This brave little game did not want to grow up to be a well respected driving simulation or a famous fighting game like most of his brothers and sisters back in the days of the first Playstation. Its honorable aspiration was to become part of the secret psychedelic and anarchic gaming history that started when the first italian 8-bit plumber nibbled away on a mushroom to grow bigger and hit his head even harder.
From the very beginning games have used psychedelic imagary and aesthetics. But LSD did go a step further by getting rid of the action-perception-patterns and management-tasks that usually hold games together. Instead it offered an environment and dreamlike logics to explore. It is a trip with no other purpose but exploring the possibilities.
The links below offer more insight in the actual gaming experience and its excellent use of multi-media:

The Flaming Lips is a very consistent Psychedelic band devoted to explore the psychedelic sound and visuals alike. “Watching the Planets” is from their concept album titled “Embryonic” (2009).

It’s been a week since the Daily Psychedelic Video has been hacked by a hacker who thought that destroying this psychedelic web-site would be a good way of expressing his views regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Anyway, we are now back, with a new group of editors to bring you psychedelc videos and with this exquisite psychedelic scene out of Ang Lee’s taking woodstock.
To my mind, this is probably the best cinematic representation of the psychedelic experience. It is very delicate and gives tremendous amount of attention to the little details so that to me it is clear that whoever created it knew a thing or two about the psychedelic experience. The scene (the trip starts of at 3:20) pays a lot of attention to the slow changes in perception, the changing of colors and the orgasmatic feelings in the body.
Alexander Jodrowsky is a genius. Both as a film maker as well as an esoteric thinker and writer. His 1973 Holy Mountain is nothing short of a masterpiece. Highly psychedelic, highly bizarre and and highly revelatory. Check it out.
