Keen Reference in Phylox

Post by Lumpytoast »

inb4 stupid reference threads

Phylox is a rather odd game from Beavis-Soft, who is much better known for Wacky Wheels. In it, you control some guy in a haz-mat suit and shoot stuff while flying around with your jetpack through caves.
You can tell I've only played it for a couple minutes. :p
After dying a bazillion times trying to figure out why the game was running so damn fast, (turning down the CPU cycles in DOSBox alleviated this) I was brought to the high scores screen.

I'm certain that pretty much no one has even heard of this game before. You can check out this 3D Realms Forum thread to find out more:

That just leaves SDD as the mystery reference.
