About that old Sega arcade game with the “holograms”:
At the beginning of the game you receive one Time Reversal Cube and are given the choice of either learning the moves you need for the game or immediately starting. If Marshall Gram perishes in the midsts of the game he can use a Time Reversal Cube to regain his life. Additional Time Reversal Cubes can be bought from The Trader for additional credits, but there is a limit of how many Cubes that can be purchased per game.
Whenever Marshall Gram dies, there will sometimes be a short intermission where an ancient wizard will say either “Do not forget about your Time Reversal Cubes!”, “Maybe you should have ducked!”, “You missed this time, next time try jumping!” or “You are all out of Time Reversal Cubes, go see The Trader!”. At other places in the game, The Devil will dare you to play his game called “Hell Gate” which is like a slot machine. If you play it, depending on which three pictures you get and depending on the matches and sequences, you will either win an extra life, lose a life or lose all your lives. If you lose everything there will be a sign saying “Welcome To Hell” and the game will end.

Computer games are phenomenally good at capturing the zeitgeist.
Speaking of zeitgeist, this post got cloned by tons of spammers!
