- | '''StrongBadZone''' is a vector graphics game that plays similarly to the Diamonds 3D game for the [[Wikipedia:Personal computer|PC]] and Mac. You are a spikey-headed cyber-shield guy (with a cyber-shield) trying to block "perplexing 3D geometric attacks" that come flipping toward you. If you hit them, they bounce back. The object of the game is to try to hit {{Film|Vector Strong Bad}}'s head until it disappears.

The object of the game is to try to hit {{Film|Vector Strong Bad}}'s head until it disappears. The game's graphical style appears to be a reference to [[Nintendo]]'s ill-fated 3D system, the [[Wikipedia:Virtual_Boy|Virtual Boy]]. The graphics of the console were well-known for solely consisting of the colors red and black, much like those in StrongBadZone. In particular, the game stylistically resembles the Virtual Boy vector game [[Wikipedia:Red Alarm|Red Alarm]], which at one point also features a large face that must be destroyed. StrongBadZone first appeared in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[video games]], and is the source of the quote, ''"Your head a splode!"'' (and variants such as ''"Your phone a splode!"'', ''"Well, my head a splode!"''). |

- | + | *If you and Vector Strong Bad are positioned just right, right-clicking the screen and pressing either the PLAY button or the BACK button (on the flash file version of the game) will result in you and Vector Strong Bad 'freezing', but the object thrown at you will continue to bounce off of your shield and proceed to hit Vector Strong Bad, eventually killing him and making a new head appear. But when you press play again, if the object bounced off of you at all it will make 'your head a splode' and treat you as though you had been hit. | |

* Another glitch involves the projectile apparently hitting the shield as though it has hit the back wall. If you deflect the projectile, it will move along the exact line it came at you and will continue to do so for as long as the file is loaded (it cannot be fixed no matter which direction you raise the shield or whether you dodge the projectile or allow your head to a splode). | * Another glitch involves the projectile apparently hitting the shield as though it has hit the back wall.
