Okay, but why do they *still* call them that? lol

Why are they called “Digestives” though? Makes them sound like something taken for constipation.

I did not think getting confirmation would be that easy.

But most importantly: Was it named after the INXS song?

The author (or editor) was mistaken; the game was simply called Death Race.

Sadly, Death Race is still unavailable to play in MAME because many '70s games had logic that wasn't programmed into a ROM and thus requires extra work to bring back to life.

I do wonder if Shinkawa saw the PSM covers tho…

Charest did the MGS art for PSM, who commissioned various comic artists for their covers, so I think that’s probably just a coincidence.

I looked at that and based on the context of various materials I’m pretty sure it’s who you’re fighting against.

Tiny Toons was filled with references only the parents would recognize, probably just for the show makers to amuse themselves. I just saw Zootopia 2 last night and it had a visual homage to The Shining that none of the kids are going to get.

The only thing that would make this even better is including a nice headshot of each team member (or artistic renderings of most of the team are shy about that).

They really lovingly captured the look that the era of DS games like Hotel Dusk and Ace Attorney had (the pre-rendered backgrounds are a highlight for sure), but there's also references to The Portopia Serial Murder Case in here. They know ball.

I have to be a lot more desperate to deal with the Walmart parking lot.
