As long as they include an Air Farce easter egg, all will be well. The one where they have a baseball player guess star and he hits the Furby into the audience: "Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh sheeeeeeet!"


HEHEHHAHHAheheh... oh. I guess you had to be there.

Augh...Sid Meier's Furbies!?!?!

How much can you do with a Furby game? It'll end up just like that Dolphin game than never took off (virtual pet).

What's next, Sid Meier's Pokemon vs Tamagotchi?

On behalf of BG, sorry about all the misinterpretation. What the game really will be is a first-person shooter where you try to kill the evil furbys that are attacking the Earth. An excerpt from Hasbro's press release:

"The Furbys are plotting to take over the world by hypnotizing the Earth's children. At the correct moment, the furbys will issue a command for all the little kids to rise up and rebel against their parents. When the little kids finally win the long battle (remember, they can be vicious), the Furbys will step in and take over. But before they can do this, the Furbys will have to land enough of their forces on Earth to be able to contain the rampaging kids. As Johnny Biceps, you have to stop the Furby invasion to save the world. You have a variety of weapons to assist you, including chainsaws, assault rifles, chain guns, the BFG, and the ultimate weapon: A battery zapper that will neutralize all Furbys in the area. This game will truly change the first-person-shooter genre with its innovative..."
