That said, I wouldn't want to enter "shameless plug" mode, honest, but I believe the most depressing Spectrum game ever is that short text adventure I created for the CSSCGC 2015, The Trunk, based on Dalton Trumbo's Johnny Got His Gun movie. What I put at the beginning explains it all: This game is bleak, painful and unpleasant - just like war itself. Don't say you weren't warned.
You take the role of a hospitalized American WWI soldier who, after having been hit by artillery fire, lost his limbs and is blind, deaf and dumb, and so heavily sedated that he suffers from religious-themed hallucinations (there is a short cutscene in the middle of the game reflecting this).
I put some touches of black humor here and there (e.g. the doctors' dialogue at the beginning), but I think the final result is altogether very sad and depressing. Again, just like war itself.
Spoiler
The game does not end, or better said, it freezes when you are finally aware that no one will put you out of your misery and you will spend the rest of your life lying in a hospital bed as a human trunk, hence the title.
Sorry Dave, could you please explain the difference? Do have patience, I am not a native speaker and such nuances could be lost on me
Okay, now when I think more, growing up in a small postindustrial town may be depressing, even if you liveDepends where you grew up in the UK during the 80s
In Brazil, 1980s was the last decade of a long military dictatorship, and the first decade of a hyperinflation so high it peaked over 4100% per year in 1990. Money at the time was loosing value so fast, the government had to replace tons of money with a new currency every few years. Now 1 real (our current currency) literally corresponds to 2,750,000,000,000 cruzeiros (our currency in early 1980s) or 2,750,000,000,000,000,000 reis (our currency until 1942).
I've been meaning to watch that film for years, as I think it featured in Metallica's 'One' video..?Alessandro wrote: ↑Thu Mar 15, 2018 8:56 amI believe the most depressing Spectrum game ever is that short text adventure I created for the CSSCGC 2015, The Trunk, based on Dalton Trumbo's Johnny Got His Gun movie.

No. (The solution is included with the game file anyway.)
