Thanks a lot ShoEboX, for bringing up unpleasant memories of the Captain Novolin game for the SNES.

Surprisingly, there are few game ideas that don’t go unpublished. We’ve had fishing games (too many to count, but Bass Fishing and River King stand out for me), farming simulators (Harvest Moon), Ant Farm simulators (SimAnt), Hide-and-Go-Seek (Sneak King), even crappy ATARI bartender games. If you can think it, someone’s probably played it!

@Ptharien: Thanks for the search terms – I suspected the same, but I didn’t try looking at first. And beyond that, I’ll keep just quiet on this subject.

@Jorpho: I think you mean “isn’t it high time we had a new contest?”

Ptharien -

…Wow, I’d completely forgotten about that. Maybe if we’re really quiet, nobody else will notice.

I wonder what the “default chunks” are for this edition?

I remember having an Atari 2600 party one time where someone had a big box of games, which thanks to the terrible quality control that ultimately did in the Atari included some crazy stuff. The best title on a cartridge was “Teeth Brush.”

Alas, the Teeth Brush cartridge was either broken or just not compatible with the Atari we had, so we could only dream what it would be like to play Teeth Brush. But the name lives on.

SO GREAT. I like that it made fun of the art too, but in a subtle way.. you look at the screen and go ‘oh THAT’s what it is’

The Lost in the Dark death sounds like it beats getting eaten by a Grue by a country mile.
