tSoM and video games

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

tSoM site goes to a page spoofing Infocom games, and in the site Andrew also discusses his love of their textual adventures.

Anyone know of any other gaming links with tSoM?

I know the team at Odin Computer Graphics produced a game called Heartland with a character called Eldritch for the Sinclair Spectrum back in 1986; and I read in several places that they were huge tSoM fans.

I also recently heard Dominion on the radio in Grand Theft Auto IV by Rockstar Games.

Ironically (or maybe not? ;)), the subject of that page popped up on Dominion not so long ago... :lol:

Several levels of Lemmings have Sisters songs as titles.


Not TSOM, but...

the player character - and hence the title - for PS2 game Red Dead Revolver comes from Nick Cave's "Red Right Hand".

I am sure The Sisters would be in a game called Goth Band, along with The Cult et al.

Would be great!
