Basically, this is a thread where you can ask your fellow tropers to find shit for you.

Need to remember the name of that obscure 90's platformer? No prob, just give us a description and we'll see what we can do.

We locate the following and more

  • Games
  • Movies
  • Shows
  • Books
  • Art Pieces
  • Comics
  • Other Stuff
  • Secret Lairs

SO COME ON DOOOOOWN!

For the record, I'm not doing this solo. I will need some help.

I'm now imagining Spain Sun—or rather, my mental image of Spain, who doesn't actually look like him—in a "detective" outfit.

Oh right, the topic. I'll help if I can, since I always enjoy the challenge of digging something up. Can't guarantee anything, though.

The Mysterious Island of Missed was a weird spoof of Myst, made entirely in HTML because this was 1996 and Flash wasn't really popular then. It taught you important lessons about how to run an interesting website and attract viewers. I played it a lot as a kid, but now it seems to have disappeared.

So far I've found references to a spoof called "The Mysterious World of Missed" (off by just one word), but all the links are broken.

Now to find a mirror...

YES IT IS. I could have sworn it was Island, not World.

I'm surprised just how many Myst parodies there are out there. There's also Pyst and Mylk...

Nah. The missed thing was what I had been wanting for forever, so I'm content.
