You know, it was one of the great tragedies of the 1990s that we
never got a Saved by the Bell video game on the SNES. One
heavily inspired by the Earthbound series, in which you had to
help Zack do whatever he did for 23 minutes an episode.  This
clip, by the team of Benny Fine, Rafi Fine and Doc Octoroc (who
also did the amazing 8-bit Twilight game from last year), shows
how just such a game might have been handled, our blonde-haired
hero inundated with his standard cries for help from a strangely
dysfunctional, attractive group of friends.  The game wouldn't
be too hard. Either a hug or a yell of THERE'S NO HOPE IN DOPE
should get you through most situations.
