With Prison Break [The Game] nearing completion, ZootFly today announced it secured the official Mr. T graphic novel license from Mohawk Media.

ZootFly will develop a series of games packed with the trademark over-the-top adrenaline-pumping action of Mr. T.

The games will feature knuckle-whitening action-adventure, furious brawler combat, gravity-defying platforming, and environmental puzzles.

The first game will see Mr. T take on Nazis and their gigantic machines in the varied universe of South American rain forests, lost ancient cities, industrial complexes and contemporary military installations.

Along with Mr. T and other characters from the graphic novel, the game will feature non other than Will Wright. In this universe, Will Wright is not a top-notch game designer but a top-notch American geneticist who was kidnapped and coerced to work on a diabolic plan. Mr. T and Will Wright will join forces to annihilate the Nazis and their hardware.

Awesome! :D

EDIT: Fixed the link.

Hypnotically inclined.

    No, as in "Damnit Zootfly, you announce your April Fool's joke on April Fool's Day, not at the end of the month".

    Seriously, how the hell is this real?

    Testicular.

    Waaaaay back when the Internet had just emerged from the primordial soup, there was a brief flurry of "(Insert pop culture figure here) Ate My Balls!" comics, with the Mr. T one the most popular.

    Think of it the lolcats of the late 90s.

    Warren Spector got a doctorate and went to Mars via a cannon with Sigmund Freud and restored the glory of the Martian civilisation. Like, eighteen fucking years ago.

    Will Wright as a world-class geneticist? Fuck Will Wright. He ain't got shit on Dr. Warren Spector.

    There was also a large amount of Mr T vs. sites out there too, he would fight everyone and win by eventually tossing whoever he was fighting. The 90's internet was a masterpiece.

    I played it. I rented it from Gamefly back when I used 'em.

    It's by no means a bad game, it was just very cookie cutter and had little to no replay value.

    Had it not been for the license it would have been horrible

    Mr. T vs. The Matrix was the best one.

    I wouldn't say horrible, but the gameplay was fairly bland, yeah. The video game parodies are all kinds of hilarious, though.
