Falling Down the Stairs

by Charles Miller on November 13, 2002

A cow orker showed me this one. The game is called Porrasturvat, a word the author vaguely translates to English as ‘Stair Dismount’. It's a physics simulation, the physics in question being just how much damage you can do to somebody when you push them down a flight of stairs. It's more than a little scary how much enjoyment one can get out of the simplest cruelties.
