Interpose Xmas Greetings: 1996 Cat Person Shmup for DOS

It's time for Christmas LGR! Festivities begin this year with the 1996 holiday version of Interpose: a horizontally scrolling shoot-em-up by Twilight Zone Software and Webfoot Technologies. This "X-mas Edition" is only a teaser for the full game, but it's still surprisingly good stuff for a free holiday-themed MS-DOS title.

Man, I love the Christmas Clone tradition so much.

[@hyperrealisticpixeldeath408]

You & me both pal, can't think of any other KZbin channel that does it

[@MrClawt]

I look forward to Christmas Clones!

[@RyuNoZero]

who doesn't?.. oh yeah.. Clint ^^

[@seoulpurpose]

@@RyuNoZero That's probably my favourite part! Some of the best Christmas traditions bring equal parts joy and annoyance to the people practicing them, I love it.

[@GuybrushThriftweed]

The clone..... Is back!!!!

[@lanfan9488]

Not even joking, Christmas LGR is one of the things I most look forward to every year around the holidays. Thank you so much Clint, and I hope you have a very happy holiday season! CHRISTMAAAAAAAS

[@FennecTECH]

I inevitably forget iabout the christmas lgr then get a happy suprise.

[@fensoxx]

Dude me too. This put me in the holiday spirit more than anything else yet. Just freaking epic.

[@strain42]

Same! This and Edutainment Month are both always so incredible! :D

[@Capitalism_Skeleton]

The return of Christmas LGR brings me great seasonal joy Ｃ Ｈ Ｒ Ｉ Ｓ Ｔ Ｍ Ａ Ａ Ａ Ａ Ａ ＳＳＳＳ

[@geemcspankinson]

CHRIST M' A S S

[@valence_drive]

The Christmas Clone's wheezing always kills me. lmfao

[@koopakape]

6:50 "THIS is the point where I went from simply appreciating interpose to DEEPLY enjoying it" with that visual on screen.... :P

[@FenrirX]

I honestly think that was on purpose. Can't blame LGR doe. >.>

[@EndymionMkII]

You know it's December when you hear CHRISTMASSSSSS in one of LGR's new videos

[@stevethepocket]

"Interpose" is such a weird name for a game. It sounds more like what you'd name the company that made it.

[@reidhauke3389]

I can explain: I was 16 at the time, and the word "Interpose" had just entered my lingual universe. It was such a cool and catchy word, so I put it as the working title on the intro script / backstory. Naturally, the plotline would involve some... interposing, so what could be more enticing than doing that to save the world? Since none of us where native english speakers, the catchy word just stuck and made it to gold.

[@childofcascadia]

Sounds like a cross between interplay and microprose.

[@rayceeya8659]

YAY, Christmas time on LGR. I've actually been looking forward to this for days. The return of the Christmas Clone.

[@Ertain1]

Ah yes, LGR's alter ego (whom I like to call "Cliff-mus") rears his festive head once again.

[@stevef6392]

I sometimes do the Xmas Clone's "CHRISTMAAAAS!" around the office this time of year, just to see how many coworkers recognize it. Nearly half of them, so I'd say you're doing pretty well Clint!

[@ciredark]

Yo! DEMOSCENE!! You should do a whole episode just on Demoscene and some of the gatherings. Show off a couple of classics. Music videos made entirely in code.

[@meanmole3212]

this please

[@ZombieBroccoli]

7:20 "..If you're simply feline lucky..." Great show and happy holidays LGR.

[@ItsRetroPlanet]

Christmas clone, is BEST clone. Also, the video is fun, interesting, and just another game I need to try.

[@pistool1]

7:22 But, in the end, did the main lynxtagonist get some lynxgina of the shoplynxgal? :)

[@antwahndenjar6706]

Dude last Xmas I was living in a 10ft room in a rooming house and working at Target. I remember hating that room so much I would show up early to Target and watch LGR videos for like an hour before every shift. Thank you for helping me out in a dark time. Your content is phenomenal. Keep up the good work, Clint! Happy Holidays!

[@LGR]

As someone who seriously used to live in a 10ft room while working at Target, I'm glad the videos provided some enjoyable times in the midst of planograms and cramped quarters!

[@andersdenkend]

Holy crap, I have never even heard of thid Interpose game?! It looks awesome and I actually really like that "cat" gimmick. Always enjoyed seeing the Kilrathi in Wing Commander and wondered why something like that hasn't been done anymore.

[@orangerryog]

Honestly, nothing screams more Christmas than your clone waking up on December first right next to you in your bed staring back at you yelling, “CHRIFMAAAF” as soon as you open your eyes. Glad to see that LGR has a similar issue, makes me into “the Christmas spirit”

[@angrycandy5441]

I'm really not sure about that one cat scientist having a beard.

[@sterby1]

He doesn't seem to be amused of the fact either

[@ThePsycotrip]

gods plan

[@NumptyMcNumptyface]

If you like Interpose, chances are you'll like Stargunner as well. Quite similar in style, but the shopping takes part in between levels, similar to Raptor: Call of the shadows. Both are classic DOS shmups. :)

[@Pointepique]

When I see this creepy yet funny clone of you, it makes me realize that I lost another year. Thanks LGR, I really appreciate that

[@Vegas242]

'Mr. Weapon' ? Alright Interpose you can't sneak that Spaceballs reference past me lol

[@icky_thump]

OMG you being an absolute goof in the intro had me DYING lmao

[@Canivirus]

"Cat people fighting against humans" So basically backwards Wing Commander?

[@danieladamczyk4024]

well yes but yes

[@Azuris190]

Had the same Idea haha Maybe it is the true Story of Wing Commander and thinking, that we are defending us from Cat People, is only Human Propaganda.

[@lionocyborg6030]

Wing Commander crossed with Tyrian and Zero Wing.

[@danieladamczyk4024]

Rednammoc Gniw?

[@reidhauke3389]

Yes, it's a reverse WC :) But since the story was so basic, it needed a twist. In this case, a race swap. Allowed for the Stallone/Madonna graphical joke as well. But practically, it was rooted in some other creative dabblings at the timw where the Overlynx was the main idea.

[@MrVader104]

I honestly just want to see a Christmas clone origin story this year

[@handsomebrick]

It's probably some sort of time paradox.

[@kingsteve4304]

Something I noted was the book the clone seemed to have dug up, Puppet Masters, is actually what inspired Invasion of the Bodysnatchers.

[@grapsorz]

HEY.. i did a interview with the developers of "interpose" when they where making the game. i worked for a computer magazine named TEKNO at the time ;)

[@HattmannenNilsson]

I loved that magazine. Sadly, I think I only got a hold of a couple of issues before it mysteriously vanished.

[@StigDesign]

savner di bladene :)

[@StigDesign]

@@HattmannenNilsson meg og jeg har bare den med speedbuster på :D

[@platimatic]

Ah I remember that article. This one right? archive.org/details/Tekno_Magazine_04_1996/page/n5

[@malelonewolf80]

My favourite magazine in my youth. I still have some of those magazines, for keep-sake. Have many of the demo cd´s that were included with the magazine. Not to mention the cd´s with tracker based music on them. If I do remember correctly, I believe Tekno included a cd with the full version of this game back in the day. Regardless, it is sad that the magazine stopped coming to the stores. Never found another computer / gaming magazine that I liked as much, or that compared to Tekno.

[@Murasadramon]

Interpose is basically Wing Commander told from the Kilrathi perspective.

[@cliftongardner4367]

If I've been a good boy this year and leave out a roll of wood-grain vinyl by the fire, will Christmas Clone leave me a floppy disk in my stocking?

[@antwahndenjar6706]

Hahahha yoooo

[@gigglysamentz2021]

4:20 I can't believe you actually did the reverse name, that is seriously weird and I love it XD

[@ThePuppyPrince]

Long live the Christmas clone!

[@samuelmeasa9283]

At least till he gets packed away for next Christmas.

[@Hairytodger3686]

Coming back to this channel after a long time is like visiting an old friend or seeing your childhood house.

[@dafoex]

I can hear the e621 "overlynx" tag filling as we speak...

[@lirodon]

I searched those two words in quotation marks and I was scared

[@AzrialAlaria]

@@lirodon Good! Don't look at shit you can't handle.

[@anew742]

I'm disappointed there's no results, hopefully that'll change soon

[@AzrialAlaria]

@@anew742 Just wait... Lol ^.=.^

[@GreyHulk2156]

Love your attention to detail. Not many KZbinrs would go the extra mile to actually say Atnas Sualc genuinely backwards. Well done, sir. :) "He's my cousin, but doesn't he look almost exactly like Santa Claus?"

[@wilsonkierankitsune]

I actually remember this game, I played it on a old demo compilation CD you could buy back before the internet was a big thing. The same CD had Shadow Warrior on it among other games, some of which sadly never got finished like this JRPG game called Incunabula

[@chartle1]

Oh I remember Christmases Long Long Ago when a simple screen saver with animations and Xmas music would be the talk of the office. :)

[@tommiedewaal]

Man I love this time of year, puts a big smile on my face when "Christmaaaas" stunt double comes into play. On point thanks so much for the free smiles

[@pikefolsom6061]

Ive been watching this guys content for years I love this kind of stuff this channel even inspired me to go out a search for parts to make my dos /windows 98 machine comprised of 256 mb sd ram a amd k6-2 sound blaster and 30gbs of hard-disk storage.

[@newtom80]

That is exactly the kind of review we watch LGR for! Thank you!

[@darkmage07070777]

Christmas with LGR has become a favorite point of the year for me, and I find myself looking forward to it with the same glee a child might have for Santa.

[@CoTeCiOtm]

I'm not even kidding, Christmas LGR is one of the things I look forward the most during the year!

[@SgtAbramovich]

The lore of this game is straight up a furry fantasy.

[@WingMaster562]

Sounds like an RPG.

[@Acre00]

Not enough fox morphs for that :p

[@CantankerousDave]

Hah, you should see the work Eric Schwartz did on the Amiga back in the early 90s.

[@AzrialAlaria]

I suppose...

[@anew742]

Eric Schwartz did stuff for the Amiga? How did I not know that?!

[@wjab01]

I love everything about your Christmas videos from the very beginning. Pure undiluted love. I found your channel by chance YEARS ago looking for reviews of old 8-Bit micro Christmas games and stuck around ever since.

[@qbradq]

Christmas is really hard for me. The LGR Christmas videos always put a smile on my face. You kill me in that hat. I watch your Christmas videos when I need to give myself permission to enjoy the holiday. Thank you.

[@HattmannenNilsson]

I had no idea that there was an x-mas shareware episode to this game. Back in the day at some point I had the great fortune of buying a computer magazine which had Interpose included on a CD-ROM on the cover. To this day it's probably one of the most enjoyable shmups I've played. Not to mention beautiful. And that lovely synthpop title tune is still in my head. Oh, and good to see that the Christmas clone is back. The last season of the Christmas Clone Saga sort of ended on a bit of a cliff-hanger. :-)

[@TwoBlackMarks]

It came out with the Norwegian magazine Tekno, but if you are Swedish maybe it came out with PC Gamer? I do not think Tekno was in Sweden? I remember I read some Swedish PC Magazines sometimes, but not the names of them.

[@joelferguson6599]

"Atnas Sualc" as soon as you said it I was having flashbacks of Twin Peaks. Perfectly executed

[@TwoBlackMarks]

I remember this game came out. It also came out as a bonus with a Norwegian PC Magazine called "Tekno" at one point, that`s where I got it from. The "Demo Scene" was quite big in Norway back in the day, I think it still is relative active too.

[@RacATheFurious]

When I hear your intro for those christmas episodes I feel some unexplainable joy :) As if I was 10 again and waiting for christmass eve, santa, and presents...

[@sexycavetroll2788]

I look forward to these Christmas videos every year. I still go back and watch the old ones too. old video games kick in the nostalgia and often Christmas is so highly cherished because of the nostalgia of childhood so for me, this stuff goes hand in hand

[@Yaspis]

Clint, the production value on this thing is off the banana and I'm sore KZbin got me the notification for this thing like two days after the fact! Absolutely brilliant work with all the references, prop work, staging, camera angles... I'm not a Christmassy person at all, and my holiday spirit's mostly found in the bottle and playing Jazz Jackrabbit Holiday Hare in dirty pajamas, but this was so whimsical and fun and well made it's kidnapped me right into Seasonal Cheer Town. Damn you, Clint Balls-of-Steel!

[@BestFf14Player]

LGR Holidays are the best kind.

[@Hinckley77]

Man, I don't know what exactly it is but Clint you have a unique talent in terms of how you shoot, edit, and generally produce these videos. Draws me in and keeps me interested almost regardless of topic. Good stuff, keep it up.

[@Allovimo]

Your dedication to this bit really and truly adds to my Christmas joy every single year. I look forward to it, and I often go back and watch the episodes featuring Christmas Clint because he makes me feel jolly. Thank you, and Merry Christmas!

[@BirbPrincessJay]

These Christmas LGR videos always seem to have a magical charm to them. I’m always happy to see a new one. :)

[@MichaelJGardner737]

OMG, I had this game lol. Talk about memories...Thanks for the warm fuzzy feelings LGR. Keep up the awesome video & a return to my childhood.

[@makaylaserniotti1474]

Christmas LGR brings me so much joy

[@koivix]

Keep up the incredible work, it brings a special smile to my face when i see a new LGR upload, especially during the Christmas season!

[@slashtiger1]

Great Video! I _LOVE_ how you actually went to the effort of playing back 'Santa Claus' in reverse because that's what the games main enemy is called! Keep up the good stuff!

[@TheSam9sam]

the christmas lgr theme is easily one of my favorites throughout the whole 10 years.

[@5Stringslinger]

Thank you. You made me very happy with that Christmas special again. Still fun to see.

[@Louie_The_Dago]

Jeez, it’s already been a year? LGR christmas episodes have become part of my x-mas seasonal things now for the past 7 years

[@KimHarderFog]

The Christmas Clone is simply the best thing to happen to this channel :D

[@alextirrellRI]

Now since your CRT filming video I can't help but notice how wonderful that CRT looks on camera!

[@MDK-fo7jw]

Damn son, that cheetah/Lynx/Generic Cat Person is THICCC

[@scotchbox]

This really want me to see LGR cover Apogee's Raptor properly - it got a brief mention in the GOG collection, but from its beautiful design, fun gameplay and even more fun shop mechanic I think you'd really like it. Plus perhaps you could figure out why occasionally monkeys would throw poop at me in that game.

[@Enjoji101]

Christmas Clone Clint!! I love him so much , lol!! These Chrimbo vids make my year, they truly do; a time honored tradition! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and here's to more LGR in 2020!!

[@Sentarry]

LGR Christmas Clone will never get old. I love him.

[@SpAMCAN]

I'm so glad the Christmas episodes are keeping the old intro. The whole thing makes me feel fuzzy every year c:

[@lollandster]

Instant nostalgia when saw the thumbnail. But then again I'm Norwegian so of course I played the Interpose shareware.

[@thundreturtle]

Duude now I'm nostalgic about this chanells old videos :D. I loved the new respin of the old intro.

[@bananachild1936]

This game really reminds me of another horizontal Shmup title called *"Platypus".* Had a lotta nostalgia for that game. It's got this really wonderful clay-doh art style to it and it was so much fun to play. Heck, I bet it still as much fun as it was even today.

[@Schming]

I LOVE the christmas clone. Really needed that after a long day. Never stop bringing him back please.

[@martin1b]

Always a great time of year when Christmas Clint returns. Techno Freak was a great little demo back in the demoscene days. Glad to see those guys went on to make some great games.

[@Ba1k3n]

Love your content as always, Christmas in particular is always a treat due to Christmas Clint. Glad to see he's still kicking around.

[@stevencarlson5422]

Ah it just wouldn’t be December without you and the clone I just love it

[@sandakureva]

Nobody: Shareware publishers: Kajiit has warez if you have coin.

[@GeddyRC]

I don’t know how you do it, but somehow within 5 seconds of watching your videos, I feel like I’m back in the 90s. Especially the Christmas episodes, I look forward to them more than actual Christmas lol

[@IRWPD]

Look forward to the Christmas episodes every year. Never disappointed.

[@tylorwendt5623]

Your Christmas intro is always a little silly, but I love your channel. I've been watching regularly for a few years now. And that's quite a bit for me.

[@keiyakins]

Christmas Clint! :D Between him and Ashens and Dan doing Advent calendars I really is the season :3

[@TesseractE]

Holy crap, I can't believe I forgot about Interpose! I loved this alongside Raptor and Tyrian!

[@jansenart0]

Clint, yours is the only holiday cheer about which I give a damn. You're my Santa.

[@AmyraCarter]

Happy Yule, Clint. May the snows be bountiful, but merciful.

[@ElaineLoyd]

Christmas season does not start until the first LGR review. I love these.

[@deboladonna]

Oh, Webfoot... So nostalgic. As a kid, I played D.R.O.D. a lot at my aunt's house. It has this demoscene feel too. Delightful

[@thegenerousdegenerate9395]

These truly are a stroke of brilliance. He not only gets to act like the Christmas loving moronic inner child in all of us but also simultaneously gets to express the worn out christmas hating adult grinch we all also share. What a great outlet, vicariously enjoyable to watch and well produced to boot! Thank you for this! Merry xmas ya big dumb clone!

[@natesloungee]

Loved the video, haha! I noticed in the beginning of the video your calendar changing from November to December, it made me laugh x3

[@awilfox]

3D Frog Frenzy. I knew I recognised that Webfoot logo! That was on a shovel ware collection sold at Target ca 2001.

[@NiGHTSaturn]

This is giving me classic LGR vibes. And I LOVE IT. Thank you Clint!

[@samvigil1535]

The Plumb bob just opened up a whole new side to this Clone Saga, cant wait to see how this plays out Christmas LGR is what I live for!

😀😀😀great video! The clone is back, Clint saying "lazy games review" is in, this just feels so good 😀

[@KombatGod]
