Game Review (written by Nav2408) Added on: 10/09/2006
Believe it or not I recall playing "Bar Games" years ago at my grandmother's house. Why my grandmother had this game on her old "state of the art" back then Macintosh, I'll never know.
This game actually contains five different games: Liars Dice, Wet n Wild, Pick up Artist, Last Call, and Air Hockey. Air Hockey is played in the traditional way against the computer (who happens to be a man dressed rather snazzy in colourful shirt and bow tie.) and it progresses in difficulty with each goal scored on this snazzy dresser.
Last Call was my personal favorite. The player must select on a bar the desired "gusto" if you will to push a drink down the bar to a patron. This can get out of hand if you do not select the correct place on the bar. The beer will land on patron and he or she will become soaked and disappear out of sight. You must fill a certain quota of beers handed out and much like Air Hockey, the game increases in difficulty the longer it is played.
Pick up Artist is a game in which the player must try to pick up a lady at the bar. Sounds simple. Not really. You must guess the correct thing to say to each lovely lady and of course each woman likes to hear a different thing. Just like real life, I suppose. But if you are able to pick up one out of three of the ladies sitting at the bar, you can take her on a date and then on a romantic getaway. Just remember to learn what each one likes to hear and you'll be golden.
Wet n Wild is actually a pretty silly game where the player must douse buckets of water on the passer-by below. The player can pick either a woman or man to put the water on, and which each success the woman or man will walk quicker making the objective of dousing them even harder. Fast fingers will come in handy for this game. And although it's silly, it's rather addictive.
I've got to admit that I do not know how to play Liars Dice. I think that is one that my grandmother didn't know how to play, therefore, I was never taught and never wished to learn. But I hope that the other descriptions were helpful.
One other thing I might say about this game. It may be offensive to someone because it does take place in a bar and some of the things said during the game may be taken offensive to some.
Thanks and happy gaming!

(10/23/2006) You compete in some different disciplines that got more or less to do with bars. Some are quite enjoyable while others are - well. not that good. I really liked Air-Hockey, you should give that one a try. I guess this one is best played after one or the other beer. |
