Dragon Poker

[edit]

Another possible on the list to claim lineage from Fizzbin is "Dragon Poker" in Robert Aprin's "Myth" series book "Little Myth Marker".

Mornington Crescent? Fictional?

[edit]

I think not. This was created for the comedy radio series I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue. It's a parody, yes, but is certainly not fictional. --Veratien 05:01, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also a computer game

[edit]

I played this game (called Fizzbin) on the Apple II series of computers, long ago. As far as I can remember, it matched the rules currently listed in the article. 207.172.69.74 14:33, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I played it, too. It asked questions like "Is it Tuesday?" "It it night?" during the game. If a reference can be found, a mention should be added to the article.—mjb 20:40, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Might & Magic

[edit]

Not sure if this was a direct reference or not, but the game Might & Magic 3 had an item in it called the "Ancient Fizzbin of Misfortune". Finding one placed a permanent curse on one of your characters. They were found in a few select locations and you just kind of had to know in advance not to look there in order to avoid them. It seems similarly arbitrary, though has little else in common besides the word. Worth a mention? Lurlock 21:06, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
