Stupid Poll(tm) VII

Somewhere for the annoying and/or off-topic threads to go. Feel free to post about whatever, but abuse will still be dealt with, and possibly with more force. Especially pac-porno. ;)

i have to say i like all the above (maybe except for pacman, prefering mrs pacman) since at least with those kinds of odds leeching is usually really hard :)

I like "Games with bullets fly at you at 10 million kmph" and games that "10 million enemies thrown at you at once". How about Tac-Scan: million bullets flying at you 10 million Mph 8)
Can't vote against Pacman, cause he's the man. Leaves 2 choices...

What about the "Games that give you 10 millions points or more"? Giga Wing and Mar Matrix that come in my mind which I can't even keep track of the scores while playing with.

Those pretty much come under 10 million bullets at once (especially Mars Matrix), and they do require skill throughout the game to score high. Games with stupid 10 million point bonuses would be better... Hellooooo, 1942 :)

I think it's a 50 million bonus on one stage, and 250 million on another. But yes, it is rather silly.

And let's not forget that daft Konami "stupid-ass bonus" :)
(I mean Nyan Nyan Panic / Kitten Kaboolde, of course, not that other evil Konami game ;))

...The horse is dead already :wink:

Yep, it's lame 50M + 250M later. Also some lame zillion missile bonus. Similar lame bonus for AB1?

AB1 certainly doesn't have the 50+250 million bonus. Although, After Burner does have awesome Engrish - which BBH has already pointed out lately. :)

My favourite engrish line is from Sky Target control panel, there are instructions that read "Maneuver the sophisticated fliing machine"
...Think they tried to say: Maneuver an advanced fighter-jet :P

Yeah! My favorite engrish is Armed Police Batrider. "Let Ass Kick Together!" a song tune on the bottom of the screen. I thought that was hilarilous one that I ever heard of. :lol:

I thought i saw a site a while back that collects engrish quotes? This one is one i found just now but i thought there was a better one more focused on engrish.
