The Rad Project, Page 2

Magic John	Totally Rad
Master Pong, do we have to keep running?
I wanna learn magic!
The scriptwriter freely elaborates, as per usual. Jake's outfit is modified to make him more Excellent.

Magic John	Totally Rad
Nuh-uh!
Even magicians need strong bodies!
As you practice and amass experience, your magic will grow more powerful.
You'll thank me later for sure when you give it a go!	N/A
Again, typically, the scriptwriter sticks in whatever goofball phrases come to his or her mind.

Magic John	Totally Rad
All right, but I'm exhausted.
Keep going, John!
I'm behind you all the way!	N/A
Allison is an obviously an empowered '80s girlfriend, as opposed to the vapid Yuu.

Magic John	Totally Rad
That's easy for you to say, Yuu.
Wh-what was that?
Goodness me!

John is suddenly attacked. Who could be behind it?
And it's time for action! The "ACT 1" letters are actually the same colors; they just cycle and I can't be bothered to sync them up. The "Zap!" has been moved over a bit in Rad, and, oddly enough, the Z has had a corner trimmed, among other tweaks. Huh. Jake has something most righteous on his wrist, but I can't tell what, unless it's just wrinkly. (Update: Skrybe informs me that it's probably one of those slap-on wristband-bracelet-things. Stylin'!)

Gameplay is essentially the same. Some enemies do more damage in Totally Rad, and some of the continue spots are further back as well. The player sprites, of course, are all appropriately redrawn. Also, the spell to change back to human form has a different icon. John's trademark cap had to go (hey, where are the wings?), and so we get Jake's trademark, which are his rad sneaks, I guess.
