Description	Back in the days before the telly was totally crap - the telly was well, partially crap, but you had to let someone else make you own entertainment back then. Just because we couldn't wire ourselves up to the global information network we would instead watch a great comedy legend attempt to catch invisible items in a bag. So the logical updating of this is to allow oursleves in the Internet era to become the comedic actor on our own personal digital stage. I managed to score -2 before grabbing the screenshot. Can you do any better than this? The ability to control computer software using only the power of your mind is a great advantage when playing this game.
Comments	A nice diversion I found this, after seemingly endless onslaught of previously reviewed pure-text entries and/or with Simulator in their title. Oops, I just noticed, this one also had Simulator in the title, still it has no lawnmowers in it, unless of course one of the things caught in the bag is an invisible model lawnmower. Anyway - the game is one which alludes to some distant popular culture of some years ago, and is completely impossible to?play?- so?another one for CGC purists. Sweet. The bag also makes me want to go out and drink a pint of Guinness, in fact more so than most of the currently unfathomable Guinness TV ads. Nice use of small font text driver, which was unexpected!
