Fire Game With Me: Twin Peaks reimagined as an Atari 2600 adventure
-------------------------------------------------------------------
David Lynch's 1990 television series Twin Peaks stands as one of the
greatest - and certainly the most bizarre - major network TV show
ever. Now, and ingenious fan has recreated the show in the style of an
Atari 2600 game. So, descend back into the madness of The Black Lodge,
in a slightly more pixelated form than you remember. The game, Black
Lodge, was a labor of love for creator Jak Locke. Here's a description
from the game's manual:
QUOTE
A day in the FBI was never like this before! You are Special Agent
Dale Cooper and you've found yourself trapped inside of the Black
Lodge, a surreal and dangerous place between worlds.
Try as you might, you can't seem to find anything but the same room
and hallway no matter which way you turn. Worse yet, your doppelganger
is in hot pursuit! You have no choice but to keep running through the
room and hallway (or is it more than one?) and above all else, don't
let your doppelganger touch you! Your extensive physical training in
the FBI will provide you a seemingly limitless supply of energy to run
as long as necessary, but running out of breath is the least of your
worries!
You'll find quickly that you?re not alone in the Black Lodge, though
your friends are few and far between. Not only that, the lodge itself
seems to be actively trying to trip you up at all times! You'll be
dodging chairs and crazed Lodge residents all while trying to keep
your own insanity. How long can this go on?
No time to think of that now - here comes that doppelganger again.
Just keep on running through the curtains or it will surely be
curtains for you!
Who killed Laura Palmer? Maybe you can finally crack the case.
Download the game for free (it's available on both PC and Mac) and
