Ten Video Games We Can Do Without

Steven West
Video game playing is becoming one of America's favorite pastime. We spend a lot of money buying the newest and most exciting games. Here is a list of game titles that I hope I never see.

1. Donkeys versus Elephants. Blood fighting on a political scale.

2. Tamoborine Heroes. This is a budget buyers delight.

3. Mario in Barney's World. Mario enters Barney the Dinosaur's active imagination.

4. Clown Car Rally. Watch a bunch of miniature cars filled with clowns race around an oval track. Obstacles include giant seltzer bottles and whoopie cushions.

5. Dawn of the Bread. Zombies with heads in the shape of bread slices terrorize Baker's Square. No loafing around in this game.

6. Park Rangers from Hell. Another scary game from the makers of Aw Full Inc. Watch out for bosses like Yogi the Bear and Smokey the Bear. Also, be wary of the ninja chipmunks.

7. Wimps and Shrimps. Can the Wimps evade the Killer Shrimps? Can the Wimps save the Queen of the Nerds? Can you play this game without falling asleep after the first level?

8. Impossible. This game is so hard that you can't get past the first stage. Actually, this game only has two stages. Trust me, those little blocks of diamonds, emeralds, horseshoes, and hotdogs can really drive you crazy. Warning: This game can lead to severe withdrawal and crushed fingernails.

9. Lotta Luck. Everything about this game depends upon luck. There is no skill involved. Just shoot the ball by pressing the X button and watch the score mount up. You don't have to even use the flippers. Great for players who suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome.

10. Marriage and Divorce. Role playing game with some vicious twists. Includes infidelity, mistresses, and greedy, scumbag lawyers. Can you survive the wheel of alimony?
