  • Man, I loved that game (the DOS original)! I don’t remember the baddies being Nazis, but it would fit what I do remember from the rest of the game.

    Just looked it up (it was originally called “Wolfenstein 3D II: the Rise of the Triad”):

    In order to keep as many of the numerous game assets the team had already created from going to waste, Tom Hall came up with a new storyline which still incorporated the Nazi themes seen in the Wolfenstein series, however they would ultimately depart from plotlines involving Nazis, with the final narrative concerning a cult apparently inspired by the Californian folk legend of the Dark Watchers or ‘los vigilantes oscuros’.

    Neat!

    Edit: aw, man, quote your sources, ffs!





  • Yeah, that art style looks very familiar. I’ll have to look into it more, since I’m starting to doubt some of the other details I provided. Oh, and the wiki says the animated series started airing on Canal+ in 1996. Maybe it aired elsewhere before?

    But yeah, I think this is it 👍.

    P.S. Iznogoud, like “is no good”. I must have misremembered his name, cuz that makes sense!



  • Oh, man, when I was a kid around 1990 I was in France (maybe? Pretty sure it was somewhere in Europe), and they had this subtitled cartoon (I didn’t know either language) that “starred” a villain named something like Amin Tumani (“I’m in to money”, but made into a name) that was a stereotypical middle easterner. And to add to the crazy I’m 99.9% sure he died at the end of every episode.

    If anyone knows anything about this cartoon, LMK.
