Bad Day on the Midway is a CD-ROM game written and directed by The Residents, animated and designed by Jim Ludtke, developed and published by Inscape. The game takes place in the titular Midway where the player first takes control of Timmy, an easily-amused 10-year-old boy, but is soon able to switch perspective and control to a number of different characters as they navigate through the fair. The goal isn't made very clear, as the game is considered first and foremost to be more of an interactive narrative and visual experience, but there are various ways to die during gameplay, and multiple endings can be achieved depending on which characters are left alive at the end of one in-game day.

  • Bad Day on the Midway is a CD-ROM game written and directed by The Residents, animated and designed by Jim Ludtke, developed and published by Inscape. The game takes place in the titular Midway where the player first takes control of Timmy, an easily-amused 10-year-old boy, but is soon able to switch perspective and control to a number of different characters as they navigate through the fair. The goal isn't made very clear, as the game is considered first and foremost to be more of an interactive narrative and visual experience, but there are various ways to die during gameplay, and multiple endings can be achieved depending on which characters are left alive at the end of one in-game day. The character Timmy was later brought back in a series of short videos by the Residents in 2006. In 2012, a novel was published based on the game's story, along with a CD of "reconsidered" music from the game's soundtrack. The game was optioned by Ron Howard at Imagine Television for a proposed series to be directed by David Lynch. After two years of meetings with Lynch, the project was dropped because a script was never agreed upon. Had the project moved forward, The Residents would not have been creatively involved as their contract only gave them consulting roles in the pilot. (en)

  • Bad Day on the Midway (рус. Черный день в парке аттракционов) — компьютерная игра, дизайном и разработкой которой занималась группа The Residents, а также некоторые другие художники, включая Джима Ладки (англ. Jim Ludtke). Игра одержала победу в премии «Macrovision International User Conference Award» 1995 года в двух номинациях — «Лучший развлекательный продукт» и «Самое инновационное использование мультимедиа». Рон Ховард с Imagine Television собирался сделать на основе игры сериал, режиссёром которого стал бы Дэвид Линч. После двух лет встреч с Линчем проект был брошен: сценарий так никогда и не был согласован, к тому же режиссёр не смог объединить изначальный концепт игры с собственными идеями так, чтобы его это устраивало, и вскоре взялся за другой проект — Малхолланд Драйв. Если бы сериал на основе Bad Day on the Midway всё же вышел, группа The Residents не принимала бы в нём никакого творческого участия, поскольку контракт давал им право лишь на консультирующие роли в пилотной серии. Один из персонажей игры, мальчик по имени Тимми, в 2006 году вернулся в интернет — мини-сериале, сделанном группой The Residents. Существует неофициальный перевод игры на русский язык. (ru)
