IPAMPILASH!
The Dino, he was always a fond of a the classic vector-based game, she was a called a the "
Eliminator", eh?
Holy crappa what a the goddamn rush that game, she was, eh? You gotta this giant donut-shaped thingy floating around inna the middle of a the screen, anna inna'side it, you gotta the little bad guy ship, anna as a the donut, she floats around anna bounces offa the sides of a the screen, the little ship inna the middle, she grows anna grows.
Meanwhile, you gotta the little ship you control like a the Asteroids ship, eh? Turn/Thrust/Fire... anna you can a bounce off a the sides of a the screen too, no? Anna your shots, they bounce off as a well, eh? Anna you gotta the enemy ship flying around trying to shoot atta you too, eh? Anna when you get a hit, you get "pushed"... anna when a you shoot a the enemy, you push a them, eh?
It donna sound a so hard unna'til a you realize that iffa you touch a the giant donut thingy that's alla bouncing around anna such, you gonna to die, eh? Anna so's a you gotta to fly around, trying to control a your ship a so's a not a to crash inna'to a the moving donut, anna avoiding a the constant shots of a the enemy ship, eh? Iffa you kill a the enemy, he comes back inna the greater numbers, eh? 1 ship, then a 2 ships, then a 3 ships, etc. Anna the donut, she moves faster anna faster, eh?
Anna as a the little ship inna the middle, she grows big enough, she comes out of a the donut anna pursues you inna the bee-line, anna she shoots a the flaming ball of a the Death that's a gonna to kill you right onna contact, eh? Anna you can a try anna shoot back, but the ship, she barely gets a deflected by a your shots, anna she continues with a the pursuit, eh? (All while a the other ships, they trying to PWN a your ass too, eh? Hehehe...)
The only salvation is a to line uppa yourself with a the tunnel leading down inna'to a the middle of the giant donut anna fire away... which makes a the biggest goddamn explosion anna the whole machine, she vibrates anna such. It's a not a so easy a 'cos a the donut, she is a moving anna you gotta the other ships firing away, knocking you alla'round, no?
Anna then she starts uppa all over again, eh? It never ends... unna'til a you die!!!
Goddamn I love a that game. I try anna play it onna my MAME these days, eh? To relive a the glory days, but a the Old Man's reflexes, admittedly, they are a not as a fast as a they were then, eh? Goddamn...
