(Everyone seems on edge today… it feels like something’s going to happen.)

As this new and exciting music plays I get stuck waiting for it to upload to tindeck for hours.

STUDENTS! I HAVE DIRE NEWS!

PAC-MAN… HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED BY EVIL NAMCO HIGH!

The revelation is like a jackhammer, cracking my heart open like a geode of despair.

The very thought that someone could kidnap Pac-Man, my friend, and our beloved…

…

…What does he do here, anyway?

It doesn’t matter!

We’ve all wondered about that, but you’re getting off topic… We have to rescue him!

If only we could access the High Security Confiscatorium where all our special items are locked up!

I have the combination right here, students.

BECAUSE IT’S KING!

King roars and the screen goes white.

 

The good news is, we got our stuff. The bad news is… we can never use the safe ever again.

GO FORTH, STUDENTS… SAVE PAC-MAN!

HIS FATE… LIES IN YOUR HANDS!

(Okay who can I count on to help save Pac-Man?!)

I hope we only need one person or else I’m kinda screwed.

 

Galaga Ship!

We’ve got to get Pac-Man back!

And you’re a spaceship with laser blasts and stuff.

IT’S TRUE. I’VE ALWAYS CONSIDERED BEING A SPACESHIP TO BE A TERRIBLE CURSE, BUT YOU’VE MADE ME REALIZE THAT HAVING A BEAUTIFUL HULL IS JUST A PART OF WHAT MAKES ME…

GALAGA SHIP!

AND HERE, NOW, FINALLY, IN THIS BIG DRAMATIC END BATTLE SEQUENCE, BEING A SPACESHIP CAN BE GOOD FOR A GREATER CAUSE!

COUSIN.

GRAB THAT PURPLE POWER UP CAPSULE.

Got it!

NOW EAT IT!

Um. It’s bigger than my head.

And I don’t think it’s REMOTELY edible…

COUSIN, IT’S A POWER UP. THEY’RE ALWAYS EDIBLE, EVEN WHEN THEY AREN’T.

(Well, I can’t understand that logic OR argue with it…)

THAT POWER UP WILL IMBUE ME WITH DOUBLE THE FIREPOWER.

BUT IF YOU EAT IT FIRST, AND THEN HOP INTO MY PILOT SEAT…

THAT WILL GIVE ME TRIPLE THE FIREPOWER!!!

!!!

 

YEAH LET’S POWER UP AND FIGHT TOGETHER!

HERE GOES!

I’m so pissed this game has no pause feature. I just heard about the Starfighter Visual Novel using Date Night and it kinda puts a cold pit in the bottom of my stomach. I don’t recommend anyone use this software for anything. I guess I could pause by hitting the options thingy but there’s no rewind capability either if I need to go back to something. There’s not even any save file feature so I can revisit certain parts. RGH I hate you, Date Night.

Anyway so this video which I didn’t pause and now can’t view again showed this building – Evil Namco High. There was another zoomed out shot also with a shot of all of the students in a zombie-like form. And then Sai opened so I could paste this screencap and I missed what happened next. I’m sure I’ll get all of these caps the next couple of times through the game. Sorry about this.

EDIT: here are those pictures!

So here was the screenshot I came back to:

 

This game has some serious balance issues.

 

Thank you students for saving me! I thought I was a goner!

Thank YOU Pac-Man! We were only able to do it because we were true to ourselves!

That line as it appears in the game has really atrocious punctuation. Did you run out of time, Namco High staff?

And then the credits roll. Wow, okay.

 

THANKS PAC-MAN.

 

We make a great team!

OH, COUSIN. WE SURE DO.

The screen goes black and the two images move toward each other. There’s a kissing sound effect.

And I guess that’s it for the first installment of Let’s Play Namco High! It was good and enjoyable until they had no idea what they were doing at the end. Let’s find out if they all turn out like this.
