Atari has a new vector-style coin-op game out called The Adventures
of Major Havoc.  I find the game lots of fun, but one thing in 
particular seemed just right to describe on the net.

At the start of the game, it describes the "justification" for what's
going on by scrolling text on the screen.  It says that you are fighting
an evil race ... called the VAXXX.  I thought this was just a funny
coincidence, 'til they stated (this is paraphrased) "...you must destroy
the VAXXX by chasing them to their evil home planet of Maynard"!
