That's hilarious. Kind of slow moving, though.

If your girlfriend is being held captive by a giant gorilla, and you have to pick up her hat, purse and umbrella while trying to rescue her in order to get "extra points", is she really worth the effort?

You sure can tell it isn't realistic!  If it was you would slow way down from how heavy the purse is!

I have been thoroughly enjoying Donkey Kong the gameboy recently, all the while wondering, "Ok, that's an umbrella. What on earth are the other things?"

Thanks for clearing that up ;)
Hey Dudes thanks, for rescuing me, lets go for a burger.... HA! HA! HA! HA!

ZooKeeper;

Because it's so much more efficient to round up free-running, dangerous, wild animals by jumping back and forth over them until a "magic" net appears!  :dunno

paperboy: toss the newspaper through the window? naw keep going... they'll never know. get that dog too.

beserk: how did the one human get surrounded by the evil robots in the first place?? okay forget that, lets go... oh and don't touch the walls they are poison (er something) lookie here a smiley face maybe he can help..... waaaaaait a minute....

Legend of the mystical ninja: okay in know this isn't arcade but hellooo stupidest weapons ever?? a yo-yo?? a "tobacco" pipe???  talk about bringing a knife to a gunfight!

various puzzle type action games (resident evil tomb raider etc) so we need a key to open the door... this same person who later punches a half ton boulder down a hill? why not kick down the door or shoot off the lock?? i have a huge sword can i not pry open this door instead?


various RPG's :  how may bottles of potion can i stuff into my impossibly large pocket. i can only carry 255 or some other ridiculously small amount of  gold pieces but can carry 99 bottles of potion? how can this ring boost my intelligence??? why can i only wear one? how stupid am i? don't i have 9 more fingers??? if i could wear 10 of these would i be smart enough to realize it's stupid to only wear one?

Why are gatekeepers leaving their keys lying around within vicinty of their locked doors? If you don't want anyone going in, keep the keys in your pockets!

When did anyone in TRON ever have a gun?

How did baby PacMan ever come about when Ms PacMan takes all those pills?
