I Shot Andy Warhol

For his piece I Shot Andy Warhol, Arcangel took apart a cartridge called Hogan s Alley, a fairly elementary target-shooting program, and substituted new characters on a chip of his own making. The object of the hacked game--and it really is this simple--is to aim a plastic pistol at the screen and hit the Andy Warhol icon whenever it pops up in the alley, while avoiding hitting the Pope, Colonel Sanders, and Flavor Flav icons. The game ends when you ve made 10 misses (including erroneous celebrity kills). In another part of the game you take potshots at falling Campbell s soup cans, and flouting the laws of physics, make them bounce upwards through an open window.
