Elebits Pushes Consumption Of Chocolate Koalas
Lunch hours in grade three where some of the happiest memories of my childhood. I hung out with the only other Asian child in my school, Esther. Every lunch hour we would go to the Korean convenience store that was owned by her aunt (it's still in business today!); and by the time we returned, we would be the most popular kids in class. Our paper grocery bags where often filled with lychee flavored gummies, Pocky, gum balloons that where probably toxic, and most importantly, Koala Yummies.
Konami is also relying on children's innate vulnerability to the chocolate filled koala-shaped snacks to help them push more copies of Elebits. From now until March 12th, residents of Japan can participate in a joint promotional campaign sponsored by Konami and Lotte Confectionery.
The prizes for the campaign include a copy of the Elebits game, Elebits apparel, stuffed dolls, small kitchen appliances (!!!), and 1 of 25 Nintendo Wii consoles. Although the contest is only open to residents of Japan, anyone can play the Elebits flash game required to qualify for entry. All you gotta do is collect 1000 watts to obtain the password to enter the draw. Beats a skill-testing math question, doesn't it?

Wow, maybe it's because I've spent like 60 hours playing the actual game, but that Flash thing is SUPER annoying.
