Title: Kraang -> Umgah? Post by: danzibr on July 17, 2016, 08:35:25 pm I'm watching TMNT with my children, and I got to thinking... Umgah look a lot like Kraang.
Anyone else notice similarities like this? Just a quick check in my head doesn't result in anything. Title: Re: Kraang -> Umgah? Post by: Krulle on July 18, 2016, 09:31:56 am I had to look it up.
But yes. there is a certain similarity.

Post by: Death 999 on July 18, 2016, 04:13:11 pm Krang is far more anthropomorphic. They both draw on the classic 'brain in a vat' idea, drawn in the direction of 'freestanding brain-being'.
Title: Re: Kraang -> Umgah? Post by: Jugger on July 18, 2016, 11:16:50 pm Also very similar are the Spemin from the old game Starflight (http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/starflight-series), released in 1986 (1) and 1989 (2).

By the way, Star Control was inspired by this game and has a lot of marked similarities to Starflight. |
