has gloss | eng: Silliwood is the term given to the failed video game convergence of Hollywood and Silicon Valley in the early-to-mid-1990s. This was spurred on in large part by the success of CD-ROM games like Myst, and as a result gamers were given such quality productions as The Horde (starring Kirk Cameron), A Fork in the Tale (starring Rob Schneider), the infamous Night Trap (starring Dana Plato) and several games starring Tim Curry. But the byproducts of Silliwood weren't all terrible, and some decent titles still managed to squeeze their way out of the crap pile. These include the Dreamworks Studios title The Neverhood, the Warner Bros. Edgar Allan Poe game The Dark Eye and The Residents game Bad Day on the Midway. Not to mention appearances by Mark Hamill and Malcolm McDowell in the later Wing Commander games. |
