I seriously had a discussion about this very thing on Tuesday after playing a game of Harbingers with people who've never seen the 2nd booster tape. "Wait, you have a video where I don't know what's going to happen? Can we play?" Hell, I ever suggested going the PC game route and just using the eyes for
exactly the reasons you suggest. (Oh god, please tell me aliens aren't involved). Mining all available sources would be great, and you are right flash would be super easy to use to get what we want (I didn't think of that!). We could even pull background music from the PC game's soundtrack (which is 74 minutes long).

I guess it would depend on how much they need vs how many people actually remember/find the games interesting. Would be so cool though if they put a trailer up with a new Gatekeeper telling all you maggots to make a pledge lol.
That would be awesome, but only if they had a good new version. Each of the game's incarnations (Nightmare, Harbingers, Gatekeeper, even Khufu) were different in some way from each other while still touching on the same themes and gameplay decisions. There's some more design space left for the themes that haven't been tapped so I think there is still room for a game if it's done right.
You sound like the type of maggot that learnt to crawl before you walked but never got to the walking part. -- The Gatekeeper
please take one step forward - oh, and watch that first step, its a doozy, you are BANISHED! --The Gatekeeper...to me.
