I bought this game, on a CD-ROM. It’s a ridiculous spoof of Regis’ game. The animated host is named Egregious Fillin. The format (like the questions and answers, which are authentic) matches that on WWTBAM; the difference is that instead of winning money, you get to attack a millionaire. The arrow keys and the Shift key are for you to “beat up” on the millionaire with. As with WWTBAM, you lose if you get just one answer wrong; if you win, you ‘drive the millionaire you choose to the poorhouse.’ Please comment on this game or any other delightful ones you’ve played on computer… ---

I’m currently replaying “Sacrifice,” choosing a different route through the game, and it’s just as great as the first time. Bouncy graphics, gore, and it’s even got Earthworm Jim! How can you lose? ---

A few of the house favorites **NFK** **Santa’s Gone Postal** Rather like a hunting simulation untill you get to shooting up the North Pole.Nothing is as satisfing as taking the head off an Elf. **Desktop Destroy II** is wonderfull when you put up a map of Afghanastan before running it. So fun it still has a Shortcut on our desktop titled “Taliban Chickens” An old favorite I still rant and rave about is **You Don’t Know Jack**. I know it’s rather old, but the Smartass host is a killer. And at those moments when I’m being blonde, I still hear a vice in the back of my head saying **No matter how much money you win. Remember, You don’t know Jack"** On my old Sega Genesis,Which is still in working condition. I still play the hell out of **Toe Jam & Earl** The “Random” mode keeps the boards changing, so they are never the same.And it is fun getting revenge on those damn present stealing moles by lobbing tomatoes.And over the years I have gotten plenty of giggles from the “Rap” mode. ---

I have **X-Fools** which is pretty funny. It’s supposed to have a trial version of **Pyst** on it, but I haven’t played that yet. ---

**Deer Avenger**. “Goodbye Bambi, hello Bambo!” My favorite lures:[ul][li]“Viagra! Getcher Viagra here!”[/li][li](Female voice) “Help! I’m naked–and I have a pizza!”[/li][/ul]
