Contact (video game): Difference between revisions

In ''Contact'', you control Terry and guide him from island to island, searching for the power cells, beating up monsters, and making friends with the locals while on the lookout for the CosmoNOT gang, as they want the cells for their own purpose. As you play deeper and deeper into the game, the Professor's motives become less and less clear...

 

 

----

* [[Clothes Make the Superman]]: Terry gains different abilities depending on the costumes you find. Which leads into...

* [[Elemental Powers]]:

** [[Blow You Away]]: Flyboy.

** [[Making a Splash]]: Aqua Shot.

* [[Five-Man Band]]:

** [[The Hero]]: [[The Heart|Mint]]

** [[The Smart Guy]]: [[Team Mom|Nadia]]

** [[The Big Guy]]: [[Big Brother Instinct|Bull]]

** [[Team Pet]]: The white monkey.

*** They're also in a band with the thematically corresponding instruments for their roles.

* [[Gainax Ending]]: Big time. {{spoiler|1=The Professor unceremoniously abandons Terry and disappears with the cells, apparently aware of his status as a videogame character. Terry tries to fight you, the player, for all you've done to him. The CosmoNOTS go right back to their music careers without chasing the Prof.. Mint, for some reason, takes the time to bring Terry back home like the Prof. promised to, and asks him to "help her" "next time," despite all the grief Terry (and you) put her through. Confused yet? Wait for [[The Stinger]].}}

* [[Guide Dang It]]: Each of the costumes represent about 1/6 of the abilities in the game. You need all the elemental outfits, at least, to get through the main quest. And good lord, are each of them easy to miss.

* [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]: The CosmoNOTs.

* [[Romance Sidequest]]: Terry can woo four girls in the game, culminating in them living in the ship with him. Oddly, already having one girl does not mean another girl can not come. You can even have all four living with you at once, with no repercussions.

** Arguably the reason why ''[[MOTHER]]''/''[[Earthbound]]'' fans took notice of the game lies in similar elements. The favorite food naming for example...

* [[Shifting Sand Land]]: Aegis

* [[Team Pet]]: Mochi, the space dog-that-thinks-it's-a-cat.

* [[The Stinger]]: For some strange reason, it only appears some of the time, and nobody knows why some players can see it and not others.

* [[You Bastard]]
