One of my favorite arcade games of the ‘80s was Sinistar. I can still remember playing the game at the theaters across from Columbia Mall (long gone now), trying in vain to shoot those little ships and asteroids to get the precious crystals needed to kill Sinistar. It was one of the first games to sport real voice samples; too cool. But I digress.
Sinistar, the main opponent in the game, was an entity of few words, uttering only seven phrases in the game. Videotopia analyzes these phrases and reveals a hitherto undiscovered level of meaning belied by the terseness of his lexicon. Revel in The Philosophical Revelations of Sinistar and see for yourself… 😉
