Advanced Lawnmower Simulator is a video game for the ZX Spectrum published as an April Fools' Day joke by Your Sinclair magazine in 1988. The player is tasked with mowing yards with a lawn mower in exchange for rewards. The magazine claimed the game was developed and published by "Gardensoft" and also published a joke review lauding it and released the game on a cover tape. It was not officially labeled as a prank until August 1990. The concept has inspired other games with similar titles.
