While Slashfilm recommends sticking to your Maniac Mansion or Narc emulators for the long haul, Pineapple Express has a new Donkey Kong ripoff, featuring a playable Seth Rogen or James Franco, that might sooth your holiday hangover-slash-impressive sparkler burns. The goal: Avoid bouncy evil pineapples as you climb ladders to devour floating tacos, Big Gulps, potato chips and French fries. Click here to play.

Yeah, it doesn’t exactly set Billy Mitchell’s tie on fire (disclosure: we only played two levels). We expected more from PE, something to challenge the provocative ranks of Running Scared’s Hot Coffee using bongs and Tipper Gore’s party line. Alas, Huey Lewis’s theme song beckons us to stay positive. Update: The video game for Step Brothers is a whole lot worse (therefore better?). Also, John McCain’s Pork Invaders remains inexcusable.

Discuss: Come up with a concept for a better yet equally simple Pineapple Express video game. Note: This is an unpaid position.

    I dunno, I can't think of a much better design than that. It's tried and true, after all. Maybe add a giant ape?

    No, wait.

    giant apes - yes, but have them chasing you while you try to drive a pinapple car around a basement (game areas include "Laundry Mountain", and "The Table with the Lava Lamp") searching for a magic lighter and picking up stray seeds. When you fill your pinapple with enough weed and find the lighter, your pianapple car smokes out and the game goes into "weedvision." You need weed vision in order to find the door, which will teleport you to either "Your Friend's Sister's Bedroom" or "The Kitchen." Final stage* is rumoured to get you to Potville where bikini girls splash into your bong and wait to be smoked.

    *no game player has ever really kept playing past level 1.

    well that's lame I spend over an hour (yeah I know) trying to get a top score I finally do and it says can't save score... also notice none of the top scores have changed at all.... why even put a top score screen on then?

    possibly some type of don't spill the bong water type game, or don't drop the blunt.

    maybe you could be floating on a giant smiley face while dodging squares. hmmmm, not a geometric square, but a lame-wad type square, or whatever the kids are calling them nowadays.
