The Last Starfighter

Post by Hawkwings »

But wait, you say. The Last Starfighter was a movie.

True, very true.

However, I present this:

That's right, it's the Starfighter game, as featured in the movie. Get a high enough score and maybe *you* might be recruited by the Star League-blah blah blah...

I got a score of 266,000 on my very first try. Be warned, it takes a while to load up.

I downloaded this, then realized I have no real desire to play the game from that movie, and that the control scheme stinks for PC anyway. Still a nice find though.
If Religion and Politics were characters on a soap opera, Religion would be the one that goes insane with jealousy over Politics' intimate relationship with Reality, and secretly murder Politics in the night, skin the corpse, and run around its apartment wearing the skin like a cape shouting "My votes now! All votes for me! Wheeee!" -- Lagmonster
