There has been some discussion recently about phrases that can be heard
when playing Star Wars. There are also phrases that can be read if you
watch carefully. When you are about to enter the death star, for a split
second before the scene changes to the inside, the lights on the death
star form a message, and you can again see this just after you leave the
death star after shooting the exhaust port before the death star becomes
smaller on your screen and explodes. There is more than one message that
can be seen. The one that is most easily identifiable is "May the force
be with you", with 3 words on top of the death star and 3 words on the
bottom, with a pair of lines running horizontally seperating the two
groups. There is another message that I have never quite been able to read.
The first word is "holy", and the third is "rivera", but these are about
all the words I have been able to satisfactorily make out. Has anyone else
been able to figure out what this other message says, and whether there are
any other messages besides the two I've mentioned?

Picky, Picky!  

It also helps to have a Jedi machine in your house!

But how long did it take you?  let's see, it took me 15 hours to get
109 million, so it took you 60 hours or so to get 410.  The world record
for playing a video game is 67 hours, and he barely got that.  In fact,
he was playing joust, and was able to rest a lot(!) more than anyone on
Star Wars.  Of course, presumably you were playing on a 6 sheild, 1 bonus
machine, and not a 9 sheild, 3 bonus one (a lot easier).  If you feel
you can do it, go for the guiness record of 15,250,793 (6 sheild, no bonus)!
Or, better yet, play it for 100 hours on any setting and you win
10,000 dollars (during the marathon contest held in a couple of months).
Sorry to be so suspicious.

Forgot this important part: I didn't spend much money once I got past level
12, but I can't believe you just walked up to the game and played it once or
twice to get good.  That game was hard!
