Description	Joystick-waggling stuntman simulator with increasingly difficult bus-jumping challenges, all in a single line of BASIC (I can only assume DP didn't think this game was worthy of the Oneliner contest)
Comments	Evel Knievel One-Liner Bus Jumping is billed as a "mini-homage to the stuntman," mini being the operative word - coded in just one line of (incomprehensible) BASIC, the game sees you trying to jump over increasing numbers of red buses, which is achieved by basically bashing random keys of your choice - the concept behind it is pretty good, but the implementation is crap - random keys? See what we did there? The review above was only one line.

Comments	Man, this is one of the worst games I've ever played - and I've played Rise Of The Robots. Quest For The Golden Egg is effectively an attempt to locate an egg based on a set of X,Y coordinates - it wants to be an arcade/RPG adventure, but it would be more at home on an Excel Spreadsheet. It could work as a text adventure, but, erm, it isn't one. Play at your peril. The instructions state, "Here the real enemy is existensial despair." You'll face this just by typing LOAD"". You have been warned.
