Yours truly (Mark Alpiger) recorded this segment from my world
record game of The Glob while wrapping up a trip to Challenge
Arcade. I was there to run my inaugural gaming event, the 2006
Classic Arcade Gaming (dot com) Tournament. The day after it
ended, and before
I left to head back home, I stopped by the arcade, and tried out a few games
of 'Glob', just to see if I could make a decent score. Well, a
world record is usually always decent, and this is no exception, tho I was
shooting for a bit higher, as you'll hear on the tape. You'll also
hear arcade owner Joe LeVan noting some accomplishments to me about
a game of Pole Position II that he was playing nearby.
Note the
incredible speed of the enemies on the two levels I play (10 and 11);
remarkably, they even get noticeably faster a few levels higher !
Well, a final interesting note - there's a timer bar at the bottom of the
screen, and when it reaches the end, you lose a man. That almost
happened on the screen the vid starts out showing, and explains my
exasperation at the end of this level, since I had to push my way onto the
final elevator, and still barely finished in time. |
