Sometimes, games aren’t good because their gameplay is amazing, but rather because of the story they present.  And perhaps one of the greatest stories is strictly related to Newgrounds itself, in the game How I Buy Petrol?

Anyway, How I Buy Petrol? is described as an “interactive epic poem” about one of the Newgrounds forum dwellers, named Sirkom93.  One day, he hatched an ingenious plot to get unspecified revenge on his schoolyard chums, which he announced to the Newgrounds forum.  This nefarious plot was then relayed to police by a valiant whistleblower named DeckHeadTottie, and Sirkom93 was arrested.

But before Sirkom93 can get his unspecified revenge…you’ll have to help him answer one question:  How I Buy Petrol?

It’s a comic riot, because apparently Sirkom93′s mental candlepower aspires to the crustacean range, and his unspecified revenge requires a lot of idiotic behavior on his part.  But still–it’s the story that counts here, though you’ll have some interesting minigames to partake in in an attempt to “buy petrol”.  Like I said: it’s not about the gameplay, it’s all about the story.  Though I have to admit, I’ve never seen real life distilled to a game with such effectiveness and comedic glee.

And Sirkom93′s story would be a whole lot funnier if people hadn’t been in danger…albeit, a rather limited danger.
