(Yes, it was actually called that, it's not just a crap attempt at namespacing)

A game developed for a number of 8 and 16-bit home computers around 1990. It was basically an extremely bizarre Track & Field variant (a joystick waggler- well what else could it be?), with each event featuring characters from one or more Viz strips. The only events I can remember were a 100m race involving Buster Gonad (with wheelbarrow) and Biffa Bacon, and the celebrated Johnny Fartpants High Pumph event, where deft joystick maneuvring would allow Johnny to quack himself airborne. Absolutely puerile and trivial, but excellent fun nonetheless.
