Here is an even shorter game I wrote for Crash! (Spectrum Magazine) back in the 80's, as a tribute to their pages and pages of text which you would copy out hoping it would be a cool game...

1 print "Syntax Error"
2 goto 1

and now, exclusivly for this forum, the all new DBPro version!

start:
print "Syntax Error"
goto start

lol ahh the good old days

Dragon's Lair was the first Laser Disc game, in the 80s. It couldn't be the shortest game because it was actually quite long - it took about 2 hours to complete. Trouble was you basically just watched a pre recorded cartoon, and pressed a random button every now and again - no real control or interaction. Sequels included Space Ace and Brain Dead 13, which contained slightly more interaction but were basically more of the same.

The animations were great, made by Don Bluth productions of Land Before Time and American Tail fame (plus also used to work for Disney) - but the games themselves stank! They got a re-release with the advent of CD rom, with Versions For Sega Mega-CD, Philips CDi and Amiga CD32. All 3 systems failed, probably cos rubbish games like these were released on them! The games later came out for MSDOS/6 PC, and even later got released as DVD's playable on a standard DVD player, PC or PS2.

They. Were. Poo.

My french isn't as hot as it should be - but, to follow is "suivez" right? So "I'm following John, but I'm not John" should be "Je suis John, mais je ne suis pas John" - Which literally translated back into English means "I AM John, but I'm NOT John"...

Is that why its funny? Do I win a prize?
