The Feeble Files is a 1997 cartoony adventure game from Adventure Soft, creators of Simon the Sorcerer. Its half-serious, half-comical plot serves as a rich source of references and shout-outs to Blakes Seven, Star Wars, Nineteen Eighty-Four and many more.
The player's character is Feeble, an alien whose job is to make crop circles on Earth. He is fanatically loyal to the Obviously Evil totalitarian system of Omni Corporation, led by the central entity Omni Brain. However, one day, Feeble commits a terrible mistake, which puts him on the way to learn the truth about his society. Alongside fellow rebel Delores and robot SAM, he marches forward, liberating the galaxy.
The game provides examples of:[]
- Action Girl:Delores, though she doesn´t really do much, except of one shooting sequence, where she is assisted by the player.
- Ancient Astronauts:Interesting case where aliens (in this case Feeble´s brother Filbert) are playing gods to other (primitive) aliens.
- Cliché Storm/Troperiffic
- Shout-Out: Just as with Simon the Sorcerer, the game world is built on them, sometimes on multiple ones. For example, Company´s penal colony is named Cygnus Alpha and it looks roughly like Imperial Star Destroyer.
