Panic!/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Bizarro Episode: This game did Adult Swim-style non sequitur humor back when Cartoon Network was just an itch in Ted Turner's pants. Not one tiny bit of this game makes sense. At all.
  • Cult Classic: Despite having some of the most simple and shallow gameplay ever programmed, Panic! maintains a small following because of how uniquely and unremittingly weird it is.
  • Ear Worm: The delightful main title theme and a good many of the other background tunes are quite catchy.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: Two of the booby-trapped switches feature downtown Manhattan getting nuked and the Empire State Building collapsing into rubble, while another shows a jumbo jet blowing apart in midair. Yeeeeah, turns out exploding national landmarks aren't quite as humorous anymore. The PS2 re-release changed it to having said landmarks spew diarrhea instead.
