765

(tags game, Mr. Driller)

I never noticed. I have been playing Mr. Driller for a long time, but I only finally realized. You get 765 bonus points for uncovering chikyuujin. Namco in Japanese telephone numbers is 765. My friend was like duh when I explained that. Oh, sorry.

It must be a reoccuring Namco joke with decades-long history. Idolm@ster has the 765 goods shop, for example. I'm sure there's more everywhere.

BTW, I've been playing Mr. Driller recently on the DS (phat), and it feels ok. I much prefer the GBA Micro's D-pad. No wonder people prefer the GBA version and Gamecube versions.
