Dr. Petter's 116 Unfinished Games of Delight and Madness

DrPetter, the brilliant mind behind sfxr, was inspired by the awesome Unfinished Game Demo/Dump thread on TIGForums and decided to contribute a mosaic of 116 of his own unfinished creations.

The games listed span from 1995 to 2008, which I guess corresponds to half my life (born 1982).

You can see the full image here (3 mb) – wow, is that ever fun to look at! DrPetter has also written short descriptions for each of the games (some of which can be played at his website)!

Definitely check out the rest of the dumps, too. You might not think it, but it’s quite inspiring (and entertaining) to see people’s unfinished work. I’m considering contributing some games to it myself!

DrPetter: please unfinish a cave story rip-off too, just for the sake of completeness.=)

Ok thx for the reply Dr. Petter, i wanted to host a zip containing all your unfinished work, coz i am too lazy to write you an e-mail or register on forum i used this comments place.

Btw when i posted my comment, i didn’t visit your website, so when i visited it i realised that not all the unfinished-games are there.. so…

nvm.. i simply can’t host it, beacouse they are not all available for download :D Ciao.

FireSword: Host what in a zip? My screenshots and descriptions? All projects posted on the “unfinished” forum thread? Mine can be used for whatever, but obviously you’d have to ask in the forum about the others.

(Yay, I’m a brilliant mind now! That totally goes on my CV)

Sweden - the avant-garde of indie gaming. :-D

It seems that not only Cactus is so prolific although he manages to finish most of his projects, I believe.

I’m in awe. Where does a single individual get the time to start (and abandon) so many game projects?

Wow - some very cool looking ideas there! What about using the images to created a kind of visual version of the video game name generator?

I think he should layer some of the games over each other a la Rom Check Fail and make one finished game out of them.

There are at least a project or ten-twenty that I would love to see finished one day!
