In my opinion, this is the ultimate 'fuck you'.
As a warm up exercise, check out the exploits of SunA.
Limbo of the Lost
From what I understand, title is taken from John Wallace Spencer's novel of same name, originally published in 1969.
Initially intended for Amiga and Atari ST, point-and-click was redeveloped for PC and released in March 2008.
All images taken from LOTL (together with source) and side by side comparisons (when appropriate).
 |
| Spawn |
 |
| Pirates of the Caribbean (aka Sea Dogs II) This isn't in the game, but appears in bonus disc. |
 |
| Enclave |
 |
| Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines |
 |
| The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion One of several examples... |
 |
| Weapons and armour are from The Elder Scrolls III: Morrorwind and headwear is actually a Duskdeep Helm from Diablo II. |
 |
| Bone Shield (also from Diablo II). |
Others falling foul were Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Thief: Deadly Shadows, Painkiller and World of Warcraft.
They even robbed sound samples from Serious Sam: The First Encounter (Indiana Jones whistle) and 'cheering' from Carmageddon (when race is won).
Before continuing, check this out.
Swinging guillotine vs Dark Passion Play - Nightwish
Err.
More random shit.
Fluffy writing vs Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series
What the font?
If name wasn't enough, Harry Potter fans turn away now.
Oddly, it's not a direct copy and paste job.
And the beat goes on.
Ogre vs Cave Troll - The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Less said about name the better.
Normal service is resumed.
 |
| Marybeth Louise Hutchinson - The Faculty |
 |
| Kennel Thing - The Thing |
Finally.
Beetlejuice
It took just three months for game to be withdrawn from sale.
Can't think why?
Still, batshit crazy ending song 'King of Limbo' has gone down in history.
Francesco Mattina
Italian visual artist has created promotional material for blockbusters such as Avengers: Infinity War and Spider-Man: Homecoming.
While obviously very talented, he ain't Mr. Clean.
Venom Jean Grey vs Dark Phoenix - Ian Macdonald
Flash vs Nova - Alex Garner
Batman: Death in the Family vs Mad - Zeen Chin
Music
Pushing play.
After Bach - Brad Mehldau (2018) vs Holes in the Wall - The Electric Soft Parade (2002)
Other Worlds - Taken by Trees (2 October 2012) vs Allah-Las - Allah-Las (18 September 2012)
Parklife - Blur (1994) vs Then and Now - Dub Sex (1988)
Flipping greyhounds.
Caravaggio - Giovanni Sollima (2012) vs London Calling - The Clash (1979)
Album covers. Silhouettes in disguise.
I Am the Enemy - Bleeding Diamonds single (2018) vs Futility Report - White Ward (2017)
The 20/20 Experience - Justin Timberlake (2013) vs 20/20 - Saga (2012)
Plot twist.
 |
| Insomniac - Green Day (1995) |
Eye exam device is a phoropter, aka refractor.
Film posters
Now things get even weirder.
Live by Fire - Enforcer (2015) vs Land of the Minotaur (1976) aka The Devil's Men
Catharsis - Machine Head (2018) vs Growth (2010)
Scarabus - Ian Gillan Band (1977) vs The Witch Who Came from the Sea (1976)
Hidden psychological horror gem ripped off a 1970 Frank Frazetta painting.
 |
| Woman with a Scythe |
New Fantasia and Super Model
South Korean video game developer Comad largely specialised in eroticism and cloning Kaneko's Gals Panic (which raped the gameplay of Taito's Qix).
The following makes absolutely no fucking sense, and I'd be disappointed if it did.
 |
| Body Snatchers |
 |
| Hellraiser |
More from New Fantasia.
 |
| If one Freddy Krueger wasn't enough, how about several. |
Glorious trip doesn't appear in any film, which makes imagery even more bizarre.
And one from Super Model.
 |
| Return of the Living Dead 3 |
But the prize goes to Fantasy '95.
 |
| Donald Sutherland screaming and pointing at the end of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) couldn't be more out of place. |
What possessed them?
HA HA HA!
DVD
Thirst¹ (1979) vs Against the Dark
Night of the Demons² (1988) vs Haunted Echoes
Nightlight vs Black Water Vampire
Dark Amazon vs Babysitter Wanted
The House³ vs Somebody Help Me
Someone's Knocking at the Door vs Death by Engagement
Wow, bitch really got around.
¹2009 artwork.
²2011 artwork for original (ntbcw 2009 remake of same name).
³2012 artwork. For some reason, it took five years for Baan phii sing (Thai title) to get a UK release.
Until next time.
