Advanced Action Movie Simulator (2001)
Advanced Action Movie Simulator is a tongue-in-cheek parody of 1980s movie-licence games by Cadaver of Covert Bitops, made single-handedly (code, graphics and music) for the C64 Crap Game Compo 2001. You are a true action hero, and four short scenes stand between you and saving the world: a car chase, a gunfight, a romance scene and a final hand-to-hand showdown with the Bad Guy. Each scene has its own simple joystick controls, and the romance scene, where you score by confessing traumas and listening, is the funniest part. It is short, silly and deliberately crude, which is exactly the point. Released by its author under the MIT license (cadaver.github.io).
