10 Video Games That Were SAVED From Destruction
3. Plumbers Don't Wear Ties
If the other games on this list are akin to precious relics recovered by the dashing lead in a Hollywood blockbuster, then Plumbers Don't Wear Ties is the ancient evil unleashed by the doomed extras.
Plumbers Don't Wear Ties is an abysmally written and acted softcore pornography movie masquerading as a game. Of all the FMV dross that littered bargain bins in the nineties, this was the unquestioned nadir - a game so lazy its developers couldn't even be bothered making it a proper FMV, instead releasing it as a glorified PowerPoint where the player occasionally chooses which slide comes next.
Unsurprisingly, the game sank without a trace and that was the end of it. Until, that is, the game caught the attention of a certain reddit user called psychoticgiraffe (possibly not their real name).
As explained by PC Gamer, the lunatic quadruped managed to find possibly the only copy of the game still in circulation when he hit upon the idea of searching for PDWT's system requirements, rather than the game itself. Following this rabbit hole led him to the library of Ball State University, which inexplicably had a copy of the game in its possession.
After asking another redditor to check out the game and mail it to him, psychoticgiraffe received the CD and uploaded the files to the internet where any gaming masochist can download it.
