Monster Party was originally darker; however, Nintendo's strict censorship rules prevented that from being achieved. Despite that, however, there are some things that got past them, such as blood, some uses of the word 'hell', and a strange 'glitch' that causes the first level to change from the lighthearted version to...this:

Hidden inside the N64 game the New Tetris are several rants by several employees as well as a bunch of weird messages and ASCII art and a copyright notice with swear words in it. Examples:

I must say, this was a fun time coming down to San Francisco to do The New
Tetris. Allthough there were a few problems. First of all being our producer..
D*N, my god.. is this guy useless or what?? I don't hate you D*N.. but you SUCK,
and I mean SUCK as a producer. You should go back to testing video games, but I
doubt you could even manage that properly. I feel sorry for you. During this
project you just sat around and played video games.. starcraft and everquest.
Don't even deny that.. when you WERE working, it was making stupid Excel ™
spreadsheets to try and tell me how many bugs I had left to fix on a graph..
like WTF is that??? who cares.. I have the bug list in front of me, like I need
to see it in freaking technicolor. So D*N, I must say this.. hold onto, and fake
your job while you can, because once they find out how truely useless you are,
you will be out of a job. I cannot think of any skillset you would fit into in
this industry, so you better hold on tight. (This guy thought I could save a
name in 8.4 BITS.. like umm.. .4 BITS?? WTF is .4 BITS?? its either ON or OFF,
not in between... anyhow, Enough about you though.

To Nintendo.. It has been nice working with you.. Alot of you are great or were
great. Tom 'Snoop Dog' Hertzog - you were great.. one of the nicest people I
have ever met at Nintendo. You and your crews bug testing was outstanding and I
commend you for the excellent work. Erich Waas - You know we have been friends
a long time, but I must say this. After you had accepted the ART form for The
New Tetris, and later on your higher ups said it was not UNISEX enough, you
slapped the blame on H2O, Chris Bretz in particular. You did not have the balls
to accept blame for your mistake, and stuck our entire team under IMMENSE stress
and FRENZY. This to save your A$$ from getting in trouble at Nintendo. I still
like you Erich, which is more than I can say for the rest of the team that you
screwed because of this. But I guess your standing at Nintendo is more
important than the friendships you had here. You always knew we had telent and
you recognized that. I know you wanted to work with us again one day maybe
outside of Nintendo, I think you screwed up those chances though.

While I am screaming.. I might as well say this: Niel Voss.. your music is
freaking KICK A$$.. you are one really damn talented boy. BUT, you are one of
the laziest music guys I think there is You could go far if you wanted to,
but you just lack the GO for it. It is a shame. I wish you all the luck and
would reccomend you to ANYBODY just because even though everything is last
minute, and like pulling teeth, the end result is AMAZING.

I am leaving H2O after this project to work at 3DO. I hope this will be a good
move for me. I love H2O, As amazingly disorganized of a company it is. I LOVE
the people, I have so many good friends there. It will be hard to move on. Of
course they will stay my friends. They were more than just co-workers.. they
were FRIENDS. They were the people I lived with, spent my days and nights
with.. went to bars with, camped with, drank with (alot), did other bad things
with (wont elaborate ). They are true great friends, and I love them all and
will miss them dearly. Allthough Vancouver is only a 2 hour flight away, I hope
I can visit often. My best friends would include. Ross, Max, Scott, Jake,
Bretz, Roland, Johnny, Sarah.. these are the people I love the most. And I wish
you success. My 4.5 years at H2O were basically, making games.. drinking alot,
playing pool alot, going to bars and raves and dancing while really screwed up
in the head. THAT HAS TO BE THE MOST FUN I HAVE EVER HAD, and probably ever
will. The good old days. These guys are in Vancouver right now because I got
stuck finishing this project in San Francisco (Which by all means I LOVE and am
staying (hence 3DO))

Well boys and girls, I just thought I would immortalize some thoughts I have at
the moment into a rom which will be burned forever. This game sucks. The music
is great but the game itself is not how we wanted it unfortunately. I mean, it
is a good game, but some things could be polished, as well as sped up. Could
use another month to finish this thing off AFTER all the bugs are fixed. oh
well, woh is me.

I would love to give special loves and kisses to the following. My Girlfriend
Amy Bond, My Family (Joy, Allyson, Jon Pridie, Brant Sangster), My really really
best old friends Selim Arikan, Cory Haberly, Jason Vasilash, Alfred Huger,
Oliver Friedrichs.

Goodbye H2O, it was a blast, and I mean that with all my heart.

of them will remember me from the C64 and PC days, Martial Artist of
PE/TDT/RAZOR 1911/INC/FLT/TRN/FBR, I was in them all.. and I made trainers and
intros mostly. I thank that scene for teaching me how to program, because
without it I don't think I would be where I am today.

Well that does it 4.5 years and Two games later (Tetrisphere and New Tetris).
Unfortunately I wont be working on Nomans Quest.. but oh well. HAPPY CANADA DAY.

14] Crappy parkers who park their car REALLY close to the painted line so that
you have half a foot to get out.

some strange reason... with the acient driver who always drives WAY under the
speed limit.

17] Corvettes, Comaros and Firebirds. Come on, the 80s are OVER!
18] A$$hole tailgaters.
19] Idiots who think they can pedal a bike as fast as a car, so they ride in the
middle of a traffic lane. You should be allowed to run them over, it looks like
natural selection to me.
20] Teenagers on television news reports expressing their opinions on something.
If your under 18 I don't give a sh1t about what you have to say...
21] The singer Brandy, Celine Dion, all the divas....
22] Twits who wear a huge parka outside when its sunny and a mild 5-10 C. The
same thing goes with the whole scarf thing.

28] Peice of sh1t cars that spew out huge noxious clouds behind them.
29] People that throw out huge items on the curb expecting the garbage people to
remove it. Like old dirty matresses. They don't of course, and it sits on the
curb for weeks.
30] Budweiser beer and the people who drink it. I'd rather suck the piss out of

someones home page going through them...

streets and being annoying.
43] Big fat bugs that splat on my windshield.
44] Those really tight spandex cycling pants on men, they are usually sooooo
tight, you can tell if they are cirumcised.
45] Those really tight spandex cycling pants on 90% of the women. Big fat a$$es
and *wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide* camel toes.
46] Those really annoying commericals from Rogers Cable that tell you all about
the 'evils' of satalite tv and how lucky you are to be getting cable for a mere
$65 a month.
47] Commercials that are SO bad on tv, you have to wonder about the sh1t for
brains who thought them up. Like the Old Navy commericals, or the old as hell
commercial for Sarah Lee, that is STILL ON THE AIR, 'let them eat cake' and 'But
Patrick, I'm to old for life insurance.' Shoot them ALL!
48] Losers that listen to totally cheezy radio stations and then slap dozens of
their stupid stickers all over thier car.
49] Lilith Fair. I say when they are all hugging, listening to the music,
sharing tampons, and bitching about how evil men are, toss in a few hundered
grenades while recording it on camera. Sell the video as a 'To Hot for TV' tape
late at night.
50] Cheap a$$ manufacturers of DVDs who list as 'features' chapters, interactive
menues, and the time. These arent features. Thats like calling your computers
keyboard a 'feature'. Lame a$$ marketing people.
51] DVD manufactureres that sell their DVDs for $40 and up, just because they
know people will pay for it. DVDs have actually become MORE expensive than when
they first came out.
52] Nintendo and everything about them.
53] Old people who clog up the sidewalk walking super slow when you want to get
somewhere.

another one out to anybody. EVER.
55] Spiders. All spiders. Everyone of them.
56] How on the Nintendo 64 game machine, half the damn titles for it are called
'miscvidgame 64'. Why not come up with a real name? Why is everyone just
slapping a 64 on all the games?

Quote:*** F004 *** The ancients believed that everything that existed had a voice and
that all creatures were externally singing the praises of the creator. However,
contemporary man, because his soul is immersed in the illusion of material
existence, can no longer hear those divine melodies. In the quest for social
transformation the psychedelic experience runs throughout our society, teaching
us how to wake up from the insanity our culture is engulfed in. The psychedelic
experience opens a window so that we can see the mechanical, endlessly repeating
thought programs that carry through our lives. However, this experience is only
a catalyst and cannot be mistaken for the real thing. The personal
transformation of the psychedelic journey comes to an end when the individual
attains a pure state of feeling and being. This is the enlightbenment, the art of
being in the here and now. *** F004 ***

constitutional rights we would like to leave you with one very important thought.
Sometime in the future you may have the opportunity to serve as a juror in a
censorship case or a so called obscenity case. It would be wise to remember that
the same people would stop you from listening to Boards of Canada may be back
next jury to complain about a book or even a T.V. program. If you could be told
what you can see or read then it follows that you can be told what to say or
think. Defend your constitutionally protected rights. No one else will do it
for you. Thank you. *** F003 ***

Mother Earth. Your people better rise up together. Your people better rise up
soon. I want my planet back! *** F002 ***

to a new understanding and value of life, a vision that inspires you to live and

Perhaps you are aware of those who watch over your home, and experience it as a
place to visit and play with reality. You are becoming aware of yourself as a
