You want me to help you build a video game hamster maze thing for YouTube?
SURE!
Leah S., this is complete and total Kubbur overload.
Sure, I have a little spare time on my hands, why?

SURE!

this is so unbelieveably awesome!!!
darn ALMOST made the ************ – I know being ***** not as good a use of my time as building a hamster game but it is my goal.
[Stop it. http://www.squidgrid.com/cute/Glossary.htm#FP - Ed.]
Brill! Is there a version for Xbox? Or even better, Wii – then you can snorgle!
I love how he completely ignored the moving things, even when they were poking him in the butt. And this video is exhibit A of why I always turn the sound off on my computer games. Obnoxious!
Looks like there’s a lot of shoving involved.
O_o
I cannot. believe. I. watched. the WHOLE EFFING THING!! Phew! That was dangerous – thank god I made it through alr- *SPLODE*
My brother and I used to build lego mazes for his hamster.. but she always managed to just climb out the top…
I love the part where it gets squished by the elevator ….hehehe
the background music reminds me the great time i had with my old gameboy…….
Wow, that was a trip! Someone really does have way too much time on their hands!
That part when one of the moving things in the way was zooming into his face, then away, and back again… Made me think of C.O. Extreme Close-up, but for the animal this time, not for us. Here’s a close-up, and a close-up, and a close-up, and a close-up! Just watch it again and think that at that part and you’ll start laughing.
Where the heck did they find a ham with racing stripes?
Um, I don’t think that’s a hamster.
Looks like some exotic animal (or else a real fancy ham)
Awesome. And in case anyone’s wondering: Icelandic.
Wow. The music was something else. ^_^
Chocolate Chipped: I’m pretty sure it’s a real hamster. Similar to Seattle Roll’s *Beef* –> http://flickr.com/photos/seattle_roll/2658027910/
Although, I could be wrong. I’m a cat expert, not a hammie.
Chocolate chipped, looks like a regular dwarf hamster to me.
omg these people should win an award or something. too funny!
the elevator totally cracked me up. what a cute hammie! i want to dunk him in my milk and neeble neeble neeble and then snorgle heem and squeesh heem and call him george.
Definitely redonkulous!
One of my Winter White hamsters looks exactly like that!! His name is Mr. Pigglesworth. My other Winter White, Professor Pouch, is rather more rotund…
I wish they could play in this maze, it’s great!
I thought for a second that he was going to jump out and say “Oh the heck with this!”
Tenacious little scamp!
The levels of redonk in this clip cannot be measured.
High Score!
I need to watch that again when I’m high. It’s just moderately disturbing now.
Poooooor hampsty.
The music and visual style is from Monty On The Run for the Commodore 64, just thought I’d mention.
OMG! Love! Hahahahah!
If you don’t want to watch the whole thing, at least check out the Cleenin’ Break HamMario takes at 01:49!
Awesome!! Where can I play this game?
I love 0:54, where it looks like he laid the house out flat so the ham wouldn’t have to climb!
)
Yes, but does the hamster LEARN anything? Otherwise it has no value in terms of operant conditioning.
Oh, by the way, the score is now:
Japan 236
Iceland 1
US ?
Video clip from the C64 version of the game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DB5dhnvgliM
Orchestrated version of the ingame music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EeArqKNKgg
PAAHAHAAAA!! this is FABULOUS!!!
I gotta build me a ferret-sized one of those!!
ROFL! Some people have WAAAAAAY too much time on their hands….
;D
I’m a little confused, did he get squished/eletrocuted at the end? ?? what happened??
I don’t know why but the music reminded me of a british sci fi tv show I used to watch.
Way cute, and I loved the frantic cleaning at one point. Energetic little guy!
Noelle — if you mean Doctor Who (Tom Baker era, with the spacey analog-synth soundtrack), well, we’re still watching. Only it’s David Tennant now. He’s every bit as hammy in his own way, I might add.

SUPER MARIO!!!
mary1- he went to next level, derr
This reminds me of all those cheesy Atari games I used to play in the 80s…what a brill idea.
Theo: LOVE Doctor Who and David Tennant!!
OMG so awesome! <3 the music.
This must be Luigi. He seemed to have some difficulty on what I thought were pretty straight forward paths there.
For some reason, my kittehs were disturbed by the music??? Isn’t that wacky??
HAMSTER KONG!
No wait a minute, there aren’t any flaming barrels……
Doo doo doodee doodee doooo!
Thank you, Anonymous Nerd — I have played that game back in the 80s… and couldn’t recall the name.
It was a fab game!
LOVE. IT!!!
Very funny. Laughed my head off – clunk.
So this is how Icelanders get through those loooooong winters….
omg it’s Lemmiwinks!!!!!
I too loved the furious cleaning. The sound at the end was from that pinball game sometimes included with Windows. No idea if he was “electrocuted” or “squished”.
My favourite bit is the handstand circa 1:41.
Theo..I was thinking of Doctor Who. I haven’t gotten around to watching the new one, although I love David Tennant. However, Tom Baker will always be the best Dr. Who for me.
Oh, and…OMG Theo talked to me!!!!! *SIGH*
[eyebrow]
I remember seeing this on a UK kids show! I love it so much
I write this sort of music too, so it amazeses me. I love the ham. herro ham!
Makes me want to build little game mazes for him.
This could totally be Bjork’s next video. Just occasionally superimpose her face on the bouncing obstacles, singing. Presto! Done.
Go figure. They’re Icelandic. They have nothing better to do!
After I got over the initial near-heart-attack-inducing shock of having the sound too loud on my earphones when the music first started, I found that whole thing oddly relaxing… And I loved the cleaning break mid-way through, hee hee.
LOL noelle! i feel the same way!
movie says no longer available?
Renee — nope, still works. Somebody ALWAYS says this.
Try clicking on the movie clip, but NOT on the gray “play” rectangle. Or, empty your browser cache, close your browser, then come back and try again.
Also, very often, workplaces actually block YouTube with a firewall, though I don’t really think that’s what’s going on in this case.
I almost peed when the hammie was lifted up to the next level! Brilliant!! And, Elanor, one of the nicknames for my cat is Mr. Pigglesworth — yay!!!
