Confession time: I´ve never actually played Weird Dreams, only seen pictures of it in gamemagazines.

Ok, here is the next one:
I´m sure you´re all familiar with it.

Nope, it's a bit more obscure than that.

A lot, actually.

One of my all-time favorites! I got to thinking about it recently when I tried out the demo of Professor Fizzwizzle.

Guess I'll have to give you some hints:

- it's a DC/PS2/XBOX/GC generation console game, though I've also heard some rumors about a PC port
- the music was done by a very famous composer
- one of the controller buttons was designated to an action very unusual for a video game, but very common in real life

The top screenshot kinda looks like two slugs having sex in a pond or something. So I'm gonna go for a 'thrust' button.

It's probably not. I can't see the screenshots from my work so I made a wild guess from what I remember of the first screenshot.

It's not Frogger 2 and those slugs having sex are actually a single entity. And no, it's not having sex with itself.

So it's not a 'tug' button then. As for two slugs having sex, have you never watched crappy animal/wildlife documentaries on a lazy Sunday afternoon?

I've got no clue, never seen anything like this game before.

Seems like I've chosen a game that's just a bit too obscure.
Here's another screen and the last batch of hints. Now you should be able to google it out, even if you never played it.



- it's a game for the first major home console that came with a built-in modem
- the action I mentioned is "urinate" (look at the second screenshot)
- the acronym of the game's title (sometimes also written as a part of the title) is the same as one of the most popular net lingo acronyms, but the phrase it stands for is different
