Wayne's World is an Adventure Game from 1993 developed by Robert Fiorini & Associates and published by Capstone based on the film with the same name. DRAG threatens to take off Wayne and Garth's show off the air unless they make 50,000$. They decide to host a pizza-thon, an event which lets them sell pizza for charity purposes to raise the cash. It's up to them to go around the city and prepare everything necessary for the thon.


This game provides examples of:

  • Brick Joke: During the "Name That Babe" quiz show, Wayne can always answer with "Madonna!", which is never correct. However, in the last question the answer IS Madonna, and it's the only option you can select (with different wording).
  • Color-Coded Speech: Wayne's text is blue, Garth's is yellow, while most other characters use white.
  • Deliberately Monochrome: The room that references Frankenstein (1931) is completely black-and-white. Even the interface loses its color in it!
  • Dialogue Tree: You can select from up to five different responses while talking.
  • Extreme Close-Up: There's a button that lets you get an extreme close-up of an object, though it doesn't always work. The duo screams if you do it.
  • Fun with Acronyms: Decency Referendum Against Grossness, or DRAG.
  • Green-Skinned Space Babe: A person in the intro mentions an alien-babe who looked like Madonna, but prettier. Wayne and Garth dismiss it as a hoax.
  • Lame Rhyme Dodge: When Wayne tells Cecil that he's shocked how Ludwig managed to get on TV, Cecil is offended because he hosts his favorite show, which forces you to pick one of four weird rhyming sentences in response.
  • Lizard Folk: One room in the maze has a huge lizard king sitting on a throne who looks and talks like he came out of some kind of fantasy world.
  • MacGyvering: Some of the items that you have to combine. There's a mousetrap taken from a chain, a drumstick, and a miniature castle model.
  • The Maze: The sewer has lots of rooms and pipes that act as paths. It's so long and confusing that it's possible to spend more than half the game in it.
  • NOT!: Wayne says it in the intro or if attempt to do something stupid.
  • Point-and-Click Map: A black-and-green map lets you click on where to go.
  • Pop Quiz: There's a game show about babes where you have to push the buzzer before the other characters do and answer correctly to get points.
  • Robe and Wizard Hat: Slobotski requires a top hat and a cape to become a great magician.
  • Spoofs "R" Us: One of the map locations is Inventions 'R' Us.
  • Telethon: Wayne and Garth host a Pizza-thon (a telethon of sorts where people call in to order pizza which they'll sell for outrageous donations) to make enough money to fund Community Access Television and by extension the show.
  • Your Princess Is in Another Castle!: Once the Pizza-thon begins, everything seems to go fine and the money target is met, but then a member of DRAG hypnotizes people, steals all the money, and babe-naps Cassandra, beginning the second half of the game.
