Your Weekly Kusoge - Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

hg101 post Your Weekly Kusoge - Who Framed Roger Rabbit? from patreon

Your Weekly Kusoge - Orb 3D

hg101 post Your Weekly Kusoge - Orb 3D from patreon

One of the least sucky games from Hi-Tech Expressions includes 3D glasses to demonstrate the Pulfrich effect, but neglected to build a compelling game around it.
