/vr/ - Retro Games

Not particularly creepy but flat out bizarre and I pondered its existance for a while. In Lethal Weapon on the Amiga, right at the start where you select your mission there's a file cabinet by a noticeboard by Mission 1's doof you can jump on, and from that get on top of the noticeboard. You can then enter an invisible door up there to gain access to pic related. What the heck is it doing there? It moves back and forth and can kill you, but the extra lives are a help.

Later I got hold of the game Parasol Stars, which had a decent Amiga port. In the secret world you can gain access to in the water planet (which takes 2 players to collect all the vegetables at the end of one of the stages spelling out IN) there's.....the fucking same enemy. More befuddlement, til the Internet came along, and the Amiga site Hall of Light lists the same graphic artist responsible for Lethal Weapon having ported the Parasol Stars graphics from the PC Engine.
