YouTube gamefoolery


To play the Grand Theft Auto and FIFA-type games these days, you need to have genetically modified hands with eighteen fingers.  At least.  And then you need to be one of those lucky people with a few extra eyeballs, to keep track of everything that's happening on-screen.

Now, in the first interactive YouTube game, that gameplay complexity has been pushed to a whole new level of rock-hardness. Have a go, but be warned. You're unlikely to be ready or to cope.  Your fingers are going to bleed with the speed that you need:


(you may need to double-click to play it, within YouTube)

Actually, it's quite charming really.  If that doesn't sound too patronising.  Do you know what patronising means?

Anyway, here's a significantly more surreal interactive YouTube game, that's closer in spirit to the breakthrough classic Dragon's Lair that I wasted all my pocket money on back in 1927.
