Lost media: forgotten Big Bang Theory fan-game

preview

cross-posted from: sh.itjust.works/post/66797464

I’ve been thinking about lost media recently, and I’ve suddenly remembered a bunch of old memories about tv shows, movies, YouTube videos, etc. that I want to go searching for again.

Today though, I want to focus on a game memory I have.

Around the early 2010’s, there was this game I encountered on the Google play store. I never played it, but I remember clicking on it to see what it was about. It was a fan-made game based on long-running sitcom ‘The Big Bang Theory’ called Ballpit Bazinga with the slogan “Find Sheldon”.

Interestingly enough, I went searching for it on the internet and to my surprise, though it is (obviously) no longer available, I did find the ‘official’ website of the game, possibly one of the last traces of it on the internet. Though the game is no longer available (at least, it doesn’t seem to be, unless anyone can get it working from the link above?) the website does give some more details about this game that confirm what I remembered reading about it.

• First of all, this game appears to have been created by someone named Samuel Reid.

• Second of all, the website is timestamped 30 September 2011 (though I only found this via the googling of this game, see below).

• Thirdly, the website gives a publisher description that matches what I remember as the description of the game I saw on the App Store (or I believe I did, anyway). The description reads:

Help! Sheldon Cooper is running amok in a child s ball pit! You must help Leonard catch Sheldon by tapping him whenever he appears. But don’t hit Leonard, you’re trying to help him remember.

Beware of the Bazinga! If you hear that fabled phrase, you know you ve missed him this time…

Requires iOS 3.2 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

Unfortunately, this is about as much as the website says about this game. And there doesn’t appear to have been any play through videos of the game itself on YouTube, etc. However, I am glad that my recollection of the existence of this game could be confirmed by the surviving traces of it. Too often is media lost via the method of all traces disappearing from existence, so to even have small traces of this game to remember it is a win for me. However, I do also find it notable that, if my recollection is correct at least, that a game of this nature made it to the app store in the first place.

Thanks for reading.

i’m not entirely sure what it says. i think on the left: “The cats in 1800. Today i have decimated a whole colony of rats and finished two birds by the way”. On the right: “The cats in 2026. You have changed my ?? and ???”.

i found it still funny though

too much rule? DAY 55 [OC, brainmade]

digital drawing on dark purple background. a lilac figure and a white figure are sitting on a couch. Lilacs hand touches Whites. Lilac says "hey, can i kiss you?" to which White responds "umm... i mean... sure". Lilac is now holding Whites head and is wrapping the other arm around Whites waist and kisses them. next Lilac asks "can i do it again?" to which White responds with a small nod. Lilac kisses White again, this time holding their face while they do it. again, Lilac backs off, asks "another?" and White, a bit exhausted, says "...can i just tell you when it's too much?" to which Lilac finally responds "oh, of course".

oh of course, everything for my White.

sorry, no alt image today, catbox is down.

not sure how this will land with y’all, might be too much. but eeeeeeh- this is 196 where peeps post making out images and yap about kinds so this is fiiiine. nothing to worry about, this is absolutely safe for work, your boss wouldn’t bat an eye if they saw this on your monitor.

yea i had a sudden urge to make this and now its here. that second-to-last line was difficult. i wanted White to not be too demanding while also not implying like they would ever want it to stop. i think it “being too much” is a reasonable clause to use.

i’m still one post behind. i’m mostly eating buldak noodles with brother and… yea not sure what to make really. i look in my pictures folder for inspiration,But all i see is potatos, dario amodei, nappies, Friedrich Merz and burger king. not very helpful.

i wanna make some post about sky cotl again like i did some time ago even if it won’t garner as many comments as these types of posts would. oh well, sacrifices have to be made for… me. yes, i am sacrificing your enjoyment over my own interests, this really does sound cruel doesn’t it? i don’t wanna be cruel, i wanna be good and nice. and polite. wow what a callback.

i wish you a wonderful day in which you have some fun.
