The Power Shovel Lullaby Method
Via GSW columnist RyanS, an old G4 Cinematech video that we missed, but is sooo worth it, since it displays the genius of 'Omega 3 & The Fatty Acids', a band apparently formed entirely to sing the praises of a cheap Japanese PS1 import.
Some of the lyrics to the song accompanying video of the game, as far as we can tell, read: "You're a very nice game... $9.99, a very nice price.... Power Shovel, teaching me to be the best that I can be." Most importantly: "I shovel turtles... and curry, for free." And as you'll see from the video, that's really what you do in Power Shovel!
Also, there are a bunch more Cinematech-related clips down the right hand margin, which is cool, because you can check out some of the other fun they've been up to recently - I particularly like the extremely gory Jaws clip, which highlights the amount of ways you can gore, drown, and otherwise spindle humans with your lovable shark! Also cool - 'The Pirates' for PlayStation 2, a Japanese import which I'm presuming is a D3 game - the jaunty hornpipe background music makes it, mind you.

slow news day, eh?
Actually, Power Shovel came out in the US from Acclaim, but barely localized (just text) It was up for auction with the acclaim estate while back and I was might tempted...
It's actually a pretty amazing game, half arcade half sim.
