*casts Necromancy on thread*
Ok, so technically not a Flash game... But talk about addictive!!!!
Several weeks ago, Easter weekend, I was looking for a WAV file on my C:\ drive - and a lot of little wave files in a folder C:\Programs\Windows NT\Pinball\ showed up.
PINBALL????
I DID NOT KNOW!!!
Which is kind of ridiculous considering there is actually a link in the games folder in the start menu, but I always thought that was just Minesweeper and stupid card games.
It's called
3D Space Cadet, and I started playing, actually already on Easter Monday morning, not long after midnight.
...
... I forced myself into bed at 10 in the morning!
The following day, I found
cheat codes, and, with unlimited balls, set out to conquer the game. Hours later, I had reached 230 million points and was missing only a single mission, when my Antivirus decided to update and demand a reboot... :/ You can pause the game but not save it.
I retried several days later, got to the same point with only 76 million points, and paused, and drive home for a week.
Only this morning, wanting to finally reboot my computer, did I resume. After an hour, I finally activated that last mission, it seems to be called Maelstrom in English, and got to the final shot... before running out of fuel!
Another hour later, though, I made it, and...
... the game just went on!!
No "Mission accomplished"???
I tilted multiple times because I had found out that that actually does make me lose balls, and when I had finally used up all the extra balls I had accrued and the game DID end...
... I was denied an entry in the high score list!!!!!!
It was the fitting end to an absolutely horrible day.
