Yeah 10/10 for being on topic (in the off-topic forum I'm not even sure THAT's a good thing)
0/10 for laughs, - Tumbleweed City Arizona!

Actually, I think the only place that qualifies for that is Tombstone...though population is less than a mile away.

Anyways, I thought some of it was kinda funny. The following is curious, though, given the quantity of Mad Dog McCree fans I've come across in the forums over the years:

Extreme Mad Dog McCree
released in 1993 by American Laser Games


If you haven't played the original Mad Dog McCree, you missed out on an awesomely bad experience. Picture Lethal Enforcers in the old west, all in Full Motion Video. The amount of corny overacting and dudes falling over railings exceeds your wildest dreams.

American Laser Games was so happy with the success of their product that they took half of their earning and invested in a new version of the game that would take advantage of the burgeoning "extreme" trend that was becoming popular with kids.



Consider it high comedy....sincere tragedy....whatever...don't take it personally.

Is Pacland really an ultra rare arcade cabinet?... new [Re: Monachos]

...I remember it from one of my local arcades in Cromer but I didn't realise it was rare. However, I can confirm it was a pretty poor game.

Having actually read it now I see what you mean. I just scanned it first time.
