Just got my hands on "Invasion from the Planet Skyron", this game if it can be called that in the first place is completely barking mad. Now this just might be a British thing but I love it and if you ever watched Monty Python it does have some form of logic behind the gameplay in a twisted sort of a way true. Does anybody else understand this game?

Well, I absolutely don't. It's ridiculously frustrating IF you expect playing an actual game instead of just fooling around with the disc. When you win one of these small games, points are given or taken away from you in a 100% arbitrary way. It's certainly nice and typically Monty Python, and if you love the series you shouldn't miss this one. But it's not a game in my opinion. Just an 'experience' of clicking and watching.

Some would define that as a game

An oddity for sure but with the Monty Python tongue in cheek humour i'll be prepared to class it as a game if only for the mouse bashing challenge!! Especially like the way it all begins as well.

i don't think there are many screenshots and/or videos available, are there?

No. At some point i'd like to get some video capture hardware/software to play around with my AV consoles and fiddle about with screenshots/video.

Now, how far have you come with this? Didn't it frustrate you like hell before you even reached the 10.000 points barrier?

No, I haven't played it extensively yet. Been working on the Game Guide so I should be a professional at it after i'm finished!!

It's funny, the guide goes through some pains to explain how this is some sort of a game but certainly not your typical "Game"
