Heh, it would be cool to create boss aliens based on the size of the file.  Man I would have a lot of ISO bosses to destroy.
That's Mr. Deception to you.

Who ever created this game is one big hypocrite.

Quote
Why do we assume that because we are given a weapon an awarded for using it, that doing so is right?

Why is this his point when the instructions in the game says "If you manage to kill all the aliens without dying, you win."

No offense here but....sounds like an arrogant MAC user to me. ;)

This reminds me of InnerSpace. A game that is pretty similar. It uses your computer files and the objective is it to go and collect the files for game currency. Which you can buy a new ship or upgrade the one you got. You can also kill rival ships who are trying to do the same thing. You can also obtain allies, and compete in races. Races are just like a circle track you fly around and at the end, you win computer files as prizes. Of course after the race is over you can steal the files and get out.

At which you will alert the police ships, which will come after you and try to arrest you. You can also break the handcuffs by boosting the ship really fast and you can even kill the police ships. If you do get caught they take you to court where you pay fines.

Another thing is if you kill rival ships and steal their files, you can also get arrested for that. It is so much fun, the files can also be viruses, not actually viruses on your computer just in the game. Check it out:
