78641 is a "hit Esperanto interactive simulator" now available in English - a surreal freeware adventure game in which you play a frying pan named Dougo Beaches who deals with car trouble. There is time traveling. And don't worry, the Ethiopian children who drew the artwork were "paid in candy / peanut substance." Video trailer. Windows only.
Inspired silliness from GZ Storm, which also brought you "Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden" the rogue-like "Sewer Goblet - The Wu-Tang Clan and the Wu-Tang Baby" and the Ungus Fungus comic strip.

Because if there is one thing Windows users love, it's installing random freeware on their machine! It always works out so well for them!

I always make sure to "Run As Administrator" whenever I find random programs on the internet, just in case the developer forgot to write it properly. It can't hurt, right?

Sandboxie is a nice tool for protecting your system from random executables that you run on Windows.

Totally.
The trailer alone is a major achievement. The game itself is all that and more.

While we are on the topic of Esperanto, here is Shatner speaking it in the film Incubus from 1965.

> I was going to protest the Windows-only
Geeze, guys. I can't run Windows-only games (and I appreciate the heads-up) but I like this post. The first link alone makes it worthwhile; the rest are gravy. Silliness like that is good for you.

This is the sort of creative surealism that is missing from the mainstream gaming industry.
We want surrealism and weirdness in our entertainment.

... And of course, there is no original Esperanto version. Darn it!

This is what 1992 should have been like.
