Plumbers Don't Wear Ties

Plumbers Don't Wear Ties, the legendarily awful 3DO game, is now fully playable on YouTube. It is a (barely) "Interactive Romantic Comedy," whose main selling point is its "17+" rating for innuendo, language, and censored nudity. (Walkthrough inside) Walkthrough: He makes a first move! He plans a vigorous assault later on! The hairball takes advantage of the situation!! Our heroine declines the disgusting proposal! John heroically dashes off to save Jane!! Jane rejects the power. I want the Hollywood ending!! Or just watch the individual scenes in whatever order you want.

If lovin' this heat is wrong, I don't wanna be right.

Duelin' Firemen was originally conceived as a 3DO game. According to this old subgenius post (Rev. Ivan Stang was apparently part of the cast), it was slated to be completed in July of 1995. It never saw the light of day. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it), some of the game's video sequences survive, edited together in all their seizure-inducing glory [YouTube]. Watch for cameos by Rudy Ray Moore, Mark Mothersbaugh, Tony Hawk, Timothy Leary, Steve Albini, David Yow, and a whole bunch of others... if you can actually bear to watch it.
