The first game I ever tested was 'Mort the Chicken', in which dozens of cute lil chicks are kidnapped from the farm by a race of extradimensional cubes.
Just before the portal to the other dimension closes, Mort bravely dives in to save the chicks - he must then rescue them all one by one from a variety of strange environments. It's a game best suited to 8-year olds, but it's wacky and odd and fun in its way.
I was thinking about Mort this morning, musing that I hadn't seen him in about 6 years, and that I really should own the first game I ever tested. I just ordered it from Amazon.
For our E3 booth that year, we had a giant Mort made out of fiberglass. After E3, he lived in the conference room - he was like 8 feet tall, 200 pounds, and was topheavy. He fell on several people, and it was funny. Oh Mort, you wacky chicken.

I believe in the Big Book Of All Things Funny, "Giant Fiberglass Chicken" is on like the first page.
ReplyDeleteKato's right, you know...it's the entry right before "People walking into things, then pretending nothing happened" and after "When cats make a mistake and fall over and stuff."
ReplyDeleteMan, people walking into things, that's never not going to be funny.
