Funding provided by the City of Melbourne…

Oh my, my, my.

This is just amazing. There are so many layers of references, videogame and otherwise. I can barely keep up. I’m giggling insanely; I can’t help it, the giddy glee of it all! This makes me feel like I’m twelve years old. In all these ponderings of video game violence and children and the role of violent play, it’s easy to forget just how ridiculously, laughably enjoyable a spot of cartoony videogame ultraviolence can be.

Also, Walter Sobchak special attack = the greatest idea for anything ever. I dearly hope someone takes these assets and actually makes this game.

And - wait for it - funding provided by the city of Melbourne something-something council for the arts. Oh, Melbourne, you give us so much.

    I remember playing this for one of my classes up on the projector. It was a blast…until a tour group of young impressionables walked by. I believe their jaws are still on the third floor.
    If you’d like your own handy-dandy offline copy, I put one in the Mac to PC shared folder as “Cabana Baby”.

    I would in a heartbeat. This is the seemingly final evolution of River City Ransom. I dare anyone to do better.

    http://probertson.livejournal. com/ That is the man who did it. Funny that he does advance games, but doesn’t do this one. It would be the greatest advance game ever. Swink! Where is your email? No way to contact you?
