 ??? Perfectly normal english word: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhole
Fits quite well actually, doesn't it?  ;)

Cool find, Bela!
I've never seen the wide screen version of it, I only knew the original "gold" edition.

I've never heard the word "Manhole" before I spotted this game a few years ago, but it is totally match with the gameplay.
There are four buttons available, each corresponding to an opening in the street on the game screen. The player must use the buttons to close the manholes before pedestrians accidentally fall through the open holes and into the sewers.

I never play anything.
I just feel satisfaction in possessing things.

Fun is evil.

You sound like some Christian extremist streams we have here in Holland. Been to 1 or 2 weddings of those people and the first time I asked to my wife: where the hell is the band ?? And then she replied: there is no band.... ! So I said, "so.....what do you do the entire evening without a band at a wedding ??".....the answer was: "Talk".......and they did those incredibly horrible games they do on weddings........
Anyway, their motto is exactly that.....Fun is evil.  And they definitely knew how to not have fun....  ;D ;D
