>>If anything, if an arcade game were designed to incorporate late rock artist Frank
>>Zappa, I wonder what Frank would want the arcade game play to consist of. :-)

>Zappa? I'd go with 200 Motels or Yellow Shark. Those would make um... interesting games...

I can envision the difficulty setting being just like Pac Man cab on comedy tv show Taxi.





btw: I never knew about this scene from the tv show Taxi. It had to be from an episode I had never seen before. The dialogue from 2:55 to 3:40 when Louie's character is trying to convince a stock investor to go to genetic research is just a few years before its time. I have to give writers and James Burrows props for actually predicting what the future held. Stocks in AT&T did go down while pharmacy and genetic research such as AmGen did take off starting in early to mid 1990 years. Investors in pharmacy stock did well at the time...as long as they weren't expecting breakthroughs such as cloning model 'Cheryl Tiegs by the dozens' as what the DePalma character predicted.
