I’m not sure if there’s a better title for this series, but basically I’ll be sharing unlicensed games that have political messaging relevant to the time the game was made. I was originally going to focus on console games but there’s exactly one old Windows game I wanted to include so whatever.

Terrifying 9.11 is a bootleg Game Boy Color game developed by Ruanxin (based out of Fuzhou, China) and released sometime 2002 (or possibly end of 2001). The game opens with a video montage of the planes hitting the twin towers while a chiptune rendition of Shir LaShalom plays. Pressing start brings up a little story crawl about 9/11 and the plan to send super soldiers into Afghanistan. Pressing start again opens a map screen and again into an exchange between Bush and Bin Laden. And then finally… Metal Slug. It’s a Metal Slug port. A surprisingly decent one!

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It’s for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

    She’s the one that everybody on the local horny transbian server is going crazy over and i just made her flustered. I think that’s a good sign, she already locked me up in the crate in her living room last time i visited her.

      Hilarious. This is me going, I wonder if the girl who let me put an enormous metal collar on her at a party likes me? (she does I found out and she’s my girlfriend)

        I mean, she has gotten a lot more touchy right after the day during the heatwave when we both had our tits out, but i do not wanna read too much into this.

        Yes i know how much i sound like the world’s most useless lesbian.

          This literally made me take my glasses off and put my hands on my eyes and go to the shape place.

          Yes i know how much i sound like the world’s most useless lesbian.

          With kindness because I am only just breaking out of my useless lesbian phase, it really does. You can just say “hey you are cute, I like you, do you want to kiss”.

            Yeeeah, i know. All i’m saying is, my friend group just kind of is like that, we gotta go and ask directly to know if all this super gay hotness is just the usual queerplatonic stuff that just happens between us when we develop a really close friendship or if it’s something else. Which i’m gonna do next time i see her. I’m already halfway there, the reason i posted this in the first place was that she posted about wanting to make out with her clone and i replied “relatable, i also wanna make out with your clone” and she took that pretty well.
