This game is an epic casino game which features Mario Fortran.
Here is more information about that little guy, from http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/fortran.
Fortran is a Mario look-alike with a pale face, red teeth, and odd-looking feet from the Chinese bootleg “Dian Shi Ma Li” or Mario Lottery. Fortran was originally part of a dead fad started by an artist at DeviantART named “TheMarioBrother” but has since broken away from Weegee and now has it’s own fad. The fad involves taking a sprite from a pirated game or creepy piece of official artwork, revamping it, giving it a name, and powers. Fortran’s signature catchphrase is “PUSH START TO RICH”, an engrish saying in the game, ! some versions of Dian Shi Ma Li have the phrase “PUSH START TO GET RICH” instead. Fortran is joked about because of his scary appearance.

Comments

It was fun to make. I've abused the random icon selecting system to RICH!!! And I've played a little music by inserting money. I'm sure it will be accepted due to an epic Internet meme.

DarkKobold: Let me tell you a story. Once, a man walked six hundred miles. Then, he walked six hundred more.He had reached the ocean, and continued walking. He drowned approximately 5 minutes later. His body washed ashore about 10 miles downstream. The moral of the story is that if you shave on Wednesday, don't eat bread on Thursday. Also, walking is dumb.
Oh yeah, claiming for judging.
DarkKobold: You damn kids and your electronic typewriters, making you lazy rapscallion delinquents. Now-a-days, you just have to press 'start' or 'A' to rich! Back in my day, we had to walk 6 miles in 10 feet of snow, up hills both ways, if we wanted to rich. We'd get to Johnny's Convenience Store, and only have 3 nickels to spend to rich. Ol' Johnny would come see us, and tell us about his time in the War, and then he'd chase us off with a broom. I tell you, those were the simple times, before electronic typewriters, or that bannana myphone. If we wanted to make a phone call, we had to walk down to the only phone in town, which was usually in use by Maudy. Man, that woman would talk for ages about anything and everything. If you needed the town gossip, she was the one to go to. She knew the whole town's business, down to the last...
... what? huh? Where was I? Oh yeah, you young-ins and your pressing start to rich. I'm rejecting your rich, now get off my lawn!

adelikat: This was unrejected for consideration of publication to the Vault, however it does not meet vault requirements (such as clearly completing a game, and aiming for fastest time)

Voted no due to it being dull, pointless and generally annoying.

LOL, the subs look even more crappy than the game itself. PLZ, don't make them transparent all the time.
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

Then the world implodes, and you get to live up to your name. I don't have any idea, obviously.

If the queue is empty, then there are no threads on the Workbench. It has happened once before.

What. I think you missed April Fools by some 3.5 months there, MisterEpic. Voted yes, for the lolz.
http://www.youtube.com/Noxxa <dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive. This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects. <Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits <adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.

Hell yeah, been waiting for this one. However, it is possible to rich faster (the rich glitch or riching technique). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5fm-U1gks4 Is the glitch not possible with A? Is high riching not really a goal? My only real problem is that it is "encoded in HD" when the console had no such thing. Fix your damn terminology, encoders. Haters gonna hate.

so it's 電視瑪琍. Since this is a casino game, we should make the vote numbers lucky (7/7/7). Just 4 more Meh votes to become rich. EDIT: Alright. 8/8/8 would still work.
<klmz> it reminds me of that people used to keep quoting adelikat's IRC statements in the old good days <adelikat> no doubt <adelikat> klmz, they still do

Hmm... it looks like Mister Epic's run here has a speed/entertainment tradeoff then. I think I prefer the amount of riching going on in this run. But seriously, to ask the question everyone's had, what in the world is this? And actually, how do runs of this look unassisted? (After all, this needs to beat unassisted records...)
Used to be a frequent submissions commenter. My new computer has had some issues running emulators, so I've been here more sporadically. Still haven't gotten around to actually TASing yet... I was going to improve Kid Dracula for GB. It seems I was beaten to it, though, with a recent awesome run by Hetfield90 and StarvinStruthers. (http://tasvideos.org/2928M.html.) Thanks to goofydylan8 for running Gargoyle's Quest 2 because I mentioned the game! (http://tasvideos.org/2001M.html) Thanks to feos and MESHUGGAH for taking up runs of Duck Tales 2 because of my old signature! Thanks also to Samsara for finishing a Treasure Master run. From the submission comments:
Shoutouts and thanks to mklip2001 for arguably being the nicest and most supportive person on the forums.
