Then suddenly things start to change. Do the effects of Randy Balma’s attempted self-abortion wear off? No, certainly not. The school bus becomes a landmark, and yet it moves. Psychedelic colours and motions still going steady, although not yet married.

When it finally comes to aborting clients, Randy Balma is already jumping planets with the mark of death on hands and eyes. Mark Essen has told you a story and made you sick in the head. You have learned your lesson.

Lots of people might go and called this a failed hack, but retroyou’s R/C series, released under the RIAA warning of “Fuck the gravity code!”, is more of an exploration of the limits of control. It could be as simple as transferring the technical limits of RC cars to the actual computer game – you just cannot really control what goes on on screen anymore. It could be as simple as using a once commercial game to create psychedelic colours, kind of like circuit bending – using something that was not built for this purpose to create something beautiful.

And, of course, it does question our belief in digital reality. And I am pretty sure that Re-Volt was very easy to hack.

The only authentic statement of the author that can be found on his equally antagonistic website is:

.·let it play, let it play alone…

The rest of it are broken manuals, useful cheat codes and resources. Neat.
