From what I'm looking up there was gonna be another one, called Elf Bowling: Collector's Edition, that was gonna be on Wii and DS and it was gonna include five of the games in the series, similarly to a PC compilation called Super Elf Bowling Collection that was released roughly around the same time as 1&2 on GBA/DS. However, this was quietly cancelled.
And nothing of value was lost.

There's a huge typo that nobody seems to have noticed since 2011.
" If you stay away from a Chaser long enough, it somehow turns into another Orb, but it's incredibly difficult to juggle two Orbs at once and it will likely Your fuel gets a large boost if you clear a chamber, but if you find yourself running low early, you can press the B button to travel over to "Vern's Orb-O-Rama," a strange intergalactic gas station with seven open holes."
The first sentence seems to have drowned in the second sentence between the words "likely" and "Your".

It's the Orb 3D article.

This is probably more suited to the cover plagiarism topic, but the pictures on the Rock-On cover are a blatant theft of some Akira Toriyama designs, the monster especially sems to be ripped off from this robot (sorry for the low quality image): This could explain why it never appears in the game proper.

I played an awful lot of Op Bodycount for reasons that are not entirely clear to me today. Same with Shatner's TekWar.

By looking at the source, I see we lost a paragraph in the middle there thanks to a broken tag. The only surviving bit reads "The registered version of Operation Bodycount"

I don't mean to be rude to the author but the writing in this article is really lacking quality, namely in the overkill of commas. I know every article can't be checked for accuracy or minor mistakes but this one just comes off as needing to be proofreading, the actual writing itself in some parts not withstanding. The tumblr excerpt especially just comes off as really disjointed and seems like a glaring mess.

EDIT: I should be talking about article issues with the editor in email, not in the forums. I'm too used to collaborating on wikis I guess. Apologies.

It's funny because if I didn't know any better I'd say this game was some smartass making a commentary on Call of Duty by turning it into a Wolfenstein 3D clone instead of an actual old game.

The second paragraph of the Operation Body Count article should have been followed with "Operation Body Count should have been awesome, even for a Wolf3D clone that came out in 1994, when Doom was already king of the hill, and Doom 2 was just around the corner. Unfortunately, it was made by Capstone Software, champion developer of ugly, laughable, and boring first person shooters." It was changed before publication to "Operation Body Count was dated, as a Wolfenstein 3D clone that came out in 1994, when Doom was already king of the hill, and Doom 2 was just around the corner. It was made by Capstone Software, champion developer of ugly, laughable, and boring first person shooters." With this change, the dramatic build-up to how awesome the game could've been suddenly falls flat when the article abruptly mentions how dated it was when it came out. Even to a new reader, it feels like a sentence is missing. It should either be restored to the original version, or edited for a better transition. jellybones Where is there a tumblr excerpt? On HG101's tumblr the excerpt is just really disjointed. It's the third paragraph. As for your suggestion, while the sentence structure itself is leagues better than what we have I have to say it's not really necessary for a buildup seeing as how the game is already the subject of Weekly Kusoge. We know it's not going to be good. Do the commas really only bother me?

One thing... that intro for Operation Body Count only appears in the shareware version.

www.hardcoregaming101.net/kusoge/kusoge-familydog.htmIn the early 90s, there were a number of "adult" cartoon sitcoms after the early success of The Simpsons. These were all terrible (except The Critic) but one of them, Family Dog, had such high expectations that it got an SNES game tie-in. Like the cartoon, it is quite substandard.
