  spoof
Spoof is a game of chance often played in a pub to establish who buys the next round.
Spoof is not a game which lends itself easily to competitions involving large numbers of people.
A predetermined number of rounds of spoof will then be played in order to establish either (i) two or (ii) one person from each school to proceed to the final and the same number of losers to proceed to a "losers final".

 Tasmanian Spoofing School - Rules of Spoof
The game of Spoofing has been defined by a notorious innkeeper named Kevin Schwass as ‘the ancient art of mathematical calculation as played by gentlemen’.
The game of spoof is a gentlemen's game and, as such, members of the female persuasion in general should be discouraged from spoofing (unless in the possession of a small sac well-filled).
The Spoof call is now rarely used because, as in the preceding example, if you thought the preceding call was EXACTLY right you would say Cliff instead of Spoof, because if you’re right with Cliff you win a coin rather than it being a draw.

The first recorded reference to the game in 1884 refers to its revival.
It was not long before the word spoof took on the general sense "nonsense, trickery," first recorded in 1889.

As I mentioned, this is a Chrono Trigger spoof, but rather than just rewrite the SNES classic with a comic spin, Erave has come up with a fun and original story which gives Channel Changer and identity of it’s own.
Channo, the game’s lead is a quite, sort of shy type who serves as a sort of “straight man” against the rest.
The dialogue tends to be lighthearted and suits the characters and the atmosphere of the game perfectly.

Some of the cunning, old players are so familiar with each other's games and favored numbers, I'm told, they will try to steal that number or confuse their friend with a high or low call.

Comedy is notoriously rare in video games, where the funniest games often keep the joke-to-action ratio of a Hollywood action movie, rather than a Will Ferrell or Jim Carrey flick.
Perry — who is in the early stages of making a new comedy game for 2007 — said one of the most formidable obstacles to making a game funny is the multiyear process of actually making a game.

You might think that a game that features a drunken homeless hero battling terrorists, surviving earthquakes, witnessing meteor strikes and dealing with zombies would be a lot of fun.
You might think that a game that spoofs homeland security, current events and silly disaster movies would be ripe for satire.
On the surface this sounds like a great premise to a game, natural (and human) disasters are great fodder for video games, yet somehow Bad Day L.A. fails to capitalize on the fun of a meteor strike or a horrific flood.

 Inside Mac Games Review: James Bond 007: NightFire
The game opens with MGM's roaring lion and proceeds to display a Bond-ish introduction, complete with girl dancing with gun and horrible music, so that all seems in keeping with the film series.
That isn't necessarily a bad thing, actually, in that there's a good deal of variety (and once you've finished the game, you can revisit the missions in any order you like), but it didn't seem to me to make for an authentic 'Bond experience'.
Each mission clearly attempts to include 'token Bond elements', such as scaling a high building using suction pads, the journey to a space station in a shuttle, or the escape from a snowy mountain retreat in a cable car.
