Welcome, plucky players, to the first volume of Atomic Creepus Arcade! We think you'll have a skel(eton) of a good time here. Now, without further a-boo, here's your host... the Atomic Creepus!

Hey kiddos! Come on in and relax a minute, you make me nervous lurking over there! And believe me, I know lurking. And looming. And creeping. But that's all beside the point!

Our in-aw-gyoo-ral entry to the Atomic Creepus Arcade is a true oldie. It was buried under so much dust, we were blowing 'til our cheeks got all weird and tingly before we could even read the title. My producer's cheeks, that is—I'm not sure where mine have gotten off to these days. But enough about my bony purple tuchus!

When I finally saw its name, I had to wonder what kinda twigs the team was chewing on: "Skeleton Spin!" Where the heck did that come from? Game's about a skeleton spinnin' around, I'll grant you, but still! Wild!

Anyhow, this here is a classic example of the "one-button game" craze that Lost Generation game makers took to after the war. Overdone? Sure, can't argue with you there. But at least you don't need to dial the hint line to figure them out a hot century later. Speaking of, my producer says you might even be able to play this one on your telephone!

(Though he didn't say if you need to have a touch-tone or what. Caller beware, I guess.)

I should let you load it up, but first, here's your official Atomic Tip for Skeleton Spin: You always get at least 25 points for landing a bone, even if you're way over on the wrong side—no good waiting for the perfect shot if you're almost out of time. Now get to spinning!
