Comrade Hobbes forwards :the game: to me. “It’s not as clever as it thinks,” says Hobbes, ” but it’s cute enough”. And he’s not wrong. :the game: is a series of videogame jokes, which aren’t as clever as it thinks it is, but are pretty cute. You can play it here.

Wow, bit of a blast from the past there. There’s also a sequel out these days, if you’re interested

Saying it’s not as clever as it thinks it is ruined this game for me. I couldn’t stop thinking about that while playing.

Dear all flash games.
Include a volume control or I hate you.
thanks….
26/08/2010 at 16:07 CMaster says:
That’s actually pretty damn hard to do. Be nice if Adobe just added a mute option and volume control to the flash player, really.
26/08/2010 at 16:46 DrGonzo says:
God yes. If Adobe added fullscreen, mute and volume control I would be very happy.
26/08/2010 at 17:01 Garg says:
And the ability to right click without bringing up the stupid menu.
27/08/2010 at 17:49 Berzee says:
Easy if you use flixel. :P

One of the greatest flash game ever, on teh top with desktop tower defence, the unicorns one and probably some version of that puzzle game.
26/08/2010 at 19:41 Dhatz says:
desktop tower defense is wesome indeed. masness combat deffense has some intense gameplay too.
26/08/2010 at 16:13 Brulleks says:
Okay, that makes Vanitas look positively astute.

Taking the title’s advice. I hate it.
26/08/2010 at 16:49 Koozer says:
Well the music is nice.
26/08/2010 at 17:06 WiPa says:
Oldest game ever. And one of the worst.

That’s where I got to too…
Nice idea, but life’s too short.

Waitaminute. Hasn’t this been posted here before?
I’ve played it ages ago and RPS is the only place I can think of who would have sent me it.
26/08/2010 at 18:01 Fede says:
Yeah, I thought the same. But better post twice than not post at all :)
26/08/2010 at 18:15 Calabi says:
I like it and I laughed, a bit, at some.
26/08/2010 at 18:20 Davie says:
Played it about a year ago. I thought it was pretty clever. Certainly entertaining, if not quite the stunning social commentary it makes itself out to be.
26/08/2010 at 18:25 Skinlo says:
Its ok, I got bored and left on the ‘get to the top’ bit.
26/08/2010 at 18:31 Rod Humble says:
My 8 year old son and his friends introduced this to me a month or so ago as it was all the rage at school.
This makes me and RPS officially part of the “by the time the old fogeys know about it, its not cool any more” crowd. 8(
26/08/2010 at 18:41 bhlaab says:
If it has the awesome face in it, it was never cool
26/08/2010 at 19:10 GHudston says:
It’s ok. I played it almost 2 years ago when it first surfaced on Newgrounds. I’ll try my best to keep RPS afloat in the sea of cool. 8D

I just lost The Game :(

Came here to link this. The sequel was definitely amazing. The original was fun too but the second one was just that much better.
27/08/2010 at 00:04 Duck says:
Wow, it’s really, really, really old in here, I’m going to freeze to death.
27/08/2010 at 14:14 Gazbomb says:
It may not be as clever as it thinks, but it was created by a 14 year old kid. Which I think is pretty clever. :)
29/08/2010 at 04:13 Wolfox says:
Surprisingly enough, I liked it. Laughed a few times.
That said, I’ll never “play” it again. :-D
