: Reminds me of a very obscure game known as "Wheels!", a game
: produced by a company that licensed the M2 engine from Bungie. (About the
: same time that it was licensed for ZPC, Prime Target, and Damage Inc.) It
: was really interesting in that was produced with the intention of being a
: training tool for paralyzed young children to help them learn how to
: properly manoeuvre a powered wheelchair. I remember playing the demo...it
: was the strangest thing I've ever played; there was no plot (at least,
: none I could discern), and game play involved moving around, opening
: doors, and "killing" evil clowns with cream pies, (And I think a
: seltzer bottle was a weapon also.)

This was actually done by two biggies in the Marathon community, Hamish Sanderson and Mike Trinder. And no, there's no real plot - the idea was to teach kids new to electric wheelchairs how to use 'em. And apparently, it was very good at that. :)
