That game is so weird. Why anyone would want a sequel...I just won't understand some things, I guess.

I found the Taurus and the Ursa levels to be the funniest and at the same time most frustrating in the game. All I can say is, I hate those floating Bear signs and those Cow traffic cones.

Its more fun if you have spectators, as they can see (and call out..."Ha! You picked up a cow!") all the wacky things you pick up, which you tend to miss as you are busy trying to control where the silly thing goes.

The funniest part of the game was the first time started to collect office buildings; the caucaphony of all the people screaming and telephones ringing will get your first-time spectator laughing.
