\"Treadmillasaurus<\/p>\n

John Cooney \u2013 aka jmtb02<\/a> \u2013 can do no wrong in my book. He has the strange, wizard-like ability to invent the world’s most laughably primitive games and then do…\u00a0something <\/em>that makes them not only top fun, but also funny, infuriating, endearing, and completely un-leave-alone-able.<\/p>\n

And look! Here comes his latest,\u00a0Treadmillasaurus Rex<\/a>,\u00a0to prove my point. You’re going to play it just because of the name anyway, right? But pay special attention to how it starts out as a crushingly dull jumping game, and then \u2013 by throwing in a big colourful Wheel Of Fortune, confetti, a direction-switching conveyor belt, a ‘calories burned’ meter, flashing lights and very silly hats \u2013 <\/em>somehow makes you play it at least 23 times.<\/p>\n

\"AA very silly hat<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s even funnier if you imagine you’re watching the pilot for a new gameshow. Play Treadmillasaurus Rex (Flash)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

(And if this is the first you’ve heard of jmtb02, go and play Achievement Unlocked<\/a>, I Love Traffic<\/a> and \u2013 my favourite \u2013 Run Elephant Run<\/a>.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
