Good for Christian for sticking to his guns. My sons had a version of the game for the Nintendo console system (N64, I think). The characters are a gorilla, a lizard and a werewolf that go through various cities punching at buildings to bring them down, grabbing things and eating them for points, etc.

Do you remember the name of this game? I vaguely recall something called "The Creature that Ate Sheboygan." Maybe that's a book and not a game at all.

Answering myself: That was an SPI board game.

"The Creature that Ate Sheboygan" was a board game from SPI - I know because I owned it at one time. I've been racking my brain trying to remember the name of the video game, but haven't had any success yet.

**Added** Found it! It was called "Rampage" and evidently there's a Wii version available.

When the $2K question came up, I started laughing. I figured they'd need to burn a lifeline, because they're both from the South and maybe didn't know where Kalamazoo is!

Than he started talking about that video game. I laughed even harder trying to imagine a gorilla, werewolf, and lizard destroying the whole town-hmm, I wonder if the city fathers know about this? Heck, the tornado did plenty of that back in 1980!!
