggingmolly265]

So they actually released games? How did it work, I mean what was the game play?

Also what album is this on, I want to buy it.

[vaultboyrr]

i wish i could find this game. i love the residents

[retrovertigoes]

If you google for a torrent of it you should find a few still available.

[vaultboyrr]

@retrovertigoes i mean a physical copy of the game

[retrovertigoes]

ah...

[OlDoinyo]

Occasionally, you can score a copy in places like ebay, or other online sources, if you want a physical CD. It takes patience and luck to locate.

[escher10000]

@vaultboyrr I found a copy on Ebay a while back.

[vaultboyrr]

@escher10000 D: lucky

this game used to scare me when i was younger! but i used to play this, freak show, and gingerbread man all the time on my computer :]

Thankfully I found my disc, and it's an awesome game. Here's how to run it on Vista:

1: Install it, obviously

2: Right Click it and go down to 'Properties'

3: Click the 'Compatibility tab up at the top

4: And then down at Settings click on 'Run in 256 colors'

5: Then Right click the game again and hit 'Run as Administrator'

and then you are good to go.

@KoolBand I was wondering if these same instructions will work for Windows 7. I can't get my Residents games to go on it.

[VideyoJunkei]

I have this game! This video is a MUCH higher quality CGI of the 'Set' and the models used in the game! is the game on DVD now? I'd love a copy!!

[pazzensutra]

I was disappointed that Jim Ludke didn't get to finish the "Midway" full length video project that he was working on when he died. Ted is my favorite character. What a freak. "Ugliness will come to me.....ugliness will come to me........"

[pazzensutra]

I hate video games (Just like the great Jim Ludke did also) but I love the Rez computer games. They were wonderful. I still play them. "Midway" was fantastic. RIP Jim Ludke. And Eric, if you're out there....Hello from Dolan Damien.

[Jcolinsol]

Videogames are the most expansive artistic medium human beings have developed so far.

[trsdos]

is there somewhere I can pick up a copy of this game or download at least?

[kalshazzak]

Actually I got it to run. Whoo hoo!

[kalshazzak]

Blah I need to find out how to run this game on Xp or Vista.

[SmokeYourGuitar]

I got it ! :D

[ali0tis]

post the bird coll. clip 4 me pretty peas!

[Katj4]

Thanks for the upload, I loved this! SO out of this world!

[Biopharmer]

The soundtrack is amazing, i think every fan should own it. And every household in America should have this game in their multimedia software library.

[IKFKSwitch]

Wow. This takes me back. What a great game that was... and so creeeeeeepy.

[Makozug]

what game was it?

[Seleteles]

"Bad Day on the Midway." An obscure "anti-game" by the Residents. Quite old, and probably hard to find, though.

[Gmancrap]

My friend has a copy his dad bought. I wouldn't call it an "anti game" more of an experimental game like The path.

[mikalb41]

He died recently (Jim Ludtke). A genius.

I was and am still fascinated by both Freak Show and Bad Day.

Hard to believe they are over a decade old.

Scared me too!

[KoolBand]

dammit i just foound out how to play it on vista and now i can't find the disc

[toztizok]

check 8:45, the face in the bulb, its a resident

[Ultrasecond]

The Residents should make a surreal adventure series like this and distribute it similar to how the new sam and max series is. They're amazing storytellers and crafters of haunting characters. The recent "river of crime" is one of their alltime best works and stories.

[ali0tis]

"So many ugly people!" LOL

This is the best game ever despite all the game systems that have since been established.

[eatboy17]

I admit to my self that Game was one of the Scaryest things i had eva Played

[Biopharmer]

I love this game, If someone has the CD, do this (pc):

Turn on hidden files, and there should be a folder on the cd that appears. That folder has every movie clip in the game. Not the storys or anything, but the movie clips of exchanged dialogue throughout the game.

Could someone string those together, and upload them to youtube? If no one does, I will eventually

[KoolBand]

please do lol

[WeenisLad]

This game completely gave me the willies...I SO regret selling it years back >:o. Thank you so much for posting this.

[tedcantu]

LONG LIVE JIM LUDTKE !!!

[kenrubes]

the animator/programmer? This is a pretty unbelievable bit of work, here.

[emowonderland66]

can some one please explain to me the residents and there purpose basic knowledge about them please

[jbj221]

Their purpose is art, and the started in about 1969 and have been making music since then, they are avant grade, they experiment in weird things and everything related to the object "weird"..... and that explains exactly nothing does it?

[emowonderland66]

thanx

[roquelazarus]

[cornjob]

[mikalb41]

Played the game --scared me. Thanks for posting!

[mikalb41]

Excellent! This computer game scared me-it was so weird. It all started with The Freak Show and progressed to this. Multiple endings. How progressive. Thanks.

[luudnoma]
