Le TurboDoodle: ICFTD (featuring DT)
Ha!
I wanted to post this a week or two ago, but I was so busy in real life... every time I tried to finish it up, something would happen. It has been 95% done for a long time, but, this morning, I finally had time to get it done.
TECHNICAL NOTE: This video is specifically enhanced for the Virtual Cushion (PC-Engine) accessory. Please follow all health, safety and moral precautions when using the Virtual Cushion.

Man I thought you was going to parade around with the virtual cushion there!
Dem cloudy skies look like London skies!
You know I am genuinely obsessed with the stupid Virtual Cushion. So sad.
:)
...and that stretch of polluted NJ skyline (from the video) is the reason everyone thinks my beautiful state is a radioactive dump. Because.... that stretch *really is* a post-industrial wasteland.
Thankfully, the entire state is not like that...but 99.99% of folks get their first impression of NJ based on the worst bits.
Ha!

If you are really, really patient and forgiving, you can actually appreciate many aspects of the game...but the "platforming" sequences are horrid (repetitive, poor control).
On one of the pages I linked to, I praised the seemingly minor role of the "Radio DJ" as important "glue" that improved the overall experience. I love little things like that.—it shows the effort that went into this project.
Your mileage may vary...I'm a sucker for the "radio DJ" of yesteryear.
MOAR to come! I am working on something now...it was a project I started like.... 5+ years ago? It would have been the first Le Doodle, but a series of unfortunate events ruined the video files. Water is not a friend of external harddrives. This much I know.
