History VideoGame / Reelism

** Attempting to load "finale" or "townwar" via the console in Reelism 2 will have the former scold you for cheating after seemingly starting out as it normally would, ending with you sent to "Dog Limbo", a white room with nothing but a giant dog on a pedestal. The latter just takes you directly to Dog Limbo.

** [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Bronies]] - depicted as fat neckbeards in jeans - are one of the enemy slots, and don't do much but neigh and talk about the show in stilted, high-pitched voices, and serve as cannon fodder, meatshields, and ammo drops. [[Website/SomethingAwful Given that the mod author's a goon...]]

** If you approach the map's out-of-bounds (which is fatal), the "[[VideoGame/{{Berzerk}} Chicken! Fight like a robot!]]" sound clip plays as a warning. ''Reelism 2'' adds additional warnings, such as [[VideoGame/SNKVsCapcomSVCChaos "No escape!"]].

* ArtEvolution: The crates in the "Crate Shower" reel became 3D models in Reelism 2

** In Reelism 2's info page, the description of the "Night of the [=NPCs=]" reel states the ''Strife'' [=NPCs=] are probably mad because their game sold "like six copies".

In the end of March 2020, [[https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=68021 Kinsie announced that he is developing Reelism 2.]] Version 1.0 was released on April 16, 2022.

** If you approach the map's out-of-bounds (which is fatal), the "[[VideoGame/{{Berzerk}} Chicken! Fight like a robot!]]" sound clip plays as a warning. Reelism 2 replaces it with [[VideoGame/SNKVsCapcomSVCChaos "No escape!"]].

* AllThereInTheManual: A manual is included with the recent version, with descriptions for all the reel effects and bosses.

** [[spoiler:Getting three same numbers across the reels]] will result in a special jackpot bonus.

*** [[spoiler:FourIsDeath: Getting 4-4-4 will instantly kill the player four seconds into the round.]]
*** [[spoiler:NumberOfTheBeast: Getting 6-6-6 will transform the player into a Cyberdemon during the round.]]
*** [[spoiler:TimeStandsStill: Getting 10-10-10 will freeze everything, including the player, until the round ends, complete with elevator music. Fittingly, the reel combination is one of the most frustrating to have otherwise.]]
*** [[spoiler:CouchGag: Getting 9-9-9 executes map script 999, the effect of which depends on the map played. For example, on Reel Stadium it spawns an army of 8-bit football players while a remix of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII One Winged Angel]] plays.]]
** [[spoiler:If the round consists of "''HYPERPOWER!''" and "''Crate Shower''", large golden chests will appear. If the player breaks one, it has a chance of dropping a Holy Stone. If the player then throws a Holy Stone at a boss, it will trigger a secret GainaxEnding.]]
* EatingTheEnemy: The Cutlery is an interesting melee weapon that allows you to cannibalize enemies with a fork and knife. You gain a small amount of health for each kill.

** And to top it off, there's a wizard '''''who drives around in a monster truck.'''''

* LevelAte: The "Candy Planet" map.

** The [[VideoGame/{{Demonsteele}} DevilDriver]], natch.

** One of the quit messages says "Game Quit Would You Play?" This odd message is actually a reference to a DummiedOut continue screen from ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid''.

** The readme for ''Reelism 2'' comments on how the readme template most commonly used for ''Doom'' [=WADs=] [[TechnologyMarchesOn mentions distribution via BBS and diskettes]], saying that it must be older than most ''VideoGame/BrutalDoom'' players.

* ChainReactionDestruction: Bosses explode like this when they are defeated.

* TheGoomba: Bronies cannot attack at all. Same with the hand puppets from the sequel.

* VideoGameFlight: The "''Wing and a Prayer''" effect allows the player to fly during the round.

* MoreDakka: The whole point of the "Bullet Hoses" reel.

It can be downloaded [[http://thekinsie.com/reelism/ here]], and requires [[http://www.osnanet.de/c.oelckers/gzdoom/ GZDoom]] and a copy of ''Doom II: Hell on Earth'' to play.

!!The Tropes are Rolling:

!!Tropes found in Reelism:

*** [[spoiler:TimeStandsStill: Getting 10-10-10 will freeze everything, including the player, until the round ends, complete with elevator music.]]

** When dying from being killed by a fiery attack or hazard the infamous SonicTheHedgehog drowning music plays while you run around burning and screaming before you die.

** Jackpot 1-1-1 ''Original Character do not steal'' which creates a 60 second spawn wave of harmless recolored Sonics is a jab at extremely lazy "custom" sprite/official art that only consists of being recolored and is then being presented as original work which the SonicTheHedgehog fanbase is infamous for.

** Most of the music throughout Reelism is taken from the 16-bit generation, such as from the {{SNES}} or the [[UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis Sega Mega Drive]].

*** [[spoiler:CopyCatSue: Getting 1-1-1 will keep spawning lots of colorful Sonics which are ridiculously harmless, like bronies, and which die completely a-la the [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog source game]].]]
