And now, after
the last three weeks, at long
least last we're getting to the final 8 games/28 verbs from this snazzy Konami ad:
So pull our your slingshots and equip some space ship ghost-OPTIONs, because we're at
Week 4:
The Goonies II, Gradius
or, Week 4: One-Option Willy!
The Goonies II
Spin
The yo-yo; the second-best weapon of choice for wacky kids whacking stuff.
Rescue
"YOU'RE LATE MIKEY, I ALMOST DIED". To which I say, "Shut up, Chunk."
Escape
...escape to an all-expense-paid 3-day/2-night trip to a tropical wonderland, full of spiders, snakes and scorpions!
Screen
Yeah, I'm not sure how "Screen" fits in to something you do in a video game. However, this warning appears to be broadcasted on a diegetic television, sooo, there we go. Also: who doesn't love 8-BIT MA FRATELLI?
Gradius
Bombard
That missile's TOTALLY going to hit that hopping brownish diamond-shaped robot! And when I say "totally", I mean "probably".
Defend
If you save up your power capsules and buy the big-ticket "?" item, you get some googly-eye-shields which adhere to the front of your spacecraft.
Evade
I'm banking upwards, exposing my space ship's adorable underbelly!
Invade
Here we invade the boss space ship's personal space. Also we will shoot lasers at him. TAKE THAT, BOSS SPACE SHIP!
