Gopher Crash Game

The Minnesota Gophers men's football team was launching a new advertising campaign with the characters of Barb and Marge, a rather ordinary pair of suburban Minnesotans with a penchant for game violence and rough talk.

This interactive, Shockwave game encorporated Barb and Marge and appeared on the Gopher's Web site during the football season, complete with sound effects, animated characters, and mathematical calculations.
