Bush Tucker Man By Chris Young, inspired by the TV programme (although I must admit to not actually having seen it myself) of the same name. The title says it all really: you take the role of the Bush Tucker Man (who, according to Duncan MacDonald, is the only person able to make a helicoptor out of koala droppings). This is a sort of "pre-release demo" of the full Bush Tucker Man game out later this week (if I can be bothered to start it - I'm writing this on a Thursday night, by the way, so that gives me about 2 days to write it. Should be long enough. It'll be crap anyway. On purpose, of course. I'll probably write it in Hisoft BASIC, which automatically makes it rubbish - well, version 1 does anyway [I don't want to slag version 2 off, having not actually used it].). Anyway, this game involves the bit where Les crosses a river full of crocs. All you have to do is repeatedly hit EXE to cross the river - WILL YOU SURVIVE? OR DIE A NASTY DEATH IN THE TEETH OF A CROCODILE? The full game will be a bit like "Frogger", where you have to cross a river full of crocs (instead of a busy road. I never understood why a frog would want to cross a busy road anyway). Instead of using logs to cross a river, you will, erm, actually, I haven't got a clue what the rest of the game will be, but it'll be good anyway (in a crap sort of way).
