The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
Someone not so very far away, and well known to most of us, has attained cult status on the World Wide Web today.
This gamer, who shall remain nameless until he/she decides to reveal themselves, defeated one of the most complex and tortuous games ever devised, and became the first person in history to do so, this afternoon. It took them 12 minutes.
The Game? Batz.
The Level? Flappy.
Now that this unheard of achievement in the annals of gaming lore has been done, what is there left to do? The Future of Gaming is looking very bleak now. It was thought that this game was the hardest in history, impregnable to most, undefeatable by all, an enduring icon of stability in the wilderness of ever more easy to beat games.
Well, its been beaten. The Web community is in shock. Government scientists have been drafted in to help a squad of crack programmers in devising more tortuous levels for Flappy and Harry, the Batz who are currently in disgrace with their creator. Rumours are circulating of an even more impregnable Batz, Monster Batz, being released onto the World Wide Web over the impending weeks, a level so excrutiatingly difficult that no gamer worth his/her salt would even consider trying it, the mental anguish involved just not worth the effort.

Batz? You never heard of Batz? It's the Holy Grail, with a capital H and a capital G, of gamers! The ultimate challenge! Get BJLangley to tell you all about it.
Oops

What the hell is Batz anywho?
I'd love to say, but I'm bound by the Data Protection Act and the morality of spamming, so I'm not at liberty to divulge any more information other than that provided in the original post. The person in question my reveal all should it be their wish to do so.
Is it someone one this forum?
