## Description
In an adaptation certainly _not_ endorsed by PBS, this game puts the player in
the shoes of a sociopathic Beavis and Butthead-style radical stoner anarchist
(of the ~1992 variety), hepped up on H/P/A t-files and prepared to vent his
disgust at all the problems of the world on one moronic purple dinosaur and
the other participants on his show, through doping with narcotics to sabotage
and booby-traps to, most of all, cartoonishly stylized (more Bakshi than WB)
and couldn’t-care typo-ridden ultraviolence.
The game plays almost as a multiple-choice test on the Jolly Roger’s Cookbook,
with player input restricted to selecting from a psychedelically-coloured text
list how he or she intends to ruin various innocuous activities associated
with the show, such as snack time (by injecting the orange with vodka,
perhaps?), singing a song together (while substituting in obscene new lines)
or visiting the zoo (and selling kids into slavery or feeding Baby Bop to an
alligator while there.) (While taking the kids to a GWAR concert is undeniably
subversive, it does strain the suspension of disbelief.)
The player is given regular status reports on the current state (of health and
sobriety) of all the kids on the show; the ultimate goal is to render the
entire cast unfit to perform further by the end of a week’s worth of
infiltrated episodes, following which the player may get to gather huge bonus
points in an endgame sequence where Barney is fought to the death in a
shopping mall.
Though the gameplay is single-player, as a BBS door game callers would compete
with each other for showings on the high-score table; in later versions of the
software, dedicated fans were also granted the opportunity to submit scripted
modules consisting of new, further deranged anti-social activities to run the
kids through.
