I received an email from Jason Norris [Affiliate Manager of LOVEFiLM] promoting LOVEFiLM’s latest competition. I was delighted to see that rather than the normal ‘answer a daft question’ style of competition LOVEFiLM has created a great little flash game to play called Slogger which is in the style of Frogger, the classic game from the 80’s.

The objective of the game is to control Eric, who has a DVD to return to the video shop before he encours a late fee, but the path to the store is a minefield of cars on a busy street and speeding trains on the railway (don’t try this at home kids!).
It seems LOVEFiLM is showing that having to deal with late fees and the extra journey to the store is a pain, when you don’t have to with their rental system.

The prize is a Sony Bravia 40 inch LCD Television, and 10 runner up prizes of cinema tickets. All you need to do is enter your email address and get to the end of the game in the fastest time. The competition closes on the 29th of February.

The game is fun and not as easy to complete as i thought, it is also littered with some great film and TV references. Here are some i have found, i think i got them all but if you find more post in the comments.
The A-team van, Dukes of Hazzard car, Knight Rider, Starsky and Hutch, The Bus from Speed, Herbie, The Blue Brothers police car, Del boys 3-wheeler, the Delorean from Back to the Future, The Minis from the Italian Job, Dick Dastardly’s car (the Mean Machine 00) from Wacky Races and i think Postman Pats van (but i couldn’t see Jess though!). It also has the gang members from the Warriors to tackle just before you head out to the trains.
