-Cans, by [[inmate2993]], is a series of comedy games starring Chuck Flemwas. It is perhaps best known as one of the first MZX games to feature cameos of the active MZXers of the time, and has served as the inspiration for many imitation ("Cans-style") games, such as [[Idiocy]] and [[Life of Mr. Ascii]]. ([[emo maggot FREAK]] carries the torch spiritually, if not following the Cans structure.)
+Faggot community!
-For the most part, the Cans series takes place in The Bronx, with Chuck eventually making his way to Planet #megazeux, Planet Badness, space, and Barkness.
-==Story==
-Cans deals with the apparently ongoing conflict between Inmate and his little brother Robert. Chuck is always pulled along to aid Inmate in his attempts at stopping Robert, much to Chuck's dismay.
-==Characters==
-===Chuck Flemwas===
-A character that somehow manages to embody both Beavis and Butthead into one person. Chuck is always armed with a slingshot and an infinite supply of high explosives, though more often than not there is little reason to use either of them. No matter where he works, Chuck always ends up being employed as a janitor. He resents being dragged into Inmate's business, and really just wants to have fun by any means necessary.
-Of the six party members that can be acquired in Cans 3, Chuck is the only one that does not attack with a melee weapon. This does not affect his damage at all.
-===Guy===
-Although he is a fully grown adult, Guy enjoys spending his time in front of the television, watching the Mostly Morphine Powder Strangers.
-===Cindy===
-Cindy first appears in Cans 3, somehow inexplicably on a date with Chuck.
-===Inmate===
-The creator of the game, manifested as a smiley with sunglasses.
-===Robert===
-The primary antagonist.
-==Notable MZXer Cameos==
-===[[Exophase]]===
-Exo, appearing here as gaK, is presumably only included as a plot device so that the main characters may steal his airship. Most often, said airship is crashed into a building of some sort.
-===[[Zixyer]]===
-Zixyer, first appearing in Cans 2, explains most (if not all) of the major plot details to the main characters by way of [[Sivion|Sivion-style]] cutscenes. He has his own theme song, Da Zixyer Rave.
-===[[Waka]]===
-Although he gets an inconsequential cameo in Cans 2, he joins your party in Cans 3.
-===Rook Eldain===
-Though not actually an MZXer (rather, the creation of one), Rook appears in both Cans 2 and 3. In Cans 2, he aids Chuck in fighting [[Monthigos]] in an RPG battle (Chuck is given the option to throw Rook at Monthigos, which causes more damage). In Cans 3, Rook appears just for the sake of appearing (and in this appearance, Rook uses Sivion-style conversation windows for a brief moment).
-==Games in Series==

-* ''Cans III'' - inmate2993 - [[Autumn Dreams]], 1998

-==Trivia==
-* Cans is arguably one of the most popular/famous MZX games of all time, rivaling other games like Caverns of Zeux. Newbies in particular tend to adore this game much more than most, despite the fact that the cameos are years old and mostly of people who are long-gone.
-* Inmate planned to make Cans 4, but the project was cancelled. All that remains of it is its music, which Inmate had uploaded to his website.
-* Chuck Flemwas appears in [[Kuddy|Kuddy's]] game, [[BLARGFRDRGMAHAG!]], as one of the objects that Slap can throw at enemies.
-* Chuck's name also appears in Inmate's [[MegaZeux Combat Trainer]], as one of the high-score rankings.
-* Cans 2 starts off in the same fashion as [[Veloso|Veloso's]] game [[MegaZeux Superstar]].
-* The voice clip on Cans Episode One's death board is of [[dormando]].
