Press F for Fake (a thread of fake games)

@Karnovski This reminded me of the arcade in Scott Campbell's alternate dvd cover art for King of Kong. Some good fake game names there.

@Dunkr I just pulled my DVD of this out. I always admire this art.

@Karnovski I once tried turning one of the cabinets into a Warioware DIY game

@Dunkr what an awesome idea!

I've always wondered what Skulls and what Laser Town would play like.

@Karnovski “Mel Gibson - The Game” is funny, because there actually was a Maverick pinball

Burgerboss - Bob's Burgers

The Bob's Burgers people even made a fake NES cart to promote it

@hellomrkearns I wondered if that was from something or they completely made it up.

My friend isn’t convinced Soul Hackers 2 isn’t fake:

Recently I’ve been making some promo videos for Yo Gabba Gabba and I’d forgotten they had these fun interstitial clips of kids in video games. Makes me think of stuff like Photo Dojo where you can put your face in the game. This would be a cool feature to add to a classic arcade collection I think.

GTA 6

not sure why I never posted this!? it’s one of the first ones I tend to think of.

I love playing K.O.B.S. (Kill or Be Slaughtered)

Yesterday we were talking with my girlfriend about how the Elephant FPS looks like what could be a 2010s indie darling.


There's also that videogame from Black Mirror which asked “What if :flushed_face::flushed_face: we kissed :kiss_mark: in Street Fighter? :see_no_evil_monkey:

Ghostwire Tokyo go 'em hot Super Fiction classics.

@KennyL ahhhhhh I forgot I took screens of this too! It became useless once Twitter removed the ability to post from your ps5
