So I was googleing around and found a game I have never heard of before . It is called MDK , with no true meaning to the game's name .

While the actual meaning of the title's TLA is not revealed within the game, the gaming press and fans adopted Murder, Death, Kill, which was coined as a neologism in the film Demolition Man. Yet another possibility is documented inside the game manual, where Kurt's mission is named Mission: Deliver Kindness. In the readme for the MDK demo, it is stated that nobody's quite sure what "MDK" means, it means whatever they need it to mean on that given day. Since the readme was penned on Mother's Day, the meaning for that particular day is "Mother's Day Kisses". It is interesting to note that the title also corresponds to the names of the three characters: Max, Dr. Hawkins, and Kurt.

Any ways the thing that got me most interested is the major leap of Graphics , On the poster for the game it says and I quote " The most impressive PC game ever made ."
So I got a little giggle out of it .

Here is a few screen shots as well as the poster for the game .

With those graphics, it looks like it was made in the... late 80's, MAYBE early 90's?

That is just about the worst graphics I've ever seen.. I've seen a few better looking games that were from the 80's

PS: Zelda came out November 23, 1998.

I love the experiments of gaming failures. Its always interesting to see what people make and how hard they fail when they create it.
