NOTE: you have to click on the game window after it launches for it to detect inputs. IDK why, but 'tis what 'tis.

NOTE 2: the downloadable builds are recommended, because a lot of the 2D textures are currently broken in the web build. But if you do play on web, know that it'll buffer about twice and then it'll run smoothly.

Come play Randy Raccoon's Dumpster Drive! This classic Super Indie City Konsole tech-demo was once thought to be lost media after the last-known copy was stolen---and subsequently buried in the woods---by a rabid fan trying to drum up hype for their S.I.C.K. themed ARG. Its demo disk gained a niche following amongst once-and-future game devs, and its staunchest defenders still insist that it provided the direct inspiration for Kirby Air Ride's now-iconic City Trial mode. Its biggest detractors, on the other hand, will tell you that it's an unfinished glorified PSA attempting to teach kids that littering is totally uncool by dressing up its messaging in the aesthetics of grunge culture. And its mysterious developers, the ominously-named 503 DWELLERS, have refused to comment on any of these claims---but occasionally a rumor will surface that their small office's lights are back on in the wee hours of the night.

Whatever the case, this abandoned game and its legacy are an undeniable presence in the transient history of that ill fated Konsole---and for the first time in over 20 years, it is yours to experience (courtesy of an anonymous donor who insists they were not the one to bury it in the woods).

So what are you waiting for? Get out there and "Paint the town RAD"!
