It is a cool evening dusk in 2001. You find this game in one of the demo disks. A great night is awaiting.

Demos were cool and that (ThatNukemGuy and Sean Swanson do brilliant recap vids), but...

...what I really looked forward to were the Net Yaroze games that were published on the discs. Most of them were decent; some of them were utter shit; but some of them were absolute bangers.

That, and putting the discs in the CD player gave you a blind taste of some 90s techno choons - the drop in the Lifeforce Tenka track is top quality.

My favorite was adventure game. I still love Italian Concerto because of this game lol.

Amazing. Somehow they managed to make it look almost as good as a full price title at the time!

Adventure game is the game I most think about when I think about Net Yaroze. It’s so (intentionally) bad it’s good.
