Please explain to me why a UK only Home Loan company would create a Wild Wild West Advergame?

How does shooting ol’ timey stereotypes tie back to getting a home loan?

Whatever the crazy rationale Searchandapply.co.uk would likely provide, the game does offer

-offensively drawn indians native americans hurling axes
- Level transitions with EXPLODING dynamite (YES!)
-Unlimited ammo pistols with no reload time

Here’s a video that demonstrates how people play games when they have limitless ammo and no need to reload


I have an old-timey MACHIIIINNNNEE GUUUUUNNNN!!!!

Put a little “english” on it

In a brilliant stroke, the insane creators made the game more inaccurate “British” by swapping the $$ symbols you’d traditionally see on wild west moneybags with £ symbols. Cheerio, partner!

This flash travesty is called the “Wild West Coin Fest” and apparently you can win a Wii. What a fantastic prize, guvna!

Enjoy, I’m going to go work on my new stereotype advergame, “Crumpet-Eaters”

    Hi Charlie

    Just quick note from sunny England

    Thank you for your fantastic review of our game, we are particularly glad that you like the £ signs on the money bags…your plug on youtube is also a touch of magic.

    Do keep me informed of when you launch your game “Crumpet Eaters” - sounds like you may be onto a winner

    All the best my ol’ chum, and tally-ho!

    Your friend in “crumpet eating” land
