LGR - Interpose X-mas Greetings
Added 2019-12-03 23:36:49 +0000 UTCIt's December! Which means Christmas LGR for the next few weeks, hehe.
This first topic is the holiday edition of Interpose for MS-DOS! A side-scrolling spaceship shooter made in Norway by Twilight Zone Software.
And it's actually pretty awesome, which is an overall rarity when it comes to seasonal games like this. Really wish I'd known about it back in '96, dang it.
Also, keep an eye out for clones.

I love these!

2019-12-06 03:01:09 +0000 UTCOMG, Thanks Clint, every year you give me at least one more game to add to my Christmas list :)
2019-12-05 22:15:28 +0000 UTCA Norwegian game, that's a nice surprise :) Since I'm a Norwegian. I never played this game though, but interpose sounds familiar. I really like that you don't die as soon as you crash into any walls and such.

2019-12-05 16:32:40 +0000 UTCThis is driving me insane. I don't remember ever seeing this game, either in its normal iteration or this Christmas version, yet I distinctly remember reading that exact plot with evil scientist Atnas Sualc more than once. I guess it could have been from a preview on one of those CDs with demos that came with gaming magazines back then, but then why wouldn't have I installed and played it? I loved those kinds of games. The mysteries won't end!

2019-12-04 20:00:29 +0000 UTCThe full game should be on GoG!

2019-12-04 19:59:05 +0000 UTCYaaayyy.. Christmas Clone Clint... NOW! It's Christmas. 🎄

2019-12-04 18:57:10 +0000 UTCThats a nice looking game. I'm curious what Xmas title tune used for this vid is, it sounded like a MOD of some kind.

2019-12-04 17:37:04 +0000 UTCThere's no christmas without christmas clone! :D

2019-12-04 15:43:38 +0000 UTCWow! I've never seen shareware with those kind of cutscene production values before, really impressive!

2019-12-04 15:32:30 +0000 UTCHey Clint, can you tell the Christmas clone I said "Christmaasss christmas!" (that means Merry Christmas in clone speak)
Zachary Outen
2019-12-04 14:35:18 +0000 UTCI definitely played this back in the day but completely forgot about it. As soon as I saw the gameplay, it all came back. Thanks for the jolt of memory! christmas
2019-12-04 12:48:24 +0000 UTCFunny to see how the LGR Christmas clone became like other weird season traditions. Like watching Die Hard or using a windows Christmas theme. In mid november I start to wonder what the Christmas clone is up to. The internet is a weird place... Great video btw, never even heard about this one before. Happy holidays Clint.

2019-12-04 10:18:09 +0000 UTCCHRISTMAS!... say hi to the clone from me.

2019-12-04 09:36:57 +0000 UTCI started watching your channel a couple years ago and now your clones are one of the things I look forward to every Christmas 😅🌲🎅🏾 Out of curiosity, what's the first appearance of the clones?

2019-12-04 05:41:48 +0000 UTCI'd imagine not, Twilight Zone developed strictly for the PC. They even talked some trash against the Amiga in some of the Readme files I read! The music was made with Fast Tracker 2 though, which can produce a very similar sound.
LGR
2019-12-04 04:16:22 +0000 UTCNope! Haha, it's just Christmas Clone, no name.
LGR
2019-12-04 04:14:18 +0000 UTCIs your Xmas clone named Carol? I tried to comment before, but I guess it didn't go through.

2019-12-04 03:54:16 +0000 UTCAwesome video. I'm wondering if the intro music was done on an Amiga given the separated stereo that Amigas had?

2019-12-04 03:04:14 +0000 UTCAlso, I'm going to guess that removing an item from the box takes a piece of your soul to replace it, and by the end of the month you will be trapped in the box and Christmas Clone will take your place, heavily breathing out "St. Patrick's Day"

2019-12-04 02:47:23 +0000 UTCMe neither, it deserves more coverage! I'm hoping to track down the full game and give it a playthrough, for sure.

2019-12-04 02:45:00 +0000 UTCThey definitely aren't for everyone! Although the thing with shooters is that hidden between all the mindless scrollers out there, there's always a diamond in the rough doing something different that requires a unique strategy. I wonder if you'd enjoy something like Ikaruga, where the gimmick is that you have to swap your ship's colors constantly to avoid damage from enemy fire. Or Gemini Wing, where you not only pick up enemy weapons but you have to grab ammo for them as well, constantly switching between them to manage your shots.

2019-12-04 02:44:44 +0000 UTCStill waiting for an apocalyptic, roving Christmas Clone gang

2019-12-04 02:36:58 +0000 UTCHaha. I dunno, Captain Claw is a solid contender for that title!
LGR
2019-12-04 02:35:22 +0000 UTCThis is the furriest thing you've ever reviewed and I dig it
2019-12-04 02:08:06 +0000 UTCHow strange.. You love shooters, I hate them. :-) Seriously, they are one of my least favorite game types. I think besides not finding them fun, I also find it a bit absurd that every single one I've ever seen seems to have an infinite amount of ammo that is just constantly and absurdly shooting out from all directions. As if such a ship could ever exist. I don't understand why they couldn't design these so that you actually have limited amount of ammo or at least a delay between shots so that you have to use some strategy? Anyway, I must admit that the graphics, animation, and just overall presentation of this game is really amazing. I guess the link to the demo-scene helps explain that.

2019-12-04 01:28:10 +0000 UTCA plumbbob? Maybe the Christmas Clone is an escaped Sim.

2019-12-04 00:02:37 +0000 UTCI enjoy these videos for so many reasons, not the least of which being the retro-style intro. I don't know how I hadn't heard of this game before either!

2019-12-04 00:01:17 +0000 UTCMysteries remain to be revealed.
LGR
2019-12-04 00:00:28 +0000 UTCI'm sure it'll have to evolve beyond just games at some point. But I've got plans for that eventuality :)
LGR
2019-12-04 00:00:03 +0000 UTCXmaaas!
2019-12-03 23:59:39 +0000 UTCHeh, yeah that is intended. It's the name of the antagonist: 'Santa Claus' backwards, as explained in the bit just before that at 4:21.
LGR
2019-12-03 23:56:34 +0000 UTCAwesome video. One quick thing, at 4:38 in the video a word doesn't seen right. Almost jumbled or something.
2019-12-03 23:49:54 +0000 UTCI've been spamming my refresh button since last Sunday for the LGR Christmas Clone reveal. I'm not disappointed (and what do I do with my life?)!
Frederic St-Georges
2019-12-03 23:47:03 +0000 UTCWith how somewhat niche Christmas software is, I wonder if your Christmas clone is ever gonna run out of Christmas games at one point? :P
2019-12-03 23:40:34 +0000 UTCI thought you turned into a clone last year! What the heck happened? Was this some alternate LGR dimension?
