Wednesday Workshop #025 (30 Nov 2005) The Useless Challenge In the spirit of useless seasonal gifts, this week's challenge is to create a game that LOOKS like it could be really interesting. Something that shouts out "Buy Me" from the store shelf. Something your Gran would pick up, and find instantly amusing, but which ultimately turns out to be a rather dull experience after about 5 seconds.
