1118229 2010-07-13 09:08:00 A classic must be one which causes the gamer to endure deep burns to the retinas and OOS - RSI in the wrists and or fingers, both of which require a never ending supply of alcohol to reduce the pain ....

This effect should become noticeable around 4am (assuming the game was started at 6.30pm the previous evening) before reaching level 5 of a 10 level game.

It will also be necessitate the wife / girlfriend / boyfriend / flatmate phoning your boss and calling in sick for at least the next 3 - 4 days. If someone beats your high score in the interim, it may mean a repeat call to the boss to arrange at least another week off work.

It also becomes "classic" when you use a fire axe on the boss in the face because he resembles one of the square bodied brick faces that run around with a chainsaw from quake 1
