Re-releases.. Movie remakes have hit the gaming market for real I guess hehe.

Well - better than nothing! I just can't wait to tie a rubber duck together with a fork, oil it and use it for something stupid to make progression :D

I've missed these kind of games.. Too bad there's no market for it today.

European average? or just Italian? :P

Still I remember playing these games on ye olde 8-bit systems (Atari STe & Amiga), and rather than replay and probably ruin my childhood dreams of these games I'll be giving them a miss! When my father passed away a few years ago I dug out the STe and tinkered around on some of the old games, it was fun remembering the old days but I have to say the gfx were lacking somewhat! :)

Anyways, if you've not played or heard about them, give them a go they'll provide you with some corny-lines and 'action sequences' that will make you laugh I'm sure.
