How well is EU doing?

The 'chicken hunt' game is probably the screensavers/wallpapers/arcade game pack of the movie 'chicken run' - a clay-mation film by the 'Wallace and Grommit' guy Nick Price?

Moorhuhnjagd seems to be the most popular game here in Germany. Its popularity comes from the fact, that each game lasts about 90 seconds and you can play it from you office computer. Basically, it revolves around shooting ducks. Very intelligent and 50 DeutschMarks worth...

I think having such 'brilliant' games like Moorhuhnjagd in Germany we should inform people about the latest gaming-hit. My source of games is a special shop at Leipzig named 'Zur 48'. When I bought EU there I found two copies. So they've already sold 50%. Hehe. But...there were about 50 to 60 copies of 'Pulleralarm'. How to translate this? Attention, I have to piss?

I'm laughing so hard it hurts . . . wtf could _this_ game possibly be about?!

I saw it on TV...a famous German TV host (has a rather funny show) walks around famous places, sits down to drink beer. After a while he has to piss...you get points for drinking all the bottles in a level. If you are caught while pissing...shudder...it sounds more and more pathetic to translate the game idea here.

i checked with almost all of the stores in New Orleans. none of them have heard of the game. well of course i was asking the pimple faced kids that work there, so im not sure if that is accurate information. did any other U.S. citizens ask your local stores yet?

Man, I was really looking forward to showing people this game, but then the 'demo' they finally put up on the website just showed videos of the game.
I would say Pulleralarm is best translated as 'Dick Alarm!', but of course, 'I gotta piss!' gives a better image of the goal of the game. For those who want a look at the game, the website is

Stefan Raab is a freak, as if this didn't prove it.

You have broadened my horizons. I love the look on his face as he whizzes into the pool. And all this from the nation responsible for Beethoven . . .
