You play a dockworker (named Mario, presumably), who is being maliciously attacked by evil stevedores, who seem to gain a sick kind of pleasure from their attempts to crush the happy-go-lucky, cigarette-smoking Mario with shipping containers. Mario has to drop the shipping containers into holding areas below him before he gets crushed by them. Too many shipping containers results in Mario being transformed into what I like to call a "Jesus Cube", which consists of a highly compacted Mario with a cross embedded in his forehead. Ballshooter will be releasing a demo shortly, and is currently accepting beta testers. If you're interested, visit their site and drop them a line.

That has to be one of the strangest ideas for a game I've seen in a while...but then again, I've seen some pretty strange games in my lifetime, and also, if it kills time for the ever-so-bored person, I suppose its mission to satisfy will be easily accomplished.

If memory serves me correcly, this is a rehash of the 'classic' Atari Lynx game; KLAX.

A darn fine game 8)

I think it'd be MUCH more interesting if he was being maliciously attacked by evil STEVDORs!!! (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=119329&highlight=stevdor#119329)"Mario was laid waste to burnination!"

That's what it's looking like to me.

KLAX always was a favorite of mine.

btw...KLAX started out as an arcade game and was ported to several game systems. The Lynx version was the best IMHO. :mrgreen:

*edit* The NES version from Tengen rocked too. :D

That's exactly what I was thinking. :lol:

Something like this, perhaps? :mrgreen:

Can Mario, a dockworker in short pants save himself from the evil shipping crates? :D

Buy Mario a cold one--what the?!?

:mrgreen: Ah, this is too much. I'll never look at this game the same way again!
