Thursday Morning Video (Early Edition): Sumotori Dreams

Not another MST3K short today, but these videos are infinitely more obscure and do require some set up. Sumotori Dreams is a very small program that can't necessarily be called a game, much less even a tech demo. The premise is supposed to be two large, blocky creatures duke it out sumo-style, and the first to fall to his knees is the loser.
Thanks to some automated character physics that can best be described as "wonky," it doesn't really work like that:





The second video is without sound, so I recommend playing Elvis Costello's I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down over it.

The bouts last mere seconds, but that's not the highlight of the game, obviously. From what I understand, after victory is decided, the two misshapen characters attempt to shift themselves into position to face each other and bow, marking the end of the battle. Either by confused programming or a mad genius, this tortuous process is the most entertaining part of the game.
