Re: New games
The whole article is at http://www.disinfo.com/archive/pages/ar ... d2037/pg4/
Eat or be Eaten was at the end released as CD+G, a title that took me quite some years to get. I made screen captures and only a few were posted on this Forum, but I posted all the captures at the Photo section of the Firesign Theatre Yahoo group.
"In 1985 The Firesign Theatre was approached by Philips to write two demonstration games for their new CD Interactive machines. Eat Or Be Eaten, was recorded as a 99 track demo and the accompanying graphics made but the actual finished project was never published commercially. Danger In Dreamland, a Nick Danger Hollywood studio back-lot murder mystery game, was written but not recorded. Eat Or Be Eaten (1985) was salvaged and released as the first CD with subcode graphics, and the game paths strung together to form a story with some commercial parodies, on Mercury Records. The commercials were excised and put out for radio airplay in both a 7" and 12" version called Bites From Eat Or Be Eaten. The theme was further developed into a highly successful 30 minute Cinemax special, also called Eat Or Be Eaten (1985), that too, has been released on video (1986). The remaining Firesigners also provided voices for some of Mattel's Intellivison games, including Bomb Squad and B52 Bomber."

What makes a game a game?
This is a topic I constantly struggle with for certain titles which makes me go along with what Philips used in the various catalogue entries and is what i'm using to reform the Games Archive. So it could be bye bye Asterix!!

i don't know what to think of it.... is it something promotional? There's nothing to find about it on the net. Keep looking, I need to see it!
Devin, maybe it's an idea to divert the children games from the other games. You shouldn't exclude titles like Asterix, Surf City, Haunted House and the likes from the archive!

Unfortunately no-one can verify this information, or show some visual material of it.....
In the meantime, blurb has added another two:
Quizmania - Giunti Multimedia
Super Test - Giunti Multimedia
Appearing to be Italian releases. With all these 'trivia titles' the game library could be expanded indeed, but i don't really see this as an actual game. However.....
Let us know if you have it...
