Please Enjoy: This Supercut Of LSD: Dream Emulator Footage
Above is 24 minutes worth of footage from the PlayStation 1 cult classic LSD: Dream Emulator Footage, the Limited Edition version to be exact. Every bit was directly exported from the game disc with care, hence why such obscurity is so crystal clear.
You know, speaking as a somewhat self-professed expert on wacky Japanese PSone imports, even I’m fairly clueless about LSD. It doesn’t help that the game itself… much like dreams as a whole… are truly indescribable.
Though here’s a video that presents just the facts, ma’am. On that note, I also have to wonder if many are apprehensive about tackling the subject, due to the fact that it’s the go to for the lazy Lets Players on YouTube who just want an easy excuse to scream “OH JAPAN!!!” Thankfully, the following is devoid of all that nonsense…
Again, there’s not as much in-depth writing about LSD as one might hope or expect. I was actually surprised to find only one dedicated post about the game… actually, the accompanying book that’s mentioned in the video above… over at Eastern Mind. Right off the back, it’s interesting how the book, alongside the soundtrack + remix release, are almost considered equals.
BTW, time once again to state how much I truly miss Eastern Mind. Bruno de Figueiredo’s efforts towards shedding light on the lesser-known video game artisans (not just over at Eastern Mind but CoreGamers as well) have yet to be matched. Though, despite not knowing the specifics, I still understand Bruno’s decision to walk way… mostly due to the fact that, as of late, I too have considered doing the same.
But, back to Bruno, at least he did an article of another PSone curiosity that I just found out about, which is less of a game and more of a database compiled by Japan’s most renown authority on UFOs around those parts…
