you gotta believe: PaRappa the Rapper 2
9 OctThis game, as well as the first one (on ps1), is full of psychedelic awesomeness. It is a rhythm game for ps2 not unlike Space Channel 5. And from the first moment on you feel it is one from the days when those games still had the freedom to aim for pleasing a niche audience instead of everyone and their parents. Another one for the list of stoner game classics.
The second video shows you some of the gameplay and the third one is a song from the game but looks just like a very cute music video.
Enjoy!
Trippy Trends in Minecraft: Freefall
2 OctWe have covered Minecraft before here on dpv. But this time the psychedelic activity is completely user generated. And this proofs an important point: If people would live in a box of legos they would still look for a way to trip.
It is also interesting to compare the aesthetics especially of the first video to the trippy sequence of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Les Rallizes Denudes – People Can Choose

11 SepYou might not remember the 80’s as a particularly psychedelic decade. Now here are your new memories. This is a video of beautifully blissful 80’s laser disco psychedelia. Enjoy!

More Psychedelic PC Gaming: The Unfinished Swan
4 SepThis one is kind of picking up the thread from The Devil’s Tuning Fork and the recent Painting Reality post.
Like The Devil’s Tuning Fork you are exploring your surroundings from a first person perspective through creative interaction. The world may be already there and finished, but your possibilities of interaction depend on you filling the – in this case big white or big black – blanks.
Mushroom Enhanced Kung Fu Fighting: Rag Doll Kung Fu
28 AugThe original Rag Doll Kung Fu was an independently developed (by the now “game of the year”-famous makers of Little Big Planet) drug infested rag doll fighting game. It was blasting with marijuana leaves, explicit mushroom abuse and colorful space and time bending effects. I would say it was THE stoner-movie among video games.
You can still play it and there is a free-to-play demo available. Check out the games homepage.
Psychedelic Indie Gaming: Spheres of Chaos
21 AugAnother secret classic of psychedelic independent pc-gaming. At first glance Spheres of Chaos might be just another Asteroids clone. But after playing it for only a few minutes one realizes that this one is aiming for your brain… to burst into millions of colorful pieces.
From a review found on the games homepage:
“Imagine a world where instead of using his experiences with LSD to become an evangelist of therapeutic psychadelia, Timothy Leary had instead opted to learn assembler and program low-budget shmups for pc-download.”

Gems from the German Psychedelic Underground: Amon Düül II
14 AugThis is one remarkable find in the youtube galaxy: early footage of Amon Düül II performing psychedelic punk freak-outs blended with beautiful shots of a strangely solemn german countryside. As far as I know the camera is operated by a young Wim Wenders.
