    Ultra SCSIcide Label Contest

    in AtariAge Sponsored Contests

    An unidentified crocodile, with a hard drive in it's mouth..."

     

    ...then it just sort of squishes together from there. Care to fill us in on the rest of the story?

     

    And shouldn't that croc be wearing a baseball hat with the number 5 on it, while holding a laser gun? :roll:

     

    Kinda reminds me of the inevitable episode of your favorite show that runs out of time and budget so they decide to assemble a "clips show" that features recycled content from their previous seasons. :D

    It reads:

    An unidentified crocodile, with a hard drive in it's mouth, leaped from the roof of the AtariAge building earlier this morning. Startled onlookers couldn't believe that someone would make such an obvious joke, using two previous label designs as a weak premise for it. Joe Grand, author of the game Ultra-SCSIcide was appalled, and threatened the so-called "artist" who was responsible for the stunt. "Man... it just ain't worth the effort I put into the new version of the game when this kind of thing happens." Armin Vogl, the creator of the Krokodile Cartridge, which previously featured the crocodile was similarly appalled. “I may have to take back the prize now, and use another label instead. And just between you and me, I think it looks more like an alligator than a crocodile. But what are you gonna do? These artists get really defensive if you mention something like that.” The joke didn't sit too well with Alex Herbert either. “Great. I though I was getting an original label design for 'Man Goes Down'! Now he just goes and throws it out there like a cheap joke? I'll have to pick someone else's now. At least we haven't started producing the carts yet.” There was so much luck for Albert Yarusso of AtariAge, who had already started putting labels on the Krokodile Cartridges. “Now what am I going to do with these? I suppose I'll Just have to throw them out. They're expensive, too! Somebody owes me a lot of money, that's all I know.” JOYSTICKS or PADDLES In a related story, the artist who was responsible for the joke spent extremely too much time working on it.. including writing this part. “You know,” said the artist, “I could be watching TV or something else right now. Nobody will ever read this text because its way too small.” Besides that, as this reporter noted, it's not just very funny.
