On DVD January 29th....If you weren't lucky enough to catch this one in theaters.

I can't believe I missed this. On like a pop full o' neck bone here. This was probably my first "favorite game". This or Dragon's Lair, but two quarters was a bit too much. Rastan ranked pretty high up there as well.
On a side note... I can't pass by a Ms. PacMan without trying to beat the high score. Gotta bring back this aspect of gaming. High Scorers rule. Losers drool.I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore -

Loved the movie. It's funny, but after you watch it, you feel like you could score a million points on that damn game, but when I try, I still can't get past the level 4 spring board and 90,000 points. Steve is a class act. Great flick.
