I have been looking for this game for YEARS finally remembered what it was called?!?! i loved this thing. all i want is a game played through menu interfaces, all the time

old game looking screen that says MORDORS - the depths of dejenol, shows create a character/load/character list. images show low quality fantasy art (reaper, dwarf, dragon, demon)

a screenshot of an app with about 8 menus, showing lots of diff text related to characters, wizards guild, welcome to the bank, welcome t the city seer, welcome to the morgue, etc. it's very classic windows 98

I wasn't familiar with Bushido Blade, so I looked it up noticed a character that looked like Gambit from X-Men and went *wait, is this a Kingdom Hearts situation??* googled it and was subjected to what I'm assuming is pure insanity:

screenshot showing a google search for Bushido Blade Gambit and google's AI Overview showing the following:

The Bushido Blade gambit refers to a crucial, unwritten sequence in Bushido Blade (PS1) that unlocks the game's secret ending. To perform the gambit and fight all secret bosses—including the dojo master and the gunslinger Katze—you must adhere strictly to the game's Code of Honor and run away from your first encounter. How to Execute the GambitTo trigger the alternate ending and access the secret bosses, follow this step-by-step path:Follow the Bushido Code: Do not commit dishonorable acts. Never attack an opponent from behind, strike them while they are bowing

a screenshot of a matte black and white game showing a church in a forest location, with UI around it. left buttons say pick up investigate/forage/call out.

the text box in the center says
You’ve never seen a place like this before. It feels... strange. Valleys rise on
each side of you, cinching you in. The water flows backwards here.

There’s a dead fish here, swarming with maggots.
<WIT ~ SUCCESS> You see tracks in the sandy soil nearby.

there are compass buttons to press

generally i don't like to prescript how people should live but in this case, i'll make an exception

a pretty, simple illustration of australian native birds and plants (including a lorikeet and a kookaburra) acting as a sort of frame around a black-text-on-white box in the middle that says

You dont need more things. You need trees, bird calls in the morning, fresh air, thriving plants and real connection.

loading up SimHealth, the zero-humor 1994 simulation of the U.S. Healthcare system produced in collaboration with the Markle Foundation and released during Congressional debates on the Clinton health care plan yeah, a lil depressing to look at 32 years later. but a fascinating historical snapshot

a screenshot of a pixel art game interface showing a city and the text:

FROM ACCIDENT TO PURPOSE
As a carpool passenger, you relax and daydream your way to work. Then reality——in the form of a truck——smacks into you. You're not seriously hurt, but go to the hospital Just in case. You spend hours in a waiting room. You fill out a thousand forms. You finally see a doctor. You're poked, prodded and rushed through the system. They take blood. run tests, and send you away. You feel mistreated and out of control.

Time goes by. Your bruises heal. You put the whole experience behind you. Then the bill shows up. What did they do? Who said they could do that? Shouldn't insurance cover this?

Enough is enough. You decide to run for public office on the platform of health care reform.

me trying to express how i felt reading this:

an image of edgar allan poe (white man with a big forehead, black gurled hair and a moustache) and the quote:

“When, indeed, men speak of Beauty, they mean, precisely, not a quality, as is supposed, but an effect - they refer, in short, just to that intense and pure elevation of soul - not of intellect, or of heart.”
