Invasion of the Second-Hand Shirts

About the Story

Frustrated by unfair comments on both mine and others’ games, I created an intentionally bad game with the following description: ”This is a really bad game. I guarentee you’ll hate it. Unlike the other games on this site, it has no plot, makes no sense, has banal characters, is completely illogical, and has not been extensively tested. I’m not even sure it works. I also turned off auto complete just to annoy you even more. (boy you really want to play it now, don’t you?) I made this game so all you people who like to give games 1′s have something to vote for. Play my game and give it as many 1′s as you like. It’s awful. Really really bad. “

Regardless, it turned out many people found my game to be very funny, and it got many favorable reviews.

Several reviews of Shirts
"DuoDave's attempt at a "deliberately bad" game but, credit to the writer (or maybe not as the case may be), it actually turned out to be quite a bit better than most of the games released around the same time. What the title refers to I've no idea. It certainly has nothing to do with the game itself.

As far as nonsense games go, this game just about has every other one in the field licked: it starts with a detailed introduction which, the final paragraph explains, has nothing to do with the rest of the game whatsoever. Indeed, you start the game actually 'inside' a tree with no inkling as to why you're even there. Think the game sounds a little nuts so far? Boy, it hasn't even started yet."
