Murder Death Kill eh? I still prefer Mission deliver kindness. xD

I love MDK, and it's sad that Planet Moon aren't doing anymore hardcore shooters with a sence of humor anymore, because we could more of those.

All of these WW2 shooters, and dark futuristic shooters are okay, but what ever happened to a gang of thieves, armed with a Monty Python esque style of humor, stealing a magical book?

[garudoh]

There's so many different variations of what 'MDK' means, I just used the one I personally heard the most. Never figured out if one was supposed to be considered official.

Also, very much agreed on the state of shooters. I don't play it myself, but TF2 does seem to buck that trend nicely. Wish there was a single-player game of that quality with that kind of aesthetic.

Yo! Cool! Thanks for the memories!

My pleasure Tommy, always awesome to see you pop in and comment on my videos. Keep on rockin' man.

I never understood why this game did not sell I mean you fall out of space like a bullet then land on giant alien city what about that isn't awesome

@xxcrysad3000xx Hello ignorant Tommy worshipper, before calling me retarded you should know that there were actually four composers working on this in total. Todd Dennis being one of them did a lot of work on it too so I was right. U mad?

[xxcrysad3000xx]

@ueffect The question is why are you so retarded. Maybe you haven't heard tommy's solo work but this is certainly within his range as far as composition goes.

[ueffect]

The question is was Tommy really the one who wrote the score? I have heard his other work, it doesn't really sound any similar, unless this was a one-of-a-kind production.

They should reproduce it in HD

@TheSmallFish1 the only game that has a helmet for a sniper rifle, complete with projectile cameras....

@ppipod Lol when I was a kid, me and my brother always shit in our pants and freaked out when that tank was coming at us in Level 3.

What did we always do? We were so scared we took Kurt Hectic's (The character) back to level one and hide for like a hour, shivers running through our spine and laugh to eachother just because we wouldn't dare to go back at level 3 :p LOL, but it was so funny in the process. It nearly makes me want to cry, such good memories !!

Wonderful music, wonderful game. I really wish that I could get this playing right on windows 7. It's aged very well actually graphically, gameplay it's solid as a rock.

@TommyTallarico Are you still making music for video games? Because you made some scores in MDK that make me weep of nostalgia everytime i hear them. Thanks for the great moments in my video game (musical) history!

[ppipod]

I used to be scared and looked away every time i died, cuz of that skull coming to you :( I was like 7 lmao
