Comes with a 31-page hardcover booklet with instructions and a description of the characters. The game is based on a popular French puppet series portraying celebreties (there's also a German version of this show).

have you played it? does it require a DVC? what kind of game is it?

Yes, it needs DVC. I played it for a bit, it looks like you're playing a journalist in "world company" and you need to get higher in the company. The first parts seems like a point-and-click adventure in a drawn environment. Of course when you don't understand French, it's a bit pointless :).

Ack, I had to sit throught this thing at least a hundred times :lol:

It's fun if you like the TV series it's based on, bit like Spitting Image if you know that old show. Political satire, so you really need to know a bit of the background from back then to fully appreciate the clips. The Pulp Fiction spoof with Chirac as a mob killer wa hilarious.

The game itself was pretty straightforward, you needed to find a few clues to find out about some scandal, and the reward was the video clips. Once played, not much replay value.

Sorry, don't have it. I do recall seeing it floating around on the web, maybe Ebay in France?
