The Last Starfighter aliens – you know where to look
Whenever a game gives me a great credit streak: I play it.
Devil May Cry games generally have my vote in terms of best end credits, but the flight simulator in the Smash Bros. series comes close. Porky Zarate felt the same way and became one of the first documented players to get all 190 names in the credits.
If you may remember Smash Melee has a memorable end credits minigame that lets you shoot any name you can: it even scores at the end! Zarate was apparently inspired by this challenge edited by Nathaniel Bandy, which offered a bounty of $ 3,000 on the first person to earn all 190 credits.
The requirements were as follows: must be done on a GameCube or Wii, use of controller must be verified through recording, gameplay must be recorded, and deadline was March 31, 2021. Well, Zarate ticked all those boxes, as the video below shows their real-life input for verification. They even created a Twitter account in the race to 190.
If only I could have seen this with my own eyes in 2001.
