We got this game at a dollar store as kids. When we played it, it gave us chills despite having grown up on horror movies and not being easily scared. It is quite literally Guitar Hero before Guitar Hero came out; they never got the credit they should have. The end song alone is so memed that I am surprised this hasn't been voted more. It's such a crazy odd game and the creator is so underrated and never got the attention or money he deserved. This is definitely worth preserving.

Man... This game brings back memories. Used to play it back on an ol' Performa Mac. "You Are Dead" still resonates in my brain.. Absolutely bonkers, bizarre game, with a spectacularly earworm-triggering soundtrack. A revival would be cool, but I'd settle just to be able to play it on a Modern PC.
