Publisher: Canal+ Multimedia
Conversion to CD-i: ICDI

Comes with a 31-page hardcover booklet with instructions and a description of the characters. The game is based on a popular French puppet series portraying celebreties (there's also a German version of this show).

have you played it? does it require a DVC? what kind of game is it?

Yes, it needs DVC. I played it for a bit, it looks like you're playing a journalist in "world company" and you need to get higher in the company. The first parts seems like a point-and-click adventure in a drawn environment. Of course when you don't understand French, it's a bit pointless

Ack, I had to sit throught this thing at least a hundred times

It's fun if you like the TV series it's based on, bit like Spitting Image if you know that old show. Political satire, so you really need to know a bit of the background from back then to fully appreciate the clips. The Pulp Fiction spoof with Chirac as a mob killer wa hilarious.

The game itself was pretty straightforward, you needed to find a few clues to find out about some scandal, and the reward was the video clips. Once played, not much replay value.

Sorry, don't have it. I do recall seeing it floating around on the web, maybe Ebay in France?
