Conspiracies - A 'Final Justice' For Videogames?

Thanks to Video-fenky for its loving review of allegedly awful PC FMV graphic adventure Conspiracies, a game that some have compared to classic MST3K film Final Justice for its ability to "plumb the depths of lameness" in an intrigue-filled Mediterranean setting. Apparently, "Conspiracies is the story of Nick Delios, a balding Greek guy in a hoodie who has a living cactus with a face named 'Nionios' and solves crime... it's the year 206X, a world of flying cars and poor dubbing, and Nick... must solve... an alien plot to take over the World Government with android body doubles of top political leaders, starting with Greece first." The official Conspiracies site has more info on this soon-to-be-cult title, paradoxically well-received by JustAdventure, which includes gorgeously random puzzles such as "smuggling a crate full of plastic explosives from outer space so you can stick it inside a bra." Video-fenky happily concludes: "Overall, Conspiracies is a game no PC adventurer should be without, even if it's for all the wrong reasons."

I know of a game that involves a pod race through my arm pit hair, it sucks. But I think everyone that is a gamer should try it out, just to see how bad it really does blow.

soon-to-be-cult, eh?

soon-to-be cult title

Really had to reach to find a compliment, didn't you?

Seriously, it took me 2 minutes to figure out what this headline was even talking about, and then I felt so let down by the complete pointlessness of what I was able to decipher that I'm actually thinking about getting back to work.

Thanks.

What this game really needs

[foidulus]

is a Joe Don Baker mod. Imagine, saving the government of Greece from aliens with a fat, sweaty cowboy/"bad boy".
Goosio will obviously have to make a cameo of course!

The hero's catchphrase will of course be, "You think you can take me? Go'head on."

And they can save CPU cycles by repeating the same FMV death scene.

And jelly-filled donut powerups.

And whenever a friendly NPC receives newly developed pictures of his wife and child, well, save your game, you son of a [...]!
