The Residents' Bad Day on the Midway

Phonzotar I'm not techie enough to get my original CD running on my current laptop, so i'd buy it here if it were possible... bought it because i loved the Residents back then and i still love their older stuff... Bad day on the midway is a gem, i still wait for another game that let's you learn about the character you're playing by using realistic thought fragments instead of well formulated sentences - like hitchhiking the subconscious... would love to know how it feels like from today's perspective :)
Z0ie4 I concur! Bad Day on the Midway needs to be re-released asap. You rarely see games with so much originality and imagination as BDOTM. Yeah, it's interface was buggy, but I can live with that, in fact that adds charm to the game.
cams3107 Bad Day on the Midway is one of the best examples of interactive storytelling of it's time. And is sadly being forgotten because of the lack of a rerealese.
I know, NightDive claims the source code is forever gone. But if doesn't ever happen, let this page be proof how much of an impact it caused on those who played it. And how much curiosity it generated on those who weren't as lucky.
ThudCliveaume That'd be really nice. The game seems really interesting.
nyth1983 Hey lets all go hound Randy and the gang and get them to contact GoG about this!. Its a bloody outrage their game isn't included here
Tom-Erik_L_e gimme !
Odourman We need this!
lunadude I still have the CD, but my 'modern' computor won't play it.
SleepingVillage Obscure gems like these is what makes GOG great. If anything deserves to be on here, this game does.
FlamingFirewire NightDive actually tried to release this at one point, but had to shelve the idea after it was discovered that the source code was no longer available :( - hope this and other games like it can see a new day through enterprising reverse-engineers.
raffle please :)
treponem Come on, this is the fucking Residents's game!!!!
Apekiller I support this, really hope they add it.
Chonchko I like the Residents, and would really like to check out this game. Got some really great reviews. Get it on GOG!
Sprocket A demented experience from the eyeball-headed wonders!
IAmSinistar I have this on CDROM and would love to see it on GOG. Licensing issues may prevent that, however. Still, hope granted and vote given.
SnowballKiller I watched a playthrough of the game and I would love to play it myself, but paying 40$ (+shipping) for a version with with the Novel and a non-compatible game is just to much for 2 hours stroy. I think this game has to be on gog for 10$! Or maybe for 15$ with the Have A Bad Day OST!
damagemanual I too would love to see this make it on to GOG. Classic from the early CD-Rom times.
cornbredx I really miss CD rom experiences like this one. Much like Dear Esther, it's not really a game but a interactive story, and a crazy one, but man what I'd give to be able to play it again. I don't know that that's actually feasible (it would look awful) but one can dream.
Jot the Gowk I remember reading a review of this in some magazine back in the mid-'90s, and being fascinated by it. Years later, I'm a huge Residents fan, and am very disappointed to have missed out on this. This would appeal to fans of strange, experimental adventure games and avant-garde music.hardcoregaming101.net/badday/badday-regular.htmresidents.com/historical4/bdm/
