Poaching on "Ghost of a Flea" Turf

. . .except without the paeans to the glories of Kylie Minogue.

I got this weird little timewaster from a mailing list I can never manage to keep up to date with (between Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, they racked up well over a thousand posts).

I tried playing three times, and only managed 37 metres before it all went pear-shaped for the hapless drunk on my third try. Thus proving that I'm not particularly good at this sort of thing, I guess. Quoting from the original mailing list posting:

The object of the game is to keep the drunk walking in a straight line by moving your mouse to the left or right (no clicking). You can't see the mouse so it makes it a little challenging. Apparently the record is 82 meters.

Neat find! 65 metres is my best shot. He seems to get extra wobbly after 50m. Posted by: Chris Taylor at January 13, 2005 06:16 PM
52 metres was my next best score. You clearly have more experience navigating while drunk! Posted by: Nicholas at January 13, 2005 06:37 PM
