why doesn't this actually exist? I was looking for 3DO emulators to play this and it turns out it was never completed. Who would lose interest or pull the plug on a Dolemite firefighter game? This is a cruel world.
Oh god there's more - Steve Albini & David Yow as pilots, fucking Dolemite as a video-game champion fireman, ALIENS?, the Boredoms... the world is a worse place with this not existing.
Thank God this wasn't made-if it did, the universe would explode from all the awesomeness. Timothy Leary, Dolemite, Tony Hawk, and Boredoms all together? I can feel my head about to explode just thinking about th
I'm probably asking for something that nobody owns, but does any person out there own the soundtrack that was rumored to be released with this game? It was produced by the Boredoms and contained two tracks: (1) Epic Epileptic Apopalypse (w/ David Yow), and (2) B for Boredoms.
How did this happen? This kind of game isn't 'developed' or 'designed'. It can't be. I don't see how someone could set out to make something this batshit insane. Someone must have been making an 'Iron Angel of the Apocalypse' sequel or something, spilled Mountain Dew on the keyboard, and this came on the screen. This game is an accident, and it's the coolest fucking accident EVER.
This is the coolest thing I have ever seen. How I haven't heard of it until now is a mystery and proof of NHGH's influence. I now want to live long enough to see it made. "Bob" help me, but after that, I can die happy!
Agreed. Even more fun working with Rudy Ray Moore. There is a great story from this shoot about Dolemite making dice clocks. *sigh* The good old days...
you pick a side (two firefightin' teams) you compete in dances to figure out who gets to go fight the fires. drive to the fire, get your squirt on, get the girl, save the world.
From what I've read the plot for this game was that you were a Fireman whose job is to entertain the occupants of the Sears Tower after Air Force 1 and a Space Shuttle simultaneously crash into it. Basically there is no hope of rescuing them, so you are merely preoccupying them until they all burn to death.
This is one of the holy grails of unreleased games and I'd love to see if someone publishes a prototype of this.
Did anyone catch the Japanese flag on the shuttle, despite it saying United States? But, I can't blame them, mainly cause they were on some sort of drug when making this video.
holy shit! I'm TRIPPIN! I HAVE THIS ON 7 INCH RECORD!! I bought it cause I was a Jesus Lizard AND Boredoms fan, and when I saw the record I was like fuck yeah it's mine! I couldn't believe it It's clear red vinyl if I remember right. I'll have to dig it out. The song on there is called Epic Epileptic something... wow, had no idea about this film!
I met Runandgun, the company that was trying to make this into a 3DO game, at the CES in 1996. I still have a bunch of the promotional materials they handed out (stickers etc). As far as FMV based games, it would have made for one of the most interesting ones on the 3DO game system. I was actually hoping the idea would get seen to fruition but it never happened.
"The President and her husband on board"??? Sounds like Hillary Clinton is going to be president... everything else prophesied in this video has already come true, such as the attacks of 9/11.
I remember wringing my hands waiting for this game to appear, I still have the friggin' issue of 'Video Games'from October 1994 that pimped it. OH! I wanted it so badly. Yeah, post 9/11 it takes on an even weirder light. CUMON! One of Youse Developerz must be able to cobble up a version!
Looking at it again more than a decade on, it seems even more delightfully insane. I was just telling a friend that this was the "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" of Chicago productions . Virtually every working performer in Chicago shot scenes for this. Many of these people were mainstays of the Old Chicago Improv. Notably, Paul Goebel, Graham Elwood, Jim Kopsian and the Ectomorph guys and many others. Those were great times in Chicago!
You'd think that something containing Steve Albini, Mark Mothersbaugh and Boredoms at the same time would rock. But this was just one big "WTF" moment. But then again, is it really surprising that Albini, Mark and Boredoms would be in something as random as this?
Also, the director Grady Sain (according to IMDb) worked on an episode of Tom Goes To The Mayor, which isn't totally surprising either.
I was an extra in the dance scenes shot in a South Loop loft in the early '90s. First time I have ever seen this. I was told this was supposed to be a CD-Rom game for 3DO (a now defunct platform) where two teams of firemen roam around to different parties raking inpoints by entertaining the doomed with musical performances, ending with a huge blue-grass showdown on the steps of the Board of Trade. The winner being signed to a Japanese record company and air-lifted to safety.
Seriously, they should just try to put the footage together into feature-length (or short film if there isn't enough) and start hitting the midnight/cult circuit, maybe double-bill it with Forbidden Zone or something.
FYI, this was actually video footage for an early 90s FMV videogame for the 3DO that never materialized. It was never ment to be a stand alone film, LOL!!
