Take Your Best Shot
Take your Best Shot is a collection of Windows goodies and games based on the
animations of Bill Plympton. The subtitle promises “Twisted Arcade Games for
Twisted Minds”. In truth, the three games included are rather crude
adaptations of Breakout, Pong and Baseball.
The main attraction is an interactive version of the dispute between the two
cartoon characters Joe and his Boss. Both humiliate each other with bizarre
weaponry. For example, Joe blows his Boss’ head off with a cannon; his
superior takes his revenge in working Joe’s head with a lawnmower. You may
choose the type of assault.
Additional material on the CD includes a couple of uninspired “flying heads”
screensavers, nice desktop wallpapers and a collection of icons and sound
samples.
All of the animation in Take Your Best Shot is taken from the animated short
film Push Comes To Shove (1991). The program contains no further, let alone
new art. More information on Bill Plympton can be found in the trivia and
links sections.
