Inventing a Video Game

First of all a spider falls out of the sky Landing on your head Which is not funny because it is a heavy spider! So you fall down into a potted plant Wood ticks begin crawling up your arms now. You have to use your controller to smash them If you leave even one, you will pay later for it. You have a choice now. Enter haunted castle Or enter haunted tree. Something is screaming “Don’t go into the castle” It is up to you to decide Because there are foolers in this game And if they fool you they steal some of your points But here is the tricky part. There are helpers too. There are witches, goblins, ghouls, and gargoyles. They steal your coins if you are not careful. You have to eliminate them quickly. Draculas, devils and other evil demons are curiously on your side; you have to remember which ones to kill and which ones are helping you. Trickier still – as you play the game the goblins and Draculas can change roles, always keeping you on your toe. The game is called “Watch your Back” – Good luck!

.... I was afraid you were telling story of your recent gardening misfortune! Have read the comments. Funny, fast paced. 'Granny's Garden' was the predominant (only) game played in school in 1985. There was absolutely nothing educational to it, so go figure!

No one. This was a prompt to design a scary video game for a 9 year old boy who would be the judge of the contest. Mine was the only entry, so the contest got scratched. GRRRRR.
