Keep a-shuddering because the overhyped Zool is indeed the correct answer.

I can't believe I got that from those vague clues.

Hehe, I actually considered doing it *last go*, so it was fresh in my mind.

I guess that means a new game from me later.

Patience Duke, I will think of a game. It is getting harder and harder though.

Ok, Clue 1:

Text adventure game. A pinnacle of parody, at least to this 12 year old when I played it.

Yup. I knew I couldn't do this one without making it too easy or too hard, but I had to do it anyway.

It's shamelessly juvenile, but I played this game a year or so back on an emulator and it still kills me at 25.

BotR was a landmark in adventure gaming. The lampooning adventure (right up to modern day Lucasarts classics) was popularised with this game. A true classic.

Damn! Now I have to think of yet another.

1) - I remember wasting hours playing this racer on my Amiga. You had a choice of vehicles and could choose depending upon the courses, but it didn't make any difference if you didn't pick up the power-ups.

There is a really obvious answer to this, and I'd like to say now that it isn't that!
