Line 12:
The games are [[George Lucas Throwback|16-bit-style]], action-adventure side scrollers that parody both popular culture and the [[Emo Music|Emo]] music scene. Most of the humor is derived from its over-the-top portrayal of media figures and TV shows, as well as in-jokes for emo fans, [[Shout-Out|shout outs]] to [[The Eighties|'80s]] and [[The Nineties|'90s]] kids shows, and its willingness to [[Crosses the Line Twice|cross every line of decency]] to make the player laugh.
A third game in the series, titled ''Super Emogame III'', was announced in early 2005, and was originally planned for a 2006 release. Updates were released on occasion (including a demo), and it was planned to be on a music CD that would be available through the website. It has since entered the status of [[Vaporware]], with Jason Oda putting a notice on his website saying that, with the game an incomplete mess with [[Unintentional Period Piece|mostly outdated humor]], it will probably never see the light of day. The game's site used to be accessible [https://web.archive.org/web/20100227085552/http://superemogame.com/v1/ here] for a look at [[What Could Have Been]], but sadly, it's down (and the Wayback Machine doesn't work with its Flash-heavy page).
Jason Oda is still making games, which can be viewed through his website, [http://starvingeyes.com/ Starving Eyes].
