I remember when I was but a lad in the year 1999 and I had the free web game on my computer. Oh what fun I would have as I was only 11 at the time and didn't know any better. I would spend a whole 15 minutes of my life, trying to kill every animal, sure that there was some hidden prize for doing so (I think there was a deer, a frog, and a rabbit if I remember correctly).

There's a movie too.

Yes. A movie.

Mechareaper - yeah you can hit a reindeer with the bowling ball when it walks up. No rewards that I know of for hitting all of 'em... and let's face it, based on the complete lack of quality of every other aspect of the game, the rewards wouldn't be worth the effort at all.

Brolita - Wow, you're right. Talk about milking something for far more than it's possibly worth. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0460811/

My eyes hurt... And not because I'm feeling sleepy.

Sadly I have seen the movie...bad animation...bad voice acting...bad plot...

I do recall when this first circulated and then I remember the hooderah about how it had a virus embedded in it and that you shouldn't download it. And sadly, I think I remember seeing the release of both game and movie and thinking what a waste they both were.

I heard they are going to release "frog in a blender" early 2010...I'm so excited!

Naughty children should receive this in their stockings instead of coal.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I remember the virus that wiped out the world. That was the real Y2K.

Please someone confirm this for me. I seem to remember, on the computer version, of elf bowling 2, that there were penguins that marched up the iceberg, in the background, you could shoot them, and I think you got a few points for each one, and if you shot it in the head, youd hear a voice say "headshot!". I see no penguins in the GB version

i watched that video in its entirety for some reason, and even though i've never played the game, i feel like i just did... and i hated every second of it. i feel like this game should have earned a zero pickle rating-- a half pickle seems too generous, even though that's the worst rating something is supposed to be able to get.

it seems unlikely that you can shoot anything since you're playing a lame version of shuffleboard. however, there is a game called "conquer antarctica" in which you have a team of penguins that shoots at another team of penguins. the voice effects sound oddly similar:
