''Don't Buy This'' (also known as ''Don't Buy This: Five of the Worst Games Ever'') is a ZX Spectrum video game compilation released in 1985. As described on the box, it contains five of the poorest games submitted to Firebird. Instead of rejecting the submissions, they decided to mock the original developers by releasing them together and publicly brand it as "unoriginal" and "awful". Firebird even disowned all their copyright to the game and encouraged buyers to pirate it at will.〔 ==Games== *Fido 1: A game where the player controls a dog named Fido to defeat moles and birds〔(Don't Buy This instructions ) at (World of Spectrum )〕 to protect an area for several levels. *Fido 2: Puppy Power: Features similar gameplay as the original ''Fido'', but Fido can now move up and down instead of just left and right. In addition to Fido being able to defeat enemies with its tail, used as an attack in the previous game, Fido can now shoot laser beams from its eyes in order to destroy other enemies and gain health. *Fruit Machine: The player controls an animated, low-resolution slot machine with reels that spin rather slowly. The instructions sarcastically describe the game as a "mysterious, original new game () requires skill, timing, nerve and absolute concentration".〔 The music is an 8-bit medley of short tunes that play when the player wins. *Race Ace: A racing game where the player controls a light blue race car that can only turn 90 and 180-degree angles. The game is impossible to win, regardless of the speed setting of the player's car because the computer-controlled cars advance more quickly every time the player turns. On one screen, the game is erroneously titled "Ace Racer". *Weasel Willy: A game where a "weasel" has to avoid trees that are completely green and its own large, uniform footprints. The trees spawn in random locations whenever a level starts, so the "weasel" may be blocked by trees, preventing the player from being able to play the level. The "weasel" may even start a level with a tree occupying the same space as it does, causing immediate loss of the level. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Don't Buy This」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
