All your base?

Post by 2000AD »

You know I used to have Zero-Wing for the old Mega Drive...

It was pretty poor game.

Then it got stolen, along with all the awesome games like General Chaos, Rolling Thunder and Sonic 2...

Man, that sucks, I loved General Chaos, now all of my happy memories of it will be tainted by the knowledge it was stolen. *sob* :(

General Chaos, you will be sorely missed...

I'd like to take this opportunity to remember all those flamethrower troops that valiantly died doing their duty...

Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will

Of course it's old, it's a thread answering a question from somebody. You don't go around saying "old" unless somebody makes a thread saying "Hey guys look what I found!"
