when I was a kid I'd do this frequently for meta progression reasons, taking control of the CPU players just before they'd reach a star to make sure they don't buy it, but somehow never noticed the different ending.

I've never seen this game before, but from the looks of that number, it probably actually goes to year 65,535, but only displays 4 digits. It'll track dates for another 63 thousand years

yeah, I definitely agree with the point of this thread but I also still remember my parents' landline, my grandmother's phone number, and the number of an old friend's. With the possible exception of the last one, I don't think I'll ever forget them.

A lot of video-game publishers spend hundreds of millions of dollars chasing after "realistic graphics" and "massive open-worlds" when what players really want is just a shitload of weird little guys

Judau just has zero chill and gets straight to the point in the SRW games and it's perfect.

Observe;
