We love memes. And we’d be stupid not to encourage this one. We want as many mocked up screenshots for other levels that might have appeared in Limbo of the Lost.
This is one from RPS reader James, nabbed from his site here. Send us your work to this this address, and we’ll pull out some sort of excellent prize for the one that makes us laugh the most. All the submissions will go in a post next week before the meme runs out. Usual rules here.
Someone at work immediately did one on our unannounced title. And then 3 or four souls went out to try to buy the game before it got shelved. So, um. We’re there with you in spirit.

When’s the PCG review, John?

Best. Compo. Ever. (Hey, one good meme deserves another)
Of course, if you can get hold of a copy of the game itself it would certainly make for an ‘interesting’ prize.
report
If the game is the prize, the only way to win is by not participating.
report
Oh my.. Brb.

If you’d like to spread this meme across the Atlantic it would help incrementally if you didn’t say “compo”. It takes a second to figure out what that means. Could you please learn to speak soulless Americanized broadcast English? Thanks.

Hmm.. I’ll figure something out :)

Don’t forget to email entries peeps, or they won’t get counted.
Benjamin – it is now your duty to take “compo” – a word that’s been used in UK games mags since they began, and we proudly carry forward – to the Americans and teach them of its ways.

When this inevitably turns into the next tediously overused the-chuck-norris-is-a-lie meme you guys are going to be so embarassed you helped birth this monster. Think about it, do you really want the first comment for every post with new screens for Puzzle Quest 2 or Red Alert 3 to be “Wow, that Limbo of the Lost sequel is looking good.”

Actually eV, “Wow, that Limbo of the Lost sequel is looking good,” is an ACE line. In-joke acquisition, activate!

It’s taken 15 long years, and a good bit of foresight to predict the creation of Flash, but I can now present my wholly original work “Limbo of the Misguided”:
http://www.thup.com/lol/
It’s a web game more inspired by literature and, uh, vaudeville than by any other games.
Hope you enjoy!

Limbo of the Misguided, well what can I say except this….GENIUS!

“I don’t know why they call it Hoth. They should call it… Coldth.”

Seriously, I can’t imagine what was going through the creators’ minds, I mean… Did they honestly think nobody was going to notice what they’d done?

Yes, you are the dog. And yes, it is even more overpowered than the soldier.

That’s worth a prize for 1/2 arsed effort good sir!

This took up entirely too much of my time.

I’m dissapointed by the lack of Realtime Shadows in these pics. Now I just need to make my own…

I’d have been pleased with my entry using FIFA 97 had somebody else not already done something similar.
And his involves the protagonist being a GIANT! :(

Loving ‘The Hobbit’ one in particular.

Is the address needed? The post says nothing about it ^^

What, no Fallout 2 screens yet?
I’d do one but I’m stuck at work.
Maybe later if no one beats me to it.

Hahaha SWOS one wins. :)

I’m not sure if my e-mail got through:

One of a few ideas I’m throwing around.

I think the Zork one should win. That’s just genius.

They’re all good, but the Dos Zork I text game tickled me the most. Genius!

Here’s one of a selection.
