3	'''[=BarneySplat=]''' is a 1993 video game for DOS, created by Austin Seraphin. It was initially a door game for BBS, but then got a stand-alone release. In it, the player tries to sabotage the ''Series/BarneyAndFriends'' show. You can kill Barney, Baby Bop, or the four kids that star on the show. It's a satirical game, with many early 90s pop cultural references. It recently got updated to fix spelling errors (as Austin Seraphin is blind) and add more current cultural references. You can download the game [[http://www.clearwhitelight.org/bs here]].
