Torturing Myself With Good Ol’ Flak Attack
I’ve been playing another old Windows game that I remember playing back when I was kid in the Windows XP era, and it’s called Flak Attack:
The objective in this game is to aim and fire at the robot soldiers and stop them from parachuting to the ground while shooting down satellites, jets and helicopters and letting the friendly UN helicopters fly by and drop extra ammo boxes which they can be used as smart bombs to destroy everything in the sky if you shoot them. However, the game is over when 4 robot soldiers gather on one side of my base and then destroy it:
I got up to level 13 with my final score of 444,600 points after killing 853 enemies. I’m very satisfied about it, and what I like about this game is the chain reaction bonus every time I shoot down an enemy ship which will explode and fall into another one after another. But yeah, this old school game is explosively fun. 🙂
And The Award Goes To… ME!
Last month I put up this Borderlands 2 screenshot up on Steam, and I got an award for it today while I was going through my e-mail messages:
Hooray! That’s 200 Steam points added to my account which will be available in two weeks. This is one of the best days of my life! 😀
Current Gaming Mood: Quake II For The Nintendo 64
I decided to check out the original Nintendo 64 version of Quake II, and here’s a picture of what the gameplay looks like:
I start off in the Strogg Outpost where I encountered and killed a bunch of light guards and one shotgun guard while discovering secrets in that level on Medium difficulty.
What I do like about this version of Quake II is every time you complete a level it shows you the stats of time, kills and secrets along with the given password:
Anyways, first level is finished and I’m going to the next level which is the Central Complex. But that’ll have to wait because I still need to reconfigure the funky controls the next time I come back to playing this game.
The Queen Is Weirdly Dead
I was playing some more Borderlands 2 evening, and I was killing some spiderants in the Dust until this happened all of the sudden:
But yeah, I saw the way that spiderant queen died and I started laughing really, really hard. 😛
Leveling Up Again In Bawderlands: Der Pre-Squeakquel
Good news, everyone! After a couple days of killing dozens and dozens of Shugguraths, Rathyds and Scavs I finally reached level 12 as the Gladiator in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. Hooray for me! I also picked up a few rare blue-rated weapons from the gun shop and then added them to my collection:
Now is my time to celebrate by taking a break from this game… for now. 🙂
I Got New Skins In Bawderlands: Der Pre-Sequel
I played even more Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel last night, and this time I decided to complete certain challenges to unlock skins for my Gladiator. Here are four of them that I’ve unlocked:
I even unlocked a few skins for my Moon Buggy. Anyways, that’s enough of this game because I’mma go do something completely different. Adios, amigos!
Left 4 Dead But It’s A Solo Game For The Roku
Today is the first day of Fall, and I was checking out a Roku game called Zombie 3D, a first person shooter game where your objective is to kill all zombies before they get you. Your town is infiltrated with zombies and they have started attacking people and turning them into zombies, and it’s up to you to stop this zombie apocalypse and your town and your people. I only used the default pistol because I don’t want to waste my money on weapons such as the Shotgun, AK-47, etc.
Unfortunately there’s no screenshot of the actual gameplay but I’ve gone through the first five levels of killing zombies with a pistol without becoming one, but what sucks about this game is that you need to spend some money to buy the full game in order to keep playing onward and I’m not going to do that. Also, the sprites in-game are 2D, not 3D. It should go without saying but I’ve concluded that Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 are a lot better than this Roku game, but at least I had fun killing zombies one after another. 😉
Bullseye!
I was checking out an old Windows game called Shooting Gallery under DOSBox not that long ago. Here’s a screenshot of what the game looks like:
The objective in this game is simple. All you have to do is shoot four times on all four randomly moving targets which are the radioactive barrel, happy face, traffic light and a bullseye before shooting the button that reads ‘NO!!’
Hooray! I have beaten Shooting Gallery without missing a single shot. Perfect victory for me! 😀
Coming Back To Playing Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel
I decided to take a break from Borderlands 2 and moved on to playing Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel since it’s been a long time. I managed to grab dozens of golden keys, completed some challenges to build up my Badass rank, and leveled myself up to level 10 as the Gladiator. 🙂
And now for my next trick, I will take a break from shooting down space baddies and use up some of my golden keys for awesome weaponry, Oz kits and other stuff like that. Ta-ta for now, space cowboys!
The Payne Continues On
I decided to come back to playing a bit of Max Payne, and I was on Part 3, Chapter 5: In the Land of the Blind. I have started off in the courtyard after jumping out of the window when two Matrix guys entered the room and killed all the members of the Inner Circle inside the Asgard Building.
I have managed to annihilate a dozen mercenaries before finding a security camera, and saw that Alfred Woden had survived the massacre. A few bullets later, I discovered a videotape with an extortion note attached to it, suggesting Nicole Horne was blackmailing the Inner Circle into silence. I also discovered the Aesir Headquarters blueprints that Woden left me as a present and watched more news on TV with Kyra Silver. Then I found a room where there is a couch and a round carpet on the floor. On the opposite wall of the couch, there is a painting on the wall. So I walked up to the painting and started beating it up with a baseball bat, a button suddenly appears which opens the entrance to Woden’s secret room.
After I saw ‘The Void’ I opened up Woden’s closet and guess what I found?
I got out of the secret room and headed to the lower levels of the building, killing any remaining mercenaries and Matrix guys who try to murder me, and went into the basement levels of the building to the sixth chapter of Part 3 which is Byzantine Power Game. Hooray! Now that would be good place to do a checkpoint the next time I try to beat this FPS game.
