Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends

I'm going to be really dating myself here, but I remember watching the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons on TV. That was before TV turned into a quagmire of insipid, brain-mushing political correctness that causes more damage to the human psyche than being put through 18 years of solitary confinement with only Mariah Carey records and Friends reruns for company. Looking back on them now, I see the underpinnings of socio-political commentary that supported the cartoon - the tension between east and west, the last remnants of the cold war. Or it could be that I listened to a little too much Pink Floyd at the time. Even then, we've got yet another example of what happens when video games are based on cartoons. One would think that video games would be a perfect base for video games. You have all the elements for a successful game - senseless violence, humor, pre-drawn characters. I'll admit that I only played this about 15 minutes (3,100 fucking games, dear sweet Jesus-humping Mary) but it just completely and utterly failed to provide any form of amusement. I considered dropping into The GIMP and adding random porn pictures to the screenshots, but that would require actual effort. I've got the porn, and I've got the screenshots, but in this case, Bullwinkle will just have do deal without being in the same frame as nipples.
