Obscure, Rare, and Lost Media
#12
Hey!

I LOVE obscure media and weird things! 

One of my favourite things to do in all my hobbies (Music, art, video games) is to discover the most obscure, unconventional, insane things never thought possible. I noticed I was into that more than I guess one could say... the mainstream stuff? which there is plenty I like but, I lean more towards the WEirD far more :D


Like, for example - Did you know there is a PS1 game that has the most ''out-there'' concept for a skateboard game that has yet to be done again?

The name is Thrasher: Skate and Destroy and it was published by Rockstar Games and it's pretty crazy!

The game has:

  • Ragdoll physics. Yes! literally Ragdoll physics when you fall off the skateboard or hit something in an awkward manner
  • You can break your board and even bones! So you have to not only do tricks correctly, you can't mess up too many times, otherwise ''oops there goes my leg, I can't go as fast anymore''
  • The police can find you (as it is illegal skateboarding and sh** 😈) and, once they do, the game shifts into FIRST PERSON MODE from the perspective of the police men and gives you a small amount of time to run away to the exit of the level before they catch you. if they do, you instantly lose the game and all the points you were building up.

Like that is the shoot I'm talking about xD like woot???

Here are two videos of it! it does not show all of the crazy stuff on it but, it gives a pretty good idea of what it was going for. Pretty out there for a late 1999 PS1 game, honestly.

(WARNING! The audio is really bad! this was the only video I could find showcasing it)



Another thing that is pretty obscure is how this licensed, Winnie the Pooh game about Piglet, the most wholesome side character ever, has a game that was quite literally inspired by Resident Evil and Silent Hill and a track that sounds like this among it's whole OST... yes, this is real xD




And when it comes to lost media (which I also love!) I actually am in possession of 7 tracks from an incredible trance music producer from way back in 2009-2014 from Newgrounds that, for whatever reason, she quit making music and removed everything from her page/account.

It always boggles my mind when people do that... but thankfully, they all used to be free to download and a few years ago, I was able to recover an old hard drive containing a WHOLE bunch of stuff I thought I lost forever. One of those things were her music. Most of which were REALLY cool unfinished demos.

On Youtube, you can only find about three of her tracks and nowhere else! she has a whole bunch of other tracks that were also unfortunately lost to time. (maybe they can still be found on the WayBack machine??? i haven't tried that🤔)

I have been thinking of making Youtube videos about them, to re-release them, and just give all the credit to the original creator/composer but, no idea if I am legally allowed to so even if is ''lostwaves'' 😅

She went by the name of DJ BrixX and then later as Fierra. Here is one of the tracks you can find of her music on Youtube 

(I got the much higher quality version of this upload!)



I'll see what else I can share on this thread later! 💙
