There just place holders, he isn't making money of this game anyway.

[UnitedGamersX3]

i was just wondering how you lernt to create this game (college,internet course etc)???

[A1260T]

i dont think they would sue, its not a released title just a work in progress til art is supplied. For many this is the only way to get place holder artwork in during development

[mess1ahh]

It's Metal Slug actually. I hope they will sue your ass you dumb idiot.

[Karlazune]

Boring in the educational sense perhaps
