MDK (1997) on PSX.

A wild third-person shooter loaded with humor and packed with style.

This one’s personal. My family’s very first new computer—no hand-me-downs, no beige box relic—was the Bondi blue iMac, first generation. And it shipped with MDK.

I lost countless hours in that game. For 1997, it was jaw-dropping—smooth, stylish, and the first time I realized Macs could actually be great gaming machines. But that iMac wasn’t mine, it was my parents’, and eventually I had to let it go.

Years later, I picked it up again on PlayStation. Still great, but you notice the jaggies, the less-than-smooth framerate. The Mac port just had that extra shine.

Even so, MDK remains top-tier—right up there with Shiny’s other classic, Earthworm Jim.

A general gaming community for Piefed.

More games, less memes, no outrage culture.

Rules

  1. Stay civil.
    Debate ideas, not people. No personal attacks, no flame wars. More info here.

  2. This is not a gamer identity space.
    We don’t self-identify as “gamers.” Games are art, not a lifestyle brand. If your whole identity is about consumption, you’ll probably feel out of place here.

  3. Talk about games as art.
    Discussion should focus on design, ideas, and creative choices. What does this game say? What are the consequences of its mechanics? What does its aesthetic communicate?

  4. No discrimination.
    Prejudice, bigotry, or harassment of any kind will get you removed.

  5. No spam.
    Keep discussion meaningful. Don’t flood with promos or off-topic noise.

  6. Stay on topic.
    This space is for discussion of games as creative works, not for tech support, low-effort memes, or console wars.

  7. Evolving rules.
    These rules may change as the community grows and we refine what works.
