Underground 2 and Lemmings in the browser, and a Daft Punk double bill
Max Glenister
Between Monday 2 and Sunday 8 November I shared a pile of browser-based games, a Deus Ex deep dive and some Daft Punk, all of which landed over on social.omgmog.net. Here’s the roundup.
A Katamari Damacy-style game where everything you roll up is a real object from the Met’s Open Access collection, at its catalogued size. Starting as an 8 cm ball and ending at the Temple of Dendur is a lovely idea.
A Lemmings-style walker playground that runs in the browser. Let’s go!
Drive a toy tank through any real city with other players and knock over blocky buildings. It’s built on actual Google Maps data, which makes it better than it has any right to be.
The Digital Antiquarian takes on Deus Ex. Always worth setting aside time for one of these.
Need for Speed: Underground 2 (2004) running in Chrome and Firefox with WebGPU graphics, widescreen up to 120 fps, controller support and online races. A fan project, and a neat way to revisit a 2004 game.
A high-contrast display serif built on the same foundations as Geist Sans, Geist Mono and Geist Pixel. The Geist family keeps growing.
A promo mix sent to Ralph Lawson for his Trans Europe Express show on KISS FM in February 1997, ahead of Homework. A great bit of Daft Punk history to be able to hear.
Ancient scribes may have answered the question of future emoji 5,000 years ago.
