woo - ordered a second hand copy from amazon. thanks to miki for finding it for me!
Posted by Govan, 11:27, 24th April 2003:
 
ok, but do you get the cool coats and the hovercars in Newcastle (and just because it's up on bricks doesn't mean it's hovering, neither does it being chucked out of a towerblock)?

bear in mind that gaming nostalgia is usually misplaced and these games are mostly best left in the past.

Cal, fair enough, whatever flicks your switches, i just remember when i found 'return of heracles' after all these years.

Beargod, not many people have seen it so far, theres still time for you to edit.
Posted by beargod, 11:52, 24th April 2003:
 
Nope Its alright Vic, I am happy
Posted by Victor Menendez, 11:58, 24th April 2003:

Posted by beargod, 11:59, 24th April 2003:

Posted by Victor Menendez, 12:09, 24th April 2003:

Posted by beargod, 12:12, 24th April 2003:
