Williams, 1958Ever since the release of Star Wars, I feel like I've been hearing the phrase "world under glass" a LOT!
So, I am curious, what game do you think has the best world under glass?
I can think of a lot of games, but personally, I think I have to give it to Wizard of Oz.
(p.s. sorry for yet another "best" thread, hehe).
Almost any 90's game, really. Well themed mechanical features make the game feel like a unique living world.
MM has a castle that you attack and destroy, a princess in a castle, a catapult, and trolls
MB has classic monsters that come to life
AFM & RFM have UFOs and martians "running around"
RS has animated talking rednecks
Dr. Who has a moving/multistage time expander
Addams has Thing "stealing" the ball & a moving bookcase
Dracula has Drac in his coffin, spooky castles and graveyard, and the "possessed" mist ball
Shadow has all sortsa crazy crap, controllable daggers/divertors, the sanctum and it's cool magnet trick, and the Battlefield upper playfield
NGG has the slam ramp for hole-in-one shots and two Gophers who pop up and taunt you.
CV's got the Ringmaster, the juggling trick, menagerie ball, neon
...and on and on and on.
I don't think anybody understood this concept better than Python Anghelo. Cyclone and Pinbot are great examples of a world under glass.
