Shirtless and alone In space with only a politically questionable arcade game to keep you occupied...

Sometimes you come across something that is so unexpected and unnecessary that you have trouble accepting the fact that it actually exists. "Bin Laden Basher"(from the Creative Engineering, Inc., the creators of Showbiz Pizza's Rock-A-Fire Explosion) is one of those things:

"We built one prototype of this unusual, politically motivated game in the tradition of "Wac-A-Mole". While we have no plans to go into production, we will sell the prototype to a collector of unique games."

I have so many questions.

How could the DS market possibly be in danger of an 'Atari Crash'?

"...actually, and again, and this is those whispering voices saying this, but you've started hearing the phrase "Atari crash" pretty frequently. People are talking about how the second "Atari crash" is around the corner. And Nintendo is the one that has to figure out a way to stop it."



"Nintendo put a lot of thought into the original, and ran some really cool commercials for it. But some of these companies just slap something together, put the word "brain" in the title, and release it. There are a ton of them, and barely any of them are interesting."
