Always compelling and absolutely bonkers, EXXOS's Captain Blood from 1988, Commodore Amiga version. The game where a mummified video game creator and captain of an organic starship chases down clones of himself and talks to aliens through emoticons. French sci-fi surrealism at its finest.

Also had an equally strange sequel in the 90s called Commander Blood which was mostly a lot of bizarre CGI spectacle. Also a lot of the aliens were played by puppets. There was a third game too ("Big Bug Bang") but it's only available in French.

When I was a child, I used to launch this game just for the starting screen. A mesmering experience, no game bits it to this day. I had no clue what I was supposed to do, I just spent my time basting planets for the pretty colors.

One of my all-time favorite games ❤️
I played it again a few years ago and finished it for the first time!
Here's my longplay/walkthrough if you ever need help getting through the game: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMQr...

My dad had this on the Atari ST and I never figured it out. I just got weak and died a lot.

This is awesome. There were so many crazy games like this in the 80's! Remember wish stone?

A prog-rock concept album in the guise of a 16-bit computer game, that one. Utterly high-concept and at times bafflingly abstract in a way games haven’t been for decades.
