Could a role-playing game like Final Fantasy work as an episodic series like Lost?
I first realised that Batman: Arkham City had Lost jokes in it when I overheard one of the game’s thugs complaining about how the show explained the famous TV show’s mysterious island.
Now that Tron Legacy is in theatres, let’s take a look at the many hidden references that pepper the film. The film’s screenwriters were also willing to give us hints about where to find Easter eggs. Spoilers way on!
People know I’m a fan of Lost, so they send me Lost sightings. Such as this Lost “donkey wheel” in new first-person shooter Singularity. From Raven Software, the people who put cake in a Wolverine game. Turn that island!
Lost is over. But Lost devotees can still experience the drug-addled, pop rock thrills of its fictional band Drive Shaft and the show’s in-joke act Geronimo Jackson, thanks to Rock Band and the efforts of a dedicated Harmonix employee.
In 1987, Lucasarts (well, Lucasfilm) released Maniac Mansion, a game that would revolutionise PC adventure titles with its innovative “SCUMM” menu system. This is what the world would look like if that game had been based on TV series Lost.
What if the cast of Lost didn’t stop entertaining us when the show wrapped up earlier this week? What if they went on to try their hand at video games?
