Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports).

"Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.


Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

Submission Rules

Is your post not showing up? Do not delete it. Wait 5 minutes to give AutoModerator a chance to look at it; it approves most submissions automatically. If it hasn't shown up after more than 5 minutes, simply message the moderators and ask us to let it through.

The sad part is that most of the screensavers and music visualisations for windows were unfunded projects snuck in Easter Egg style or above-board at great cost of personal political capital. MS employees have been forbidden (under pain of firing) to put in easter eggs since about 6 years ago, so new stuff like this is unlikely.

When I was a kid I just pretended I was playing it.

I came to the comments thinking for sure someone has already linked a modern version. Upon seeing nothing here I ventured out into the wilds myself.

I have come back empty handed.

There was a playable version posted a couple months ago, can't find it now though.

Notch made a game that is eerily similar to it, but in a dungeon setting, for the weekend game development marathon a couple years ago (maybe last year?).
