How did this game get developed without us knowing??

It's no GPL. Frankly, the all-important shoe model feels prehistoric and the low speed handling reflects that. Mr. Sylvestre

Oh god... Is the control method "button mashing"??? Anyone ever play "decathalon" for Atari 2600? This is gonna be taken the wrong way, but you have to move the joystick back and fourth as fast as possible to run. There's a 100M sprint, hurdles (hit the button to jump), a bunch of other games, and a 4000M run that goes into sprint mode for the final 200M. Crazy...

I remember one for the C64 called "Caveman Ugglympics" or something. Basically the same thing, but you had events like "fire starting" and "wife throwing". They also had one I remember as "Sex Games" that was hilarious, if somewhat less professionally produced. On a more serious tangent: aside from some really BAD things I have seen at the gym, have there been any games that are somehow controlled by level of physical effort and/or rhythm. If you could make a compelling fighting game that somehow interfaced with something like a powerball <http://www.powerballs.com>, maybe by wireless usb...

Never had an Atari... but it sound much like the "decathalon" first played on the PC back in '83 or '84.. "Bruce Jenner's decathalon" or something like that I think it was called... (not "Bruce Jenner's World Class decathalon" that was released in '96 or so...) Man what a keyboard killer.... 4-5 of us used to compete against each other... all bashing up the keyboard on that poor little Olivetti M24... A wonder that little 8mhz 8086 CPU could take it :-) Ohhh the memories :o) -- ed_

No but you do get to drive a taxi for part of it Jews don't recognize Jesus. Protestants don't recognize the Pope. Fundamentalists don't recognize each other in porn shops.
