Nice puzzle!

I was getting a dark Italian vibe.
Also looks very late 70s/early 80s.
Presumably it's Dario Argento... doesn't look like any I've seen though - not enough saturated colors!
I'll guess Inferno.

A spider bite?

McRibs?
Or heart beats?

Oddly enough M*A*S*H is the right answer!

Oxygen molecules?

Doom on whatever underpowered ancient system

Am I that predictable?
It's not Doom, although it is an ancient underpowered system, and the name of the game is four letters.

It's not Fun Room. (Whatever that is! )

Based on the blurred title and the gameplay (since it looks like Tempest).
I have not seen the documentary

High Sierra?

Polybius?

And this doesn't require outside knowledge?
Seems like a world history quiz/puzzle crossover given the last line...
(I like the format!)

something about the phrase 'just joking and smiling' seemed a bit off and I knew the words must have been chosen for a reason other than their meaning as a sentence. That's what led me to find the solution.

Yes, that was the chink in the puzzle's armour for me too!
Now, let's have another!

Initially, I didn't get the riddle either...

I dare not reveal the answer for fear of angering the Mandle

The names Jane and Mike were not randomly chosen.
