Griefing: Market Surveys for Fake Games

1up has a feature where they decided to do market surveys for fake games outside of a Berkley Gamestop.   The Merchants of cool used such great fake games as Founding Fighters: Battle for the Constitution and Tender Rondo: The Delicate Saga (obviously a JRPG) and people didn’t catch on. In what is probably homage to the great Duty of Publisher WWII games, they also had one called Duty Calls . LISTEN TO THE AUDIO.

People are idiots begging to be griefed. If you like the fake games, contribute your box art in this thread.

"We’re with a product-recognition group called the Merchants of Cool," we told unsuspecting shoppers entering and exiting game stores, and then we asked them to take a videogame survey. A clipboard and digital recorder were all it took to convince consumers that we were, indeed, the real deal. That and straight-faced descriptions of the dopiest, most dubious games imaginable.
