Such a fun game to play! More than once I've thought about trying this one with my current game group but no one else owns the PHB... but I still think about it from time to time.
Check out this vid about the game...

Yep, nothing but love for HM4. One of these years if we ever do a group gaming weekend, we shall endeavor to have an adventure using it for sure.

The thought hit me today that since HM4 has a strong parody element, were I to play a wizard or battle mage in a game, my PC's magic missiles would look like a 1' long version of the Hamburger Helper hand or a smurf's hand or something like the hand of one of the animaniacs.
The magic missile(s) would zoom up to the target, draw back, and pimp / wuss slap the shit out of it for the damage. An accommodating DM might even allow a minor sound effect to accompany the impact (loud slapping sound, a woman's (womens') voice(s) saying "damn, bitch!", or some such) to enhance the humor / parody aspect.
Imagine the visual of a target getting hit with 3 foot long hamburger Helper styled hands at the same time and, instead of a blasting sound or "pew pew", 3 different sounding womens' voices all say "daaaaamn bitch!"
