Funny description of Imagic's White Water

[Rev]

This is the description given in this Youtube video.

 

 

Released in 1982 for the Intellivision game console. Three idiots covered in yellow paint get together to ride on a raft made of cardboard. They must face perils like whirlpools who find them delicious, brown shrubbery, BARRELS, half the world's population of rocks, and statues. They can make stops to pick up treasure along the way, and also to get axes firmly planted in their faces. Action is furthered by intense drowning, since by level 3, any brief scrap with a rock means one of your dudes is gonna jump for joy right into the bay, and probably get eaten by a rock. Hey, rocks gotta eat too, and dying is a big part of the charm of this game. Especially when you simply walk off screen and hear a big CHUMPSH. You can even park your cigar and just one at a time jump ship to your hydrating death. The next don't jump till the last have been crushed. These guys are polite! This is me attempting each of the 7 levels once, with much death. For some reason the music is dodgy. I will fix it if i can. But for now just enjoy 3 suicidel guys and their mutual love for floating down deathstreams on loaves of bread.

Since I don't have this game, is that description somewhat accurate or way over the top?

I must say, that does look like half the world's population of man-eating rocks.

well, it's obviously a bit "over the top" though it depicts some game mechanics pretty well but the game is quite funny and challenging. I like it

Anyone who's played the game, while satyrical, is quite honestly not that far off the case... I chuckled the whole way through.
