idbeholdME 436 Posted July 30, 2023 When you hover over the sticks on the machines, they quote/refer to something. Here is a picture of all 6. Does anybody know all the references? What I could gather: 1 - Obviously Mario. 2 - Most likely Duke Nukem 3D? One of his idle voice lines is "What're you waiting for, Christmas?" 3 - Apparently from a 1984 game called Impossible Mission. 4 - No idea. Probably some racing game? Could see an announcer saying that when someone overtakes you. But too generic to find on the internet. 5 - Apparently an album from Prodigy, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was used in some game. But no idea which. 6 - Apparently from a game called Jet Set Willy, also from 1984. "We Must Perform a Quirkafleeg" is name of one of the levels. Seeing as most of these are references to games, does anybody have any game ideas about number 4 and 5? 1

I dont know the two that you are lookng for .. but just had to post...this topic is too irresitable... I guessed the first one, Mario... and I absolutely recognized Impossible Misson's opening line...another visitor... stay a while, staaaaaaaaay forever! My cousin actually had that game for the commodore sixty four...and we couldn't stop playing that line non stop...and the sounds of the runner he made as he ran.. awe inspiring at its time and still powerful to this day.. i think its the reverb that got me hooked and his delicate animations Thanks for the serious nostalgia hit here... ... just perfect.
