Hey, could you review Blood Money by Psygnosis? (I bought the game and don't have an amiga xD)

[phreakindee]

@darestium I'd love to, but I do not yet own a copy. If I come into possession of it, I'll add it to the list of potential review candidates.

[Anthoric]

You didn't pay $12 for the game, you donated $12 to the company for times you spent enjoying their games over the years.

[phreakindee]

@Anthoric Agreed!

[MrShot97]

I’m curious to know more about the multiplayer mode. What do the setup screens for multiplayer look like? Serial cable to another computer, a network connection with your home computers, online, or all the above? If online how exactly does that work? How many people can you find that are playing? Can't see the benefit to paying for this feature. Even in a home network, you have to have friends, we all know us computer nerds are lacking in that department, ha!

@MrShot97 I showed it in the video, it's just hot-seat local multiplayer. 04:18

What the hell, girls blowing balloons in the related videos

I am still waiting for my Balls to drop..........

[chriskallen1]

The only game I've played by this company would have been Crusher Castle--I suggest you review that game. That was a fun one, but it did seem a tad on the random side.

[mrnukem]

You can actually play the shareware version online at classicdosgames. com

[SashaNein]

I like Isle Wars, a Risk clone. They still sell those games for like $12/$18 even though K-Mart used to sell registered versions for 99 cents in 1995. Maybe I'll buy one someday since they gave me a ton of hours of... pseudo-enjoyment... eh, f it, $1 is enough! haha

[Vectrex4Life]

I love this game!

Joker: HE STOLE MY BALLOONS!

[vertigo8]

Ahhhhhh that logo makes me think of Beatle Run and Quarry. Many hours of rage!

[Suscida]

@darestium Send it to Pheakindee!

[MagikGimp]

Man you had to be clever for those Soleau games, I never was.

[Ubersnuber]

I miss the cool intro you had some months back. Digged the music. As for the OT, Looks lime a killer mp game. Several layers of strategy and a simple interface.

i remember bolo adventures. really tough game from what i can remember.
