Mushroom Men

Okay... I was going to wait until I finished the Matango posts before I moved on to these, but I guess there's nothing wrong about running them simultaneously. So... here's just a sneak peek at what has to be the Citizen Kane of Mushroom games. This game's been out for awhile but no jumping onto YouTube and searching for lots of cool clips! I'll roll 'em out here for your enjoyment.



You'll notice a bunch of Fly Amanitas wreaking havoc. Fly Amanitas, of course, are one of the most commonly recognizable mushrooms in pop culture. They've appeared in lots of kids' books and 70's poster art. Here, it appears, they finally fight back for the negative portrayal we've heaped on them for years. Oh sure, being poisonous is bad enough... but shooting lasers? Good stuff.
