“They always send in their expendables first to lull you into a false sense of security. Don’t be lulled.”

Wave after wave followed, each faster and deadlier than the previous.
Inevitably, the invaders broke through the bunkers, destroying my laser cannon.
GAME OVER
With pride, I entered my initials onto the high-score table and deposited another ten pence.
