Dgeneration |
| | dgeneration (Video Game) |
comment |
An Action Game for home computers published by Mindscape in 1991, D/Generation takes place in the year 2021 at a genetics research facility based in Singapore. You play a courier armed with a laser gun who is charged with delivering a package to a man named Derrida, CEO of Genoq. In the course of doing this you battle genetic experiments and save employees of the company (or ignore them, or kill them, or allow them to die), never straying from your mission to deliver the package.25 years after it first came out, this game was re-released: first on Playstation 4 in 2016, and then on Nintendo Switch in 2018, in two varieties: original and HD. |

Time Stands Still: One item temporarily freezes time for everything except you. However, this also means that you can't toggle switches until the effect wears off. |

Unwitting Pawn: You, the courier. It wasn't Derrida who ordered the package, it was the D/Generation, and delivering the item gives it the ability to escape. The final stretch of the game consists of making sure it doesn't. |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: By persevering and making it all the way to Derrida to accomplish your task, you realize the stakes are much higher than initially thought: you've given the D/Generation the one thing it needs to escape the facility. The final level consists of fixing what you broke. |

comment |
Timed Mission: The last quarter of the game gives you 20 minutes to win. Genoq has dispatched a bomber to destroy the building and remove all evidence of the bioweapons. This is unlikely to kill you, however — the D/Generation will take care of that first. |
