is wario ware not the most fucking insanely postmodern game ever released in the west? is it not? I love it! I finally get to thread a needle, eat an apple, walk through a door, apply eye drops, judo-chop a board in two, ski down a slope, do a cannonball onto a raft, play five seconds of zelda, poke a cat, shake a dog's paw, and two hundred other really obscure games, most of which I've never seen before, all in 8-bit. I'm telling you it's more addictive than crack.
 
It's a fecking fantastic game. When you try to explain it to people they just don't get it, but I don't know anyone that hasn't been addicted within 30 seconds of playing it. Honestly, you get to suck a snot drip back up into a girl's nose, who wouldn't enjoy that?

The paper airplane game is pretty cool.
 
I don't know it - is it a bit like Mario Party?

And what's so postmodern about it?

Cheers, Martin
 
The game consists of 30 second minigames and no instructions. You have to complete a certain number of the minigames in a row on a set number of lives to complete the levels. The games are loosely themed, but there's no real connection from one to the next.

So you might start off with a hotdog and Wario's head moving along from side to side, and you need to work out what you're supposed to be doing, how you're supposed to do it and get it done in 30 seconds, or you lose a life. Then on to the next level. There's a girl with a snot drip hanging from her nose. Again, you need to work out what you do, how to do it and then get it done very quickly. Then there's just an apple on the screen. And the whole game is filled with these incredibly random, incredibly fast games.

It's fantastic. If you don't own a GBA I'd recommend buying one on the basis of this game alone. It makes no sense whatsoever and I absolutely adore it.
 
martin,

more so than not. it's more like an ecstacy trip on a spaceship ride wrapped up and nestled in a box of wormholes transporting you way back to 1983 when video games looked like electric graphic legos.
 
I have a GameCube - do they have it on that, because it sounds brilliant!! It's called Wario Ware?

Cheers, Martin
