I've always thought King Missile's
Failure was a pretty good depiction of the kind of intrusive, self-defeating thoughts that characterize depression. The recent FPP'd game
Depression Quest does something similar. What are some other works that are reminiscent of the
experience of having depression or another mental illness (as opposed to depicting characters with the illness?)

When I was little (think 80s), a neighborhood friend taught us a musical co-op game that was played with one plastic cup per person (maybe?), and at least 4 people (though it could go up much higher as long as the number were equal).

OK.... After the mid-song break in the Axel F
Crazy Frog remix, the music is temporarily stolen from a game, probably on the Commodore 64. What game? Also, there was a cult website using the original game's music along with epilepsy-inducing multicoloured pop-up windows. Where is that site? Inquiring minds need to know.
