Did you know I write a weekly classic gaming column for The Onion AV Club?

Well, now you do. It's called Games of our Lives

This week's game is Up'n Down, which has some of teh funnay in it:

Gameplay: Each level has 10 different flags scattered across two often-intersecting roads.

[. . .]

The roads gowait for itup and down, and will affect your vehicle's speed accordingly. This also affects the other vehicles around you, and you can either jump over (or onto) them, or use your joystick to speed up or slow down to avoid them. Be careful that your momentum doesn't carry you off the road when you jump; just like in real life, if your Bug touches anything but pavement, you'll blow up.

Could be mistaken for: Bump 'N' Jump, the John Waters classic Herbie Goes Magenta.

Kids today might not like it because: When that cute girl asks, "Want to come over and play Up'n Down?" they don't want to find out she's actually talking about a video game.

There's much more (including an archive of 64 columns) at The AV Club.

I saw your review of Tapper. My sister used to be a master at that game on our Commodore 64. Have you ever played anything on the Balley Astrocade?
