Dank Zine Issue 76

Issue 76 dives deep into overlooked classics, cursed retro curiosities, and the people making art and games that matter. This issue features a full retrospective on Woody Poco, the 1986 “Real-Time Adventure Game” from dB-Soft that actively hates its players—and we love it for that. We also feature an in-depth interview with streamer and artist Tawejea, exploring how her art history background and community-focused streaming built something beautifully unique.

What’s Inside:

🪵 Woody Poco Breakdown – An extensive analysis of the RAG system, item mechanics, gender-switching potions, and why this game lets you accidentally die by equipping a candle.
🎨 Artist Spotlight: Tawejea – A thoughtful interview about art accessibility, Twitch community building, and pixel art as living history.
🎮 Indie Game Picks – Three standout indie titles you should download right now, including a landfill simulator and a very cheeky sliding puzzle game.
🌌 Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life – A surreal point-and-click fever dream that dares to be weirder than the movie it’s based on.
💀 Please Don’t Play This Game – A roast of Ewoks and the Dandelion Warriors, possibly the worst MSX “Star Wars” game ever made.
🔮 SNES-oscopes by MisterRadon – Get your life advice from a Super Nintendo cartridge.
🖼 Dank Art Gallery – New work from AnnK, GoemonSama, Chuboh, and Maru
