Amanda Bower of Gamer Professionals writes: "Developed by The Neverhood, Inc., Skullmonkeys is a sequel to The Neverhood, released in 1996. Designed as a point-and-click adventure game for the PC, The Neverhood introduced our little Claymation character, Klaymen, where he first confronted his everlasting foe, Klogg. Fast forwarding a couple of years brings us to 1998 where the quirky Klaymen steps foot into another chaotic world overrun by the not-so-bright Skullmonkeys."
Moshe Sweet recalls his memories of Blockbusters, some bad games and one great one: Skullmonkeys.
Armikrog, the new game by the creators of Earthworm Jim and The Neverhood, is shaping up to be a familiar but much improved weirdo claymation adventure.
Part 2 of the Double Plus Good Games interview with the creators of the Neverhood, Earthworm Jim, Skullmonkeys and now the new Kickstarter project, Armikrog. "Armikrog isn’t just a new video game. It’s a re-visitation of an era that welcomed new, interesting, and often oddball ideas. It’s the herald of things to come, but also a hearkening back to things that were, and things that could have been."
Absolutely agree! After talking with Pencil Test I couldn't believe how many memories came screaming back. We'll have the audio podcast going up this week where they talked about the Cool Spot arcade machine (which I didn't even know existed) as well as the Neverhood air hockey game from Japan.
This is why we love interviewing these 90's developers so much as they are able to bring so much context, and so many connections, to video game history.
That one made me almost as happy as the Bonus Room song from Skullmonkeys
