Is that a different game than the one I've been seeing in stores for months now?

PryopizmStan Ferguson, Staff AlumnusNovember 01, 2005

Sure, why not?

I was irritated that this had a trailer that wasted space on Midway Arcade Treasures 3.

Seriously folks, dont stick trailers of games in your programs, nobodys going to care about them years later, especially if its a crappy game, okay?

They had to fill in that extra space somehow.

"Shouldn't we include developer interviews or old TV adverts like other retro collections?"
"HAHA NO, throw in an Ed, Edd N Eddy trailer"
"Uh, boss?"
"Yeah, sup?"
"I hate you so much"
